Calculating discounts on total PO and not excluding unplanned cost

Question

Hi friends,
when User does MIRO they enter unplanned frieght cost in the gl account tab.
Lets say P.O. is 500 freight is 100 total miro document will be $ 600 .
Now when we pay to the vendor it calculates discount on the total amount[600] and not excluding Freight.
We did check the "Indicator: Line item not liable to cash discount?" and even though its calculating on the total amount.
Is there anything else we are missing?
Please advise

Hi Sina
in addition what Anthony has said, you either have planned costs or unplanned costs:
for example: If you put freight costs in the PO item when you create the PO then you have planned delivery costs, and those will be accounted when you carry GR on a clearing account which is cleared on invoice receipt.
in the case you don't mention the costs at PO creation, then you put the costs in the details tab, in the appropriate field Unplanned costs.
Depending on how you have setup in customizing how this cost is managed, they either distribute proportionally between the invoice items( and will be put on a stock account in case of moving average price, or on a price difference account in case of a standard price), or they are put on a seperate GL account).
