This approach works well to allocate freight costs incurred per order.
- Click on Enter Supplier Invoice
In the main navigation menu, select the **A/P module** and click on "**Enter Supplier Invoice**".
- Select "Multiple Orders"
Select "**there are multiple orders for this invoice**".
- Click on Vendor
Select the appropriate vendor for this invoice, such as **UPS Shipping**.
- Click on "+ Add Data"
Enter the invoice information as usual, such as **invoice number**, **invoice date**, and **due date**. Then, click on "**+ Add Data**".
- Copy/Paste Data
Scrub your shipping invoice to match the Aturian format, i.e., **Order#**, **Description**, **Item Type**, **Unit Cost**, **Qty**, **Freight Cost**, **GL**, **GL comment**.
💡 Tip!
**GL comment** field is not necessary; however, it is recommended to complete other fields. Aturian will adjust freight GL account automatically to correspond with the order. Enter "**0**" for **Unit Cost** and "**1**" for **QTY**.
- Click on Submit
Once data is pasted, click **submit**.
- Click on Submit
Aturian will update GL accounts if needed. Click **submit** again.
- Verify Net Total
Verify **net total** matches the vendor invoice.
- Attach Vendor Invoice
Attach **vendor invoice** and **save the invoice**.
- Vendor Consolidated Invoice
Notice the shipping invoice was **consolidated** with subsidiary "**invoices**" differentiated with a "**- #**" for each order.
- Consolidated Invoice
The consolidated invoice will display as "**open**" while the subsidiary invoices will display as "**closed**".
