Click on the Add button to add a new predefined External charge.
Click on the Accept button to proceed.
You will now have the option to add the External Charges to the GRV.
To add the external charge, you will note that there is an External Charges button on the bottom right of the screen.

Navigate to Processing --> Goods Received Voucher.
Capture the line item from the supplier invoice.
On the bottom right, select the button named Auto Allocation.
The auto allocation option will set the cost based on a weighted average value and apply it to all the items on the GRV.
For a single item, the full external charge amount will be allocated part of the cost to the item.
With more than 1 line item, the system allocated the additional costs accordingly.
If you are happy with the amount captured, select the Accept button.
Note:
Just note that the amount that is captured here is inclusive of VAT.
After the GRV has been processed, an additional page displays the GRV External Charge.
