    Hello,

    During which step do you expect the posting to update the COGS. For Non-Inventory Items the COGS would have to update during the Purchase side since the sale side only records the AR and Revenue (Sales). These are Non-Inventory so the offsetting COGS you get for Inventory Items does not post during the sales posting. On the Purchase posting the offset should go to COGS:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Rana,

    I would setup an Item with a Type = Non-Inventory. You can setup the Unit Cost and Unit Price. Below are my screen shots:

    Now I will create a Drop Shipment Sales Order:
