Allocations Rules - accumulate costs to a specific cost code?

Right now we have a few allocation rules that are setup to capture cost, every hour, for certain cost codes that get time applied to them from Time Entry.

 

For example… if cost code 00-0010 (cost type Labor) gets entered on time entry for 4 hours - accumulate $400 of cost.

 

The issue is 00-0010 (cost code) E (cost type) is the cost code that automatically gets created for $400.

 

Is there a way we can dictate what cost code those allocation rules accumulate cost towards? Ex: 00-0010 - Cost Code Labor (L) - Cost Type gets selected during time entry, that $400 goes towards 00-2000 Equipment.

Seems silly they wouldn’t allow us to dictate where those costs get tracked?

Allocation rules follow the cost code from the source transaction.  Please vote on adding this functionality to the product.    https://community.acumatica.com/ideas/cost-code-option-for-allocaiton-rules-10068
