Jobs-overhead recovery-WIP acc not to allow direct entry

Good morning Folks

Any help on this query below would be appreciated please.

I would like to book an overhead cost onto the Job where I want to credit an Inc Stat recovery account and debit my Bal Sheet WIP account. The WIP account does not allow direct posting. This entry must post through to the GL.

I have experimented with a Job Journal, but that does not post through to the GL. Only if I allow direct posting to the WIP account could I use it in a Job G/L journal but we cannot allow direct posting to this control account and so that is not an option for me.

We are using the Job module to store costs for the Jobs and we will not be closing them out at any stage - it is just used to accumulate costs. That means that any of the normal WIP closing tasks will not be used.

When doing a PO, I have defined a non-inventory item which has a specific Gen Prod Post Group assigned to it and in that way, I can achieve having a cost off a PO debit the WIP account without needing the WIP account to allow direct posting. I've tried to use that same logic to resolve my issue, but a Job G/L journal does not allow for the issuing of an Item.

If anyone has ideas on how to resolve my issue, I would appreciate your input.

Thank you
