NRE & Set up charges

I'm looking for a better way to charge customers for NRE's and set-up
charges. Currently we use dummy P/N's, but this gives us grief because these
being "dummy" p/n's, there is nothing to ship, but we get variances in the
stockroom. (Inventory will say that we have parts that aren't there, will
never be there, and have a $ amount.) Is there a proper way to do this?
When we first came up on 4.0 we used the miscellaneous charges for tooling,
setup, etc. Problem was the charges did not show up on the backlog report.
We then created dummy part numbers. I also would be interested in a better
way.
