Field Services. Accounting for but not charging the Customer for additional products?

Question

Say that the customer has agreed to 10ft of ASB piping and we end up using 12ft but will absorb the 2ft ourselves and not charge it on.  We do want to track cogs properly and see the additional 2ft reduced from margin so that we see the true cost.
