All,

I am working with a client that needs a second overhead rate on the labor class that is based per hour.  I know I can define additional labor overhead cost elements but they are only allowed to be based by unit produced or as a percentage of labor.

Has anyone figured out a way to get the second labor overhead rate to be per hour?  No, I do not want to do a calculation to figure out a rate per piece based on the standard labor hour of the item as that does not account for variations in actual hours during production. Nor is it a percentage of the total labor .

Thanks!!!

@Vernon Anderson would the functionality provided by Layered Labor Overheads that was introduced in 21R1 get you what you need? Make a new cost bucket that uses a different posting cost group?

Matt,  what basic data do I need for this to work?  It asks for a cost bucket that contains a 230 element.

Pared-down slide deck attached. Basics are:

  1. Define a new OH Cost Element using a factor connected to Source Element 230.
  2. Using the drop down arrow add this new cost bucket to the Cost Set(s) in the Labor Class , defining how you want this to be evaluated: 1) Multiply with Evaluation Cost, 2) Add Cost per Hour, or 3) Multiply with LC Rate.
  3. Configure the Site settings of Actual Labor Cost Settings for Direct Labor and Labor OH.

Step 3 is what I was missing!

That did it for my site that allows time entry by employee.  Gonna try it in a site that is anonymous
