Posted Sales Invoice direct cost with multiple items in GL entries

Just checking if this is normal.

In our old system the direct cost is the sum of all the cost of all items.

ITEM A  COST 50

ITEM B COST 20

ITEM C COST 30

So in the GL entries the cost will only be a total of 100.

In contrast, in our new system BC for a posted sales invoice, under ledger entries, find entries, and gl entries.

The cost is broken down to correspond to each line item.

Cost 50, Cost 20, Cost 30. 

So I take it this is by design.  This cannot be changed to a total cost of all items instead, right?

I have the same question (0)

    Do the separate lines have different dimensions? That would cause them to remain separate as each line will have a different Dimension Set ID.

    This is so the values can be reported by dimension.

    Worth checking this setting too. Results in more detail in the GL entries:

    The dimensions for each line are the same.

    Costing Method can also have an impact on the entries. I believe that this is by design to that the details for the Value Entries match to General Ledger Entries which makes research and analysis much, much easier.
