For the Freight Invoice the distribution of amount happens on the Items in the Cost Distribution (Internal items) and not on the External Items which is present in the Item List.

The reason why this is done is that the cost can be distributed to more than one Invoicesin this case and accordingly the amount gets adjusted. For an External item there can be more than one Internal items. Hence the references of the Purchase Order will be stored at the internal item level.

The report Monitoring Invoices report shows information based on the Item ID (External Item) which contains the actual amount of the Purchase Order to be Invoiced.
The internal items mainly the Cost Distribution which has happened among several goods, returns that are done against that PO item. It mainly contains the reference amounts.
