[GNC] Another "multi-account" logical issue - any advice on how to register this?

As I have been doing books for 501(c)3 organizations, an issue (printing 
and postage is a line item on the 990/990-EZ)

In traditional double entry bookkeeping there can be only one CoA 
hierarchy.

You would need to divide "shipping" into two child accounts <<one for 
postage; the other for non-postage shipping expenses>>. You would of 
course have a bunch of "postage" children scattered among expense 
accounts. You could produce a report containing just these (and their 
total) using an "Statement of Revenues and Expenses Report" (what a 
non-profit calls "Profit and Loss") by including Just these accounts for 
postage).
