Dear Team,

Good day to All,

Could anyone please advise how to account freight charges shown in the Sales Invoice generated by my firm.

Example: Sale of FG 100
freight 05
Total 105

Can I consider Total sales value as 105 or should I take 5 (freight charges) into COGS.

Please advise and do the needful.

Thanks and regards,
V B Vijay Kumar
