Added/Separate Project Costs

It would be helpful to have a few categories for project costs added to System Integrator.

First, we would like to have a place to put project subcontracts. These are not labor or materials. We can currently 'trick' the system, by adding subcontacts as either labor or materials. But, it does throw off budgets as accounting tracks subcontracts separately - they are not products we are buying, and they are not hours that our labor force is using.

Second, is equipment fees. If we have internal equipment - i.e. testers - that have to be charged to a job, there's no place to put that estimated cost. These aren't material purchases for which we have to issue PO's and they are tracked on different budgets. They also aren't labor items - tech labor is tracked separately.

Thirdly, freight. When we issue PO's, there is no place to put freight. Right now, we have to create a temporary or generic item called 'freight'. And the quantity of these freight items must be equal to the number of PO's we have to issue - one for every PO - for each manufacturer. BUT, if we issue PO's as "Summarized", those freight line items merge into one row as if we are buying all the freight on one PO. If someone has a better and more detailed description of their work around, please let me know! Either way, it would be better if it were a cost item in the actual PO that can be modified.
