Multiple COGS for one item

Sounds like these are made to customer order, if so then the cost is Cost of Sales and not Cost of Goods Sold. COGS is directly related to the cost of the items you stock for sale when you file income taxes so it is best not to get them mixed up.

Create a COGS type account named cost of sales in the chart of accounts and use that for the purchase of each included part.

But no, one item one account is the way it works

Thank you for responding.

Yes, some items are made for custom orders and some we stock as inventory in our showroom.  

I would assume the main feature and benefit to using QB Enterprise Manufacturing is being able to use multiple costs assigned to items manufactured.  We outsource the manufacturing so we receive 3-4 bills per item from vendors used to make that item.
