Any ideas on how to handle a donation via a sales order using revenue items?
k
you want to sell a donation? trying to understand the use case

We are trying to donate saleable goods via a sales order @Karina

@Castor - is there any value to them or you are putting them at $0? If the latter then you can create two lines - one for the value and another - for credit of this value, say, $100 and ($100). The order should go through with two lines like that. If you use inventory the second line should be just a non-inv/other charges item

The gl impact will still need a cogs effect and it will still affect the revenue line so I don't think this is the path.

if you release your inventory via sales order it hits cogs 😞
you can play with what you want posted, but this is the only way to get stuff on SO, so you have to figure out the path that works for you accounting wise

Do you want to post it to a different expense account and not COGS? We were told we could do this: 1. custom GL plugin to add custom lines to GL that debit donation expense (or whatever your GL is) and credit COGS 2. Script that automatically reclassifies the COGS to the correct expense account 3. Use allocation schedule to automatically reclassify the COGS to the correct expense account
