We have two separate freight accounts. If we deliver the order and charge the customer we code that to freight sales. If we hire LTL and charge the customer a portion of the freight, that amount goes against the expense account for freight. But I can only bill one way or the other without going into set up and changing it there each time. I currently have to use a Miscellaneous Code (/F) and enter the freight amount there. However, that then shows up on the Gross Profit Reports.

Same for discounts. Some customers get a pickup allowance which is coded to Returns and Allowances. If I put the discount on the invoice, it is coded to the same GL account as the timely payments discounts, which we code under Trade Sales Discounts, so we can track them separately.
