How can a standalone invoice post to gl with inventory items without cogs or assets account?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, a standalone invoice with inventory items will typically post to the General Ledger (GL) with a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) or Assets account. However, if you want to post an invoice without a COGS or Assets account, you might need to consider using a different type of item, such as a non-inventory or service item. Inventory items in NetSuite are typically associated with three types of accounts: Income, COGS, and Asset. When you sell an inventory item, the system will debit the COGS account and credit the Income account. When you purchase an inventory item, the system will debit the Asset account and credit the Accounts Payable (AP) account. If you want to impact an expense account instead of an asset account when entering a vendor bill with an inventory item, you might need to use a non-inventory or service item. These types of items allow you to specify an expense account that will be impacted when the item is used on a transaction. Also, it's important to note that the "Can be Received/Fulfilled" setting on the item record can affect the GL impact. If this setting is unchecked, or if the item is fulfilled without location quantity on hand or without location inventory value, there might be no GL impact. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
