Miscellaneous order/job charges

You may want to look at Material Burden for adding a calculated cost
value to a job, it's usually based on Material cost though.

Otherwise, the freight and shipping charges could go through some sort
of clearing account, but that's only if you are adding it as a line to
the customer invoice.

Subject: [Vantage] Miscellaneous order/job charges



Normally, all the costs of an order flow through the various job
operations that are required to manufacture the job. However, there are
a few other costs of an order. Our main other cost is freight for
shipping the finished product to the customer. But, we also have
intermediaries that charge us for document processing and management of
an order. How do I get those costs into the costs of the order? Do I
need to somehow associate those costs with a job related to the order?
That seems unreasonable, given that the costs have nothing to do with
any of the jobs that are needed to manufacture the order.

Obviously the answer is miscellaneous charges on the invoice to capture
those other "costs".

We have a freight part number to add the cost of freight on the job.
When we go to Vantage 8.03 this part number will be non-quantity bearing
and life will be easy here, because now it is not.

We actually have a PO for freight with about $500K on it and receive it
and backflush it out when we finish a job. A pain in the behind but it
works for us.

Sorry forgot to mention that the freight on the PO is the cost to send
stuff out to subcontract work. Our items are big and we have to send it
by open bed trucks. So that is how we capture freight associated to the
job itself.

Freight to a customer is strictly a miscellaneous charge.
