Freight Category

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The category named FREIGHT operates differently than other POSitive categories.  

When an item is assigned to this category, it is automatically considered to be a non-profit item and will be reflected as such in POSitive reports.  When an invoice is created, the value of the freight charges will appear as a separate entry.

Invoice History

In the lower right corner of the Invoice History window, the freight charge ($10.00, in this example) is displayed separately and is not include in the subtotal.
