COS question Blank Title 78955

I think you may be finding out what we found out after we went live last year. Each part can only belong to one product group and to one part class. In situations similar to yours we haven't found any option except to journal entry a share from department to department. This meant setting up some dashboards and Excel spreadsheets to calculate percents. If the product group and part class were attached to the plant instead of the part we could eliminate quite a few journal entries.

I am currently working on implementing 8.03.404b at a metal fabricator. We decided to split the shop into two GL departments (one for metal shop, the other for powder coating). The reason for this is to track costs for each department seperately. Most of our product will be manufactured in the metal shop then moved to the powder coat building for paint. This should show a cost for labor, materials, and burden for metal shop and for powder coat. My problem is COS is not hitting the powder coat department in the GL. The costs are going through WIP but not COS. I have tried everything I can think of including:

- creating a product group for powder coat materials and applying it to the raw material itself.
- changing the department for COS under the product group for the finished goods (all this did was post everything to COS under the powder coat department rather than the metal shop).

Does anyone know how to fix this, or something I can change to make it work.

Thank in advance.

The problem is that you are selling the finished product so the COS will
post according to that product group. It is now a combination of metal and
powder coating. When it is going through WIP it is still in the individual
departments, or GL departments, but when the product is finished, it will
become one product, and therefore one COS department. I don't know of any
way that you can split the material portion or labor portion of the finished
goods into it's components.

I am currently working on implementing 8.03.404b at a metal fabricator. We
decided to split the shop into two GL departments (one for metal shop, the
other for powder coating). The reason for this is to track costs for each
department seperately. Most of our product will be manufactured in the metal
shop then moved to the powder coat building for paint. This should show a
cost for labor, materials, and burden for metal shop and for powder coat. My
problem is COS is not hitting the powder coat department in the GL. The
costs are going through WIP but not COS. I have tried everything I can think
of including:

- creating a product group for powder coat materials and applying it to the
raw material itself.
- changing the department for COS under the product group for the finished
goods (all this did was post everything to COS under the powder coat
department rather than the metal shop).

Does anyone know how to fix this, or something I can change to make it work.

Thank in advance.
