That’s essentially what we do, we have a customer who is ZzOurCompany R&D we have a product group which is R&D. Sales orders are raised on the R&D customer for new trial products these lines are allocated the R&D product group that group has a GL control which directs the expense in the GL to R&D.
As our trial items are often shipped to real customers for testing this allows us to track using the Shipto on who got what when and follow up how they went. As the demand is linked to the R&D customer it’s easily spotted by the scheduler who if need be can push those jobs back to fulfil other urgent demands.
