The scenario is like this. I have a item A, in general when I sell it to my customer, I will post the COGS main account as 511101. However, sometime I will sell the item A to the same customer with very low price as a sample. In this situation, I would like to post the COGS main account as 611703.
In current F&O, the COSG main count is controlled by item and customer, is it possible to customize the posting rule to post the COGS main account by different transaction situtaion?
We ran into a very similar case with one of our customers, so I get what you mean. Out of the box, F&O doesn’t really let you say “normal sale → COGS 511101, sample sale → COGS 611703.” It’s tied to item/customer setup.
What worked for us was a light customization, adding logic that checked if the transaction was flagged as a “sample” and then diverted posting to the other COGS account. Not too heavy, but effective. Another option could be using a different item model group or financial dimension, though customization gave cleaner control in our case.
It worked well for that customer, but might or might not fit your setup. Worth a shot though.
