We have some items which we can stock ourselves or drop-ship to customers. When these items are drop-shipped, we would like to be able to change the Sales and COGS accounts to our drop shipping accounts. While we can change the sales account on the Sales Order for these items, we cannot find a location to overwrite the COGS account from the Purchase Order side of the process. It seems entirely driven by the Stock Items’ Posting Class, which is set to be the usual accounts as drop ship orders for these items are uncommon.

Is there a way to specify the account of items on a Purchase Order/Receipt like there is on a Sales Order?

We have the same scenario and use separate non-stock items to purchase and sell drop-shipped items. This would allow you to set different accounts as well as keep the transactions out of inventory.
