SOLUTION
If you want to recognize revenue on freight and calculate taxes against it, then you need to set up freight as an inventory
item. Additionally, there are profile options and system parameters you need to set up, please check Section 1 below. If you
set up Freight as an Inventory item, then multiple freight lines will be at the invoice line level rather than a single freight at the
header level.
If you just want a simple freight charge for additional services such as shipping and handling or courier fees, without
recognizing any revenue against the freight amount or calculating taxes against it, then you do not need to setup freight as an
inventory item.

The most important thing to review when encountering issues regarding Freight is to review your setup. Typical issues are:
If you need to associate a freight charge to a transaction, ensure that your setup for the Transaction Type allows freight.
By default, Receivables does not calculate tax on freight charges. If you need to calculate tax on freight, you must set up
freight as an inventory item.
