When I make a non-inventory (custom) item, I know what costs I incurred to make it (labor, materials and allocation of overhead) and I can simply put that number into the 'cost' field of the order for the NI Item.
While that accurately captures the item costs and will reflect the GP properly (Sales - CoGS), my raw material inventory account will be out because I used material which I stock to make a custom item that I don't stock.
I can do an adjustment to capture the material cost, and offset it into the 'custom item CoGS' account, but I can't adjust my labour and overhead items, as they're not 'sales inventory' items, and the labour and overhead absorption accounts will be off for the same reasons.
The only other option that I can see is to create inventory records for every (non-)inventory product that we make, even in the case where we make and sell it once, and then we're done.
Is there a better way?
