We use IFS apps 9 and we have a scenario where we have a DOP-order connected to a project. In the DOP-structure we are manufacturing configured parts that are to be used as material in the final construction. During the production, the manufacturing cost for the configured part belongs to a different accounting group and different cost element which leads to that the cost first enters the project on the element for the configured manufactured part and then the cost is moved to the cost element for the final product when it is used as material on that. The main problem is that the project has cost and revenue estimates on the element of the final product so it’s not ideal due to that the project manager can’t se the real progress in the projekt until it enters the element for the final product.
The problem is also that the manufactured configured parts sometimes is sold as is and we never put configured parts in stock since they have the same PART_NO BUT can be different products depending on the configuration.
Not sure if I described the problem in a good way but we are looking for a solution where the cost for the configured part is present in the project only when it goes in as material in the final product and not before that.
Any suggestions?
