<@U011WDSQS0M> I think you have to use a different shipping item.  Each shipping item can have the account defined so you can define a COGS account for an item.

Note - just because you tell it to hit COGS doesn't mean it'll show that way on the invoice to your customer.

you'd need an extra line to "credit" the shipping back to the customer

Plus - it would look like a reduction to COGS instead of an increase because I don't think you can do a negative amount in the shipping field

but if you did an "Accrued" shipping COGS account on your shipping item - and you set your credit to hit the COGS account - then that would work instead.

would be less lines than I suggested in the other alternate solution - and you could workflow adding it.

just have to make sure the vendor bill gets coded to accrued shipping cogs when it comes in instead of shipping cogs
