I am reveiwing job costing on an item and noticed that an extra cost needs to be added in order to get the actual cost correct.  
 
We had an outside company do some manual labor for us for a one time charge.  I did not issue a PO for this.  I entered it as a payable voucher so there was not a PO to connect to the WO.  I am looking at WO-H Enter misc/extra costs (DBA Classic)as a way record this cost.  I've never used this before and after reading help, it says that I can pick what GL account I want to associate this with (which one I not sure) and DBA will then create a debit in the WIP account.  Well if it does that then I will have this figure sitting in WIP that will never move to the COGS account.  The WO has been closed and the item has been invoiced out. So if I do this then I quess I'll have to make another GL entry to move it from WIP to COGS.  Am I reasoning that correctly? Does anyone else use this option for recording job cost?  

I may be wrong but I think if you change the work order from C (closed) to R (released) and then add extra costs, then close the work order in WO-J, it recalculates actual costs, and the added extra cost will be posted to the wip variance account.  YOu can then do a JE to move from wip variance to COGS (we do this every month end to put costs collected after the WO is finished into COGS).
