Need to expense part of costs already settle to AUC

My client created an Internal Order. All primary costs have been settled to an AUC in previous periods. Now the Cost Center Manager wants to move a portion of those costs to a G/L expense account rather than capitalize all the costs to a final asset.

Can this be done through a settlement FROM the AUC TO a Cost Center G/L Expense account or does it have to be done by a JE Crediting the order and Debiting the Expense Account? Thank you for any help. Points awarded for the answer.
