How do I make inventory item default to customer GL code?

I have kind of a unique situation (I think).

I use different GL codes for my various types of customers.  For example, a Dealer is 4000, a Distributor is 4010, and a Designer is 4015.  I sell the same products to these 3 customer types at different prices.  However, when I type in an inventory item, the default GL code that appears on the Sales Order and Invoice screen is the GL code for the inventory item and NOT for the customer type.

Is there a way to make the GL code inventory item centric instead of customer centric?  Or will I need to create new inventory items for EACH customer type that I have?

    Inventory items gl accounts always override customers gl accounts. If you are selling stock or assemblies items I would not advise you to add multiple items for the same item because you will constantly need to make inventory adjustments for quantities you sold but did not have for that particular item. You would not have the issue selling non stock items but then you would not ever know your quantities on hand, etc etc. 

    when invoicing just change the gl account to the correct one. To display the gl accounts on the SO screen go to options on the top menu bar, under the accounts tab uncheck hide gl accounts for Account Receivable.
