how do I get labor to show up as an item in netsuite where it decreases a cogs account

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get labor to show up as an item in NetSuite where it decreases a COGS account, you would need to create a non-inventory item for labor. Here are the steps: 1. Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Items > New. 2. Select Non-Inventory Item for Sale/Resale. 3. Fill in the necessary fields such as Item Name/Number, Display Name, Description, etc. 4. In the Accounting section, select the appropriate COGS account that you want to decrease when this labor item is used. 5. In the Sales/Pricing section, you can set the rate for the labor. 6. Save the item. Now, when you use this labor item in a transaction, it will decrease the selected COGS account. As for applying overhead within assemblies, NetSuite does not automatically apply overhead. You would need to create a separate overhead item and include it in your assembly builds. This overhead item would also be a non-inventory item and you can set it to affect the appropriate overhead account. Please note that this is a general approach and might need to be adjusted based on your specific business processes and NetSuite setup. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
