Dynamics 365 Freight Reconciliation Configuration
Short answer
Configure the Audit master (freight bill type) for automatic matching rules and the Reconciliation reason to specify the ledger account for posting differences.
Question
A distribution company is implementing freight reconciliation in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
The accounting manager requires that any freight invoices that cannot be automatically matched must post the difference to a specific ledger account.
You need to set up the freight reconciliation.
What should you configure? To answer, move the appropriate configurations to the correct requirements. You may use each configuration once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to move the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Key Takeaways
This question tests the specific setup for handling variance posting in transportation management, where the common trap is confusing the matching rules with the ledger account assignment.
Learn how to configure freight reconciliation in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management by mapping audit masters and reconciliation reasons to handle unmatched invoices.
Common mistake: Learners often mistakenly try to configure the ledger account directly on the freight bill type or confuse the 'Reconciliation reason' with the general journal configuration.
Expert Analysis
Why the Answer Is Correct
The correct configuration requires linking an Audit master (specifically the freight bill type) to control the automatic matching logic, and a Reconciliation reason to define the specific ledger accounts used for posting differences. This ensures that any freight invoice not automatically matched posts the variance correctly.
Why Other Candidate Answers Are Wrong
Other potential configurations like standard payment terms or warehouse location setups do not address the specific requirement for handling unreconciled freight variances in the General Ledger.
Community Comment Notes
Community consensus supports using Audit master and Reconciliation reason. As one commenter noted, "Audit master and freight bill type control how automatic freight reconciliation works... Reconciliation reason holds the debit/credit accounts used to post the variance." Another user confirmed this via Microsoft Learn documentation.

CCexamn 👍 1Automatic reconciliation → Audit master and freight bill type Define ledger account → Reconciliation reason Why: - Audit master and freight bill type control how automatic freight reconciliation works, including matching rules and tolerance handling. Microsoft Learn - Reconciliation reason holds the debit/credit accounts used to post the variance when the freight invoice and freight bill do not match. Microsoft explicitly states that reconciliation reasons determine the accounts used for discrepancies.
