Book Shipping Costs

ERPNext Accounting

Hi! I’ve been reading a lot of topics regarding this but i would just like to check if what i am currently doing is correct.

Upon receiving invoice from Transporter for a particular order, we place a Journal Entry booked under expense (Shipping Charges) to issue out full payment. Then we create a Landed Cost Voucher entry to update valuation of the received goods for that particular order.

I would like to know if doing this would cause double entries in GL? And if there is a better way to process this?

This approach is fine.

Landed Cost Voucher only updates the valuation of an item. It does posting in the Expense Included in the Valuation account, but that’s a negative posting which gets nullified against COGS in future, when item is delivered. Hence, the only expense booked is one via JV.
