Is there anyway to allow a Misc. item to post to GL at Receipt of Goods?

Question

Scenario: Misc. Items are being used for custom purchases made to vendors that will be for a specific customer. The PO is generated from the SO. When the goods are received, they want to hit a Non-Inventory GL account for the actual cost on the PO. When the item is sold on the SO, then the Non-inventory account will be cleared and it will post to COGS. The postings will mimic an inventory item. We can't use an inventory item b/c we need to edit the cost on the SO to match the PO cost. Every "custom item" will have a unique cost. 
 Any suggestions? Thanks!

Short answer - "Not that I've ever seen." 
 That said, if I understand the post, you could set up a new Product Line and use the "Non-inventory" account for the "Inventory" and set the item up with a lot or serial valuation (use lot valuation if you order quantities ~ Misc item; serial if you order just one of each ~ Misc. charge). Lot and serial items will make "the cost on the SO to match the PO cost" without edit. The lot or serial items will need to be distributed, but that process should be no more cumbersome than tracking and editing each custom item's unique cost. One further suggestion would be to identify the lines for the vendor to make the tracking process easier at ROGE/ROIE. By the way, how do they edit the cost and where do the differences between the SO and PO costs go? 
 On the other hand, if the issue is the purchase variance between the ROGE and ROIE you could just wait for the invoice (you don't do an ROGE for Misc items anyway) and avoid the variance.
