Vendor Early Pay Discount - Shipping Charge excluded

We have a vendor that is set up on 3% 30 Net 60 Days terms.  They have recently added a temporary shipping surcharge that is excluded from the 3% discount.  How can we set this up in QB Enterprise?  Is there a way to exclude a line item like shipping from the discount, when you "set discount" when paying a vendor?

 

For example, we have an invoice with $100 in COGS and a $10 Shipping Surcharge.  The total invoice is $110, before the discount.  When we pay the invoice and "set discount" at payment, we need QuickBooks to calculate a 3% discount on the COGS of $3, meaning $97 is due, but not calculate the discount on the shipping surcharge of $10.  The total paid on the check should be $97 + $10 = $107.

 

Any suggestions?

There isn't a way to exclude part of the bill from the discount calculation.

Thanks for your reply.   Given all of the current supply chain issues in the world, more and more suppliers are adding shipping/freight surcharges.  Many vendors don't let you take an early payment discount on shipping charges.  How are others handling this issue?  (Given our order volume, we normally qualify for free shipping, but there is no way around this surcharge.)

I guess manually calculate the discount and then override the default calculation.
