Item Cost Redirection

We have a handful of items that need to be setup to always go to the same Accounting Unit and Account any time they are issued/ordered. We were told there is no way to redirect cost of a specific item. Does anyone have any recommendations of how we can workaround this so the item always hits the GL at the correct account?

Example: SODIUM CHLROIDE 3000ML always needs to expense to Pharmacy - Cost of Drugs Sold.

We have a handful of items that are setup that way on the contract. The other side to that is we have to give all of our requesters access to that Accounting Unit.

Another thing we do is have separate Requesting Locations for many departments and then on RQ01, the Accounting Unit is set to the department that we want all of those items to be charged to. An example is for our Omnicells. All items for Omnicells are charged to Supply Chain instead of the unit they are for. They are also all chargeable, so they are built with that Account in IC11.

We do this with our copy paper. You can use a GL category on IC12 if RQ01 is not populated with AU and ACCT for the location being issued to. We set up an IC81 par location for every dept so that the accounts default correctly.

We also have a few items like this. For most of our items the attached gl category has the Issues account filled, but the issue account unit is blank so the ordering dept gets charged. But for these few items, we have specific gl categories setup with the Issues account and account unit filled. Along with this, the IC02 setting "use gl category issue accounting unit as default" needs to be set to Yes. Note, if you need to setup a new gl category without the Issues account unit filled, you will temporarily need to change the IC02 setting to No and then change it back.

Same as Stephanie - we have to create a separate GL category to bring inventory in at one and issue out at another.

For Non-Stocked items, how do you handle redirection on that since there isn't a GL category assigned?

If they are non-stock, it is only one transaction. Where would the second GL come into play?

Add the item to a contract and assign the AU-ACCT-SubACCT at the contract line level. Set you Accounting Unit default to pull from the Agreement line before the Req Location and that should drive the combination for whoever orders the item.

You will have to add the AU to any requester that orders the item so they add it.
