In our legacy system before we migrated to Acumatica, we could tack warranty expenses relating to a specific production order. I have not found anyway to do this in Acumatica. Currently, we expense any warranty cost to a GL so we can keep track of overall warranty expenses. But, it would be nice to be able to attribute a warranty expense to a production order in some manner other than noting the Production Number or SN in the description or the expense transaction.
Has anyone had the same thoughts or found a solution/ISV to solve this problem?

Here is a possible solution plan which would allow you to record warranty cost without customizations and would result in draft GL entries for accounting review.
Step 1
Record Warranty Expenses using one of the two options below:
Use a production order attribute to log this information.
Wait for the User Defined Fields feature to exist for manufacturing edition as mentioned by @angierowley75 in the post below. (be sure to read the comments, the idea was rejected however the important UDF element remains)
