Changing COGS accounts in marketing documents

[Former Member]

We intend to report P&L information by employee. Our account structure is 4150-01-018. 018 represents the employee. This will require that we change the revenue and cogs account on the fly based upon the sales person. I know how to change the revenue account using a formatted search, but I can't figure out how to change the cogs account.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

Hi Sylak,

This can not be done in B1 in general.

There are workaround - as you know cogs account is posted by wharehouse/item group/item level. Create a structure here that fits the your dimension needs.

It all depends on your needs but you can also update the journal entry account directly - but this is not supported by SAP so it is not recommended.

Hope it helps,

regards,

Geir

Hi Tom

This can be done without development. You can use profit centers or projects. Evey documemnt can be logged against a project or profit centre. Go to your form settings and display them, must create the required profit centres or projects. This works great!

Hope this helps
