Applied Labor (Labor Absorbed) and Job Cost Adjustment

Can anyone clear up for me the flow of money through Epicor’s Ledgers as applied when using a Job Cost Adjustment.

When using a Job Cost Adjustment, we see that Labor gets credited to the GL Applied Labor, and Materials added through Job Cost Adjustment get credited to the Inventory Adjustment Ledger.

Being these were added to through Job Cost Adjustment how does adjustment ever get consumed in the P/L Reports? These continue to show up as unrealized for us even after job closing. Does a Journal Entry need to be made as the offset of the contra?

Sorry, this is probably a simple thing that I just missed. TIA!

I’m a bit fuzzy on this, but it’s December 24, so I figure I should chime in since there are literally 6 people online right now on this site…

So, you are reminding me of an expired Idea I made from 2020:

But to your question:

What are you saying, that the costs are not being released from WIP? You should see MFG-VAR for that if the job is closed and the month/date has been captured.

This has hit a snag for us if the WIP Cleared box is checked, for example. Let me know if I need to explain that one.

Also, you are familiar with the tech ref, right?

Thank you and thank you for your detailed response. I’m just looking through all of this now. I’m going to look at the WIP report better to see over the next day, exactly what’s happening.
