Help with Terms Discounts when Freight included in Line Items

Question

I have a unusual situation and I wondered if anyone has any ideas of how to perhaps help with it.
This is client who is getting his system step intially and we are trying to figure out how to best deal with this issue.
There is a vendor that has term such as: 2% 10, NET 30 (2% discount if paid in 10 days, Net 30 total)
They create a purchase order for 1 item with cost of $95 and $5 freight
When the goods receipt comes in they want to receive it for $100 and $0 freight (they want freight cost to be part of the line item to affect their inventory costs.
When they invoice it, they want the line item to remain at $100 (they don't want inventory costs to change for invoice different then goods receipt). However, when they pay the invoice within terms, they need the 2% discount to only apply to the $95 that was actual product, not the $5 that was freight cost. (they don't want to invoice it as $95 and $5 freight since they want item to remain in inventory at the $100 price).
How can this be done?

Answer 1

It appears that the situation is a little different than presented.
For some vendors (and not all of them)
An order is created and the items are invoiced as follows (this is just example):
Vendor Terms: 1% 10 NET 30
Line Item 1: Item XXXX for Quantity 100 @ $10 each
Line Item 2: Item YYYY for Quantity 100 @ $10 each
Line Item 3: Item ZZZZ for Quantity 100 @ $10 each
Invoice total $3000.
There is then a note at the bottom of the invoice: Freight $100, Discount 1% 10 on $2900 = $29
Basically the vendor is including the freight amounts within each line item's price and then giving summary of the freight amount at bottom since they only allow discount on the goods, not the freight amount.
Is there a way to handle this through the system? This is SAP 8.8, Patch 14 with hot fix.
