Hello—
We are in a scenario where we use the same item for two cases:
- Drop-shipping the item to the customer
- Using the item as a component for a Work Order/Assembly Item build.
However, the expense account should be different for each case:
- When drop-shipping the item (from a Sales Order), we want to use our Purchased Finished Goods account
- When using the item as a component for an Assembly Item (from a Work Order), we want to use our Outside Product Purchases account.
Is this possible? Can we control at the transaction level what the expense account will be for an item? We don't want to make two separate items for this—if at all possible. The item is technically the SAME for both scenarios, but for accounting purposes we want to track different expense accounts.
