We have service technicians that setup equipment before the equipment
is sold and delivered to our customer. We need to allocate the
technicians time to COGS (it is currently a Salary and Wage expense).
We currently allocate the technicians time by creating a GL journal
entry that moves their allocated time from the technician's expense
account and moves it to the equipment's COGS account. This is working
for us...however...
We don't like giving access to create journal entries to our
inside staff, so I am looking for another way to do this. I have tried
creating an Item of Item Type "Services" that will default the Inventory
account to the technician's expense account and the COGS account to the
equipment COGS account (this should CREDIT the expense account and
DEBIT the COGS account). However, when I create a sales invoice (at
$0.00 to our internal customer account), it has no cost to pull for the
service technician (even though we have a standard and current cost
internal rate of $65.00/hr setup on the item card).
How could we move the time spent from
expense to COGS without allowing our inside staff to make a journal
entry?
