Anybody else experience this?
 
DBA :  A brand new PO is beting entered. AWO# in the PO line.   Because they are on DBA they cant add a GL account.  When you go into evo you will  not see the GL account that came from the item class because the GL account was perverted by the addition of the WO#.   i.e.  The GL account is no longer what was on the item class but changes to my WIP Inventory account.
 
EVO: A purchase order line has a GL account but not a WorkOrder number.    
We come back later and add a wo# and save the po and then go back into the Purchase Order to find that the GL is perverted (changed to my WIP Inventory account)
For some unknown reason adding a WO# after the fact perverts an existing GL account.    
I have discovered that if you are in EVO, after you add the WO# you can go backwards and "re-go-thru" the GL Account and that somehow keeps the GL account from getting perverted.
 
Any and all ideas appreciated.

So how will the proper GL account eventually get credited?   How and When?
 

SM-C ... Could I just put the same expense account that I have on line 1 of column 1 in the WIP field?  
 
f i go to SM-C  I have the inventory/asset/expense account field filled in with a real GL account number.   No other fields are filled out in the first column, only the first line of the first column.  Nor do I ever touch the 2nd column of default accounts
 
I receive in a po  (whether it be for supplies or bought for a job).  We don't differentiate  
I expect the GL account from the PO line to go the GL-O.     I want it to be the expense account.  I do not want it to be a WIP account.  We don't use WIP.     Could I just put the same expense acount on line 1 of column 1 in the WIP field?    Maybe there is an extra step that the folks who use WIP do that i do not do that removes the WIP and puts back the expense account before it gets to the GL?
 
Sorry to be such a pain.
Thanks

Once you finish production on the WO what you should see is credit to WIP and a Debit to Finished Goods Inventory.

If you have that setting set to N then no GL transactions to and from WIP will happen.  
 
"Post WO transactions?
 
If this flag is set to Y, then all transactions in and out of WIP will create GL Transactions.  Materials Issued to Work Orders will debit WIP and credit Inventory.  Labor charged to Work Orders will debit WIP and credit the Absorbed Labor and Overhead accounts.  Finished Production will credit WIP and debit inventory and any variance posting will post between WIP and WIP Variance with the debit or credit determined by whether the variance is positive or negative."
