We have set up a work order to collect time associated with machine programming. The work order status is "I" for indirect, the part number "MACHINE PROGRAM" is tied to a specific CLASS that charges a GL account for Machine programming (under cost of goods sold on income stmt).  
 
We do not want this time being assessed to Work in Process.  
However, when time is entered via batch labor, the WIP GL account is still being charged for this time.
Is it the sequence, routing or something else that would cause this to happen?
 
Can anyone else explain how they set up similar work orders, PLEASE?
Thank you!

Anne & I thank you!  
 
You are absolutely correct, as I overlooked that puppy (WIP default) when establishing the item class.
