Need Help: Assigning Different COGS to Same Item for Construction vs Repair
Hi everyone, has anyone faced a situation where different COGS accounts need to be assigned to the same inventory item based on different business types within the same subsidiary? Looking for advice or alternative solutions.
Scenario:
We’re using the same inventory item across both our Construction and Repair businesses, operating under the same subsidiary. However, each business type requires different accounting treatment for item fulfillment.
Background:
- For Construction, we’re using Item Fulfillment (instead of Work Order Issuance) to issue inventory, as Work Order Issuance only allows one cost code per issue, which doesn’t meet our need to split costs across multiple codes.
