Hi Bryant,

Very great post! but i’m facing a related issue.

The sales order with a service item (no inventory) needs to be cancelled.. we can’t do a RMA on this.. so I try to cancel.. but the order status is already clsoed..so I can’t cancel it either..

is there any other way to cancel this kind of Sales Order? Thanks

Naveen,

In order to hit COGS upon ship confirmation, the item needs to be transactable = YES. Unfortunately, there’s no way to virtually ship an item and hit COGS.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Bryan
I did a similar test case and made the item as non inventory,non stockable and non transactable.However upon ship confirm is not htting the COGS account.I am wondering if it needs to be transactable.

I have a problem here.
We are getting the services of a freight forwarder to get our goods delivered directly to our customer site.
Example: We agree with the freight forwarder for $10 and we take a margin of $2 and hence invoice our customers with $12. Our requirement is to capture this in the system so that we can analyse the margin we make.

If I try the service as a non-inventory item, then how can I capture the actual cost incurred ?

Please let me know is there any way to solve this.

Thanks,
Suresh

To my knowledge, since the COGS workflow is initiated from the inventory deduction in the Inventory module, there is no way to transact COGS on an item w/o transacting inventory. If you want to generate cost account on non-trasactable items, you’ll need a WF mod on the order line.

We also would like this item to hit COGS. Anyone figure out a way of doing this?

I want to avoid the shipment of a sales order having a wrong item.
THe sales order is already staged. Can be backordered but that will affect the inventory of this item. which should not happen. Please suggest
