Misc. Charge Codes do not appear in Allocate Misc. Charges form

[shikarishambu]

Hi,
I have Misc. Charge Codes setup under Accounts Payable > Setup > Misc.
Charges> Misc. Charge Codes. Specifically, I have one called shipping -
Debit: Item , Credit: Customer/Vendor.

However, when I go to Accounts Payable > Inquiries> Journals > Invoice,
select an invoice, click Misc. Charges button > Adjustment, the code does
not show up in the drop down. I did a "Go to the Main table form" and
created a new one. Same story.

I am guessing I am missing some setting that enables use of misc. charge
codes. But, do not know what and where to find it.

Please help. I am on AX 4.0 sp2

thanks

You cannot allocate Item-Vendor misc. charges when allocating misc. charges
on already posted invoice. Item-Vendor misc. charges assume the invoice
amount is corrected. But it is not possible for already posted invoice.

You need to use the following technique.

1. Post vendor invoice in Vendor invoice journal debiting some "bridging"
ledger account.

2. Allocate misc. charges on invoice of type Item-Ledger. Setup bridging
ledger account as ledger account for such a misc. charges code.

Such a way you may allocate misc. charges from one vendor to items, which
were purchased from another vendor. And such a way you may handle misc.
charges in case when invoice for misc. charges (let it be insurance for
example) comes earlier than invoice for items (goods).

And be careful! Vendor invoice should be posted in invoice currency, but
misc. charges should be posted in company currency. In other case you will
face difficulties with exchange adjustments, which you will have to
calculate and correct manually. So always post misc. charges in company
currency. Amount of misc. charges in company currency you may find out in
ledger transaction after you post vendor invoice for misc. charges in Vendor
invoice journal.

I hope I have answered all your questions.
