looking for a simple solution to add the cost of outside services to an MO - do not want to get into full outsourcing at this time.
I was thinking of adding an inventory item to the BOM for this service to get the cost into the job.
Is there a better way?

I have the same question (0)Use a Service Charge item type. If you are printing your own Picking Ticket through a report writer you can leave these items off the Manufacturing paperwork going to the floor. But the cost will be absorbed into the work. Make sure to put the item on the BOM and backflush it.
You can also credit a specific expense account, absorbing the dollars into the job. Then expense the invoices from the outside vendor to that same account or a companion account.
