Most of the product we build is very large and the shipping charges to deliver to customer can be in the 10s of thousands of dollars. Because of this the accounting team wants those charges to go directly to the project instead of an expense account. What they have been doing is posting the invoice as a Job Misc Line and adding a job charge. However, this posts the shipping charges to the material account instead of the shipping account. It appears that the GL control code it’s pulling is from the product group and there is no context for shipping. I looked at adding a context but the posting rules for COS and WIP are so complex that I’m not sure I want to get into that. Does anyone else do anything like this and maybe have a suggestion for me? Or, is there someone who has a detailed process on how to add the account context? Any help would be much appreciated.
