_RE: COGS for Non-Inventory Items:_ NetSuite does not appear to provide the option of assigning COGS as an Expense account in the Item setup for non-inventory items, for instance, a Non-Inventory Item for Resale. What do companies normally do to assign a COGS account to such an item?

We do this all the time - maybe toggle to all selectable account types in the dropdown?

There's an accouting preference "expand accounting lists"

in theory it is discouraged to use it - however, I don't think I've ever seen a client who didn't have to turn it on for *some* reason

So it worked in my demo account, but in the client's account, they don't have the chevrons to expand the list. Is that a setting that has to be engaged?

I think I found it in Accounting Preferences &gt; General. There's a checkbox for expanding accounting lists.

The chevrons thing is dicated by the number of results.

in comparison to your "number of lists in drop down" preference

Thanks, Kevin. I should have read your comment more carefully. We've got it now.
