We have a client that adds freight and tax at the time they are paying the purchase order. Since they are using workflows for approval on their PO's, adding these lines would require the po is processed through the workflow again. There needs to be a way for the Payables team to add freight and tax at the time of payment WITHOUT requiring approval again.

Workflows are designed to listen for conditions. I assume that the current version is listening for PO totals. Is there a way to rework the workflow so that it doesn't listen for item charge lines? This addresses the freight. When it comes to tax, why does the calculation need to wait until after the approval process? Don't most solutions apply the tax at time of entry? If there is a compelling reason to delay the calculation then this means that the sales tax calculation would need to trigger a new line so that it can be added without impacting the approved line. I am trying to better understand the universal application of this function. It seems a bit isolated at this point. Thanks for clarifying for me.
