Re: Manufacturing Order misc. charges

Rich

I'm not certain about creating a misc. charge from the PO from a batch. You
can identify the Item as a charge type during the PO creation.

Misc. Charge: This assumes the item was setup during the MO creation
process. (which is then the "std" cost)
Misc. Charge Force Add: this will add the item to the MO during the AP
invoice process.
Outside Process: You will need to note as well the operation sequence
number.

If there is a difference between the PO and the actual invoice, this is a
purchase price variance and not a material or labor variance within the MO.

As for the accounting: Use the GL Interface rules to properly account for
both purchase price difference from std. (assuming the Mo is created with
the misc. charge pre-defined) and the purchase price difference from invoice
(if different from the standard or if there is no standard and you use the
force add version of the misc. charge.)

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Manufacturing Order misc. charges

Has anyone created a process to add misc. charges from a Purchase Order
to a Manufacturing Order at the time the P.O. item is received, such as
creating a batch similar to the current function that happens at invoice
time? This would in effect "accrue" the value onto the M.O. at P.O.
price.



Now the bigger question. If anyone has done this, how do you handle the
process when the A/P invoice is posted? Create a variance transaction
out of the current MCAP to post additional value if the invoice price is
different from the P.O. price, leaving zero if the same? Just reverse
the accrual in the G/L account and depend on the A/P entry person to
record a variance to a different account, (adding a charge line in IFM)?



We are at release 7 with IFM installed.
