Hi,

When Manufacturing gets installed, where accounts pull from change. Typically when you post in SOP, the system is designed to look at the item for those COGS accounts.

I helped write a white paper that discusses how GP pulls accounts when MFG is installed (Accounts Used for Manufacturing Dynamics Great Plains). It goes through EVERY module (SOP, POP, IV etc) and splits out if you are Perpetual/Actual costing or Periodic/Standard costing. I just asked our team to get it reposted online because I can't find it out there anymore. For now, below is what GP looks and does depending on the option you select. (customer or item). If you want it to do something else, a customization would be needed.

If the COGS accounts are set up to pull from Item (Tools >Setup > Sales > Sales Order Processing) the system looks at the Item card's 9 buckets and pulls the appropriate COGS account.
If the COGS accounts are set up to pull from the customer (Tools > Setup > Sales >Sales Order Processing) there is only 1 COGS account on the Customer Card and not 9 buckets. The material costs will be pulled into the COGS account on the customer card and the rest of the costs (labor and machine) are put into the remaining 8 buckets from the Item card’s COGS accounts.
