I am trying to add actual costs (cost type ‘external’) into a work order (to pull through to the GL).  It is allowing me to add external costs and authorize/finish the work order but no GL posting is created - the transaction is set as CSS (Cost of Sold Services), type ‘EAM’.

 

Is there any way to get around this?

Hi,

 

Can you kindly check whether you have following basic data setup ?

Please note that this setup is for external costs that you directly register in Report in work order > Postings tab (and not for purchase related postings)

 

Open Application Base Setup\System Setup\System Definitions – Object property tab.

  • Make sure that property name MANUAL_EXTERNAL = BOOKING (for external postings)
  • Make sure that property name MANUAL_EXPENSE = BOOKING (for expense postings)

 

Now, for new external postings that you will create – a “Transaction ID” will be created. You can see it in the Report in work order > Postings tab.

If you zoom the transaction ID, you can see the debit and credit accountings. Make sure that there are no errors.

(The setup will work for new postings but not for existing ones.)

You can authorize the posting.

And if you execute job Accounting Rules\Voucher\Maintenance Voucher Transfer\Transfer Work Order Externals, vouchers will be created and you can update the vouchers to GL.

 

Best Regards,

Thilini

Thank you :)
