Calculating Prorated Additional Costs
You can prorate additional costs to items on a receipt either automatically or manually. For documents created in version 5.3A and earlier multicurrency ledgers, you can manually prorate costs only if they are in functional currency.
If you prorate automatically, the extra cost amounts do not appear as part of the item detail costs in the Receipt Entry form, although they are reported on the posting journal for each transaction.
