****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** In NetSuite, if you want to use the lot cost instead of the average cost in a work order, you should set the costing method to "Lot Numbered". This will allow each lot to have a specific cost. When you receive items in different lots, NetSuite initially uses the average cost. However, the costing engine updates this later to reflect the specific cost of each lot. You may need to wait for the costing engine to run to see the updated costs. Please note that using lot numbered items can complicate some processes, such as invoicing. For example, you may need to create an invoice directly from the sales order. If you want to align cost and COGS, using lot or serialized items is the best way. Alternatively, you could use the FIFO costing method. While it won't be an exact match for Cost to COGS, it will get you closer. Remember, changing the costing method can have significant impacts on your accounting and inventory management processes, so it's important to consider all the implications before making a decision.
