We would like to be able to assign shop order labor to expense and not to the balance sheet.

 

Example. Shop order has two components – a part and 2 hr of labor:

Material $100

Labor $20

The goal is to have $100 in Finished Goods (balance sheet) when the shop order is complete and $20 on a P&L account.

With the current setup, the labor cost rolls into inventory cost, which results in the total of $120 going into inventory.

Since we are not sure what makes up the current set up - we don’t know what needs to be changed in IFS. Any ideas on set up/configuration that needs to be done to accomplish our example?

mrsweeney,

Have you checked the posting rules?

I think that you could check:

  • M42 Value Added, Labor Cost
  • M58 Labor Overhead
  • M209 Cost of indirect Labor

There are others that are Labor related.

See if one of them, or more, have the same account number as the inventory account.

I'm not a financial consultant. This is free advice to check. Any results can't be used against me :grin:

If the doesn't do the trick it might be an option to look for setting up a Automatic Reposting Rule. This can be triggerd based on a posting type and a specifc account. This levels out a specific posting and reposts it using this rule.
