Larry,
Did you do a cost roll-up on the full assembly prior to starting the job? Related to Manasa’s question, we run on standard cost. If we don’t do that cost roll-up, WIP cannot be properly relieved at the time of job receipt.

Subject: [Vantage] Job Costing error Vantage 803.405
We have been having a serious problem with job costing.
These are the step that I took to recreated the problem.
I created four parts “ATopâ€, “ASubâ€, “ACheap†and “AExpensiveâ€
Adjusted the inventory with 100 “ACheap†and 100 “AExpensiveâ€
Adjusted the cost to “ACheap†=$0.05 and “AExpensive†= $1,000.00 Total inventory value of $100,005.00
I then engineered and Approve “ATop†and “ASubâ€
“ASub†consisted of 1 operation and 1 “AExpensive†part
“ATop†consisted of 1 operation, one sub assembly “ASub†and one material “ACheapâ€
The problem starts with the following procedures
I then Create a job for “ATop†for a Qty of 5 Engineer and release job
Issue Material
Issue 5 “Acheap†material to level 0 (Issues Material)
Issue 5 “ASub†as sub assembly to level 0 (Issues Assembly)
Add Zero labor to level 0 and only completed qty 4
Receive the job to stock for a Qty of 4 and COMPLETE the Job
I received the 4 parts into inventory @ a cost of $0.05 per. But the job unit cost $1,250.05.
I have been able to reproduce this on demand.
I have discover that if we do not received the complete job demand and have pulled some sub-assembly that it will not record properly.
As you can see this is unacceptable since our inventory value will be completely off and the mfg variance account keep getting hit.
I did contact Tech about this but have not been able to convince anyone that we have a problem.I believe that Epicor is not taking this very seriously.
Has anyone else had problems with the production report and cost received to inventory. I would like to hear from anyone else that has been having trouble getting the "Production Detail Report" to report correctly.
Thank you
Larry Barriere
