In my opinion the reporting side doesn't change much if you're simply
looking at margin from an invoiced sales dollars perspective (it either
gets cost of goods sold from the job, or the inventory value of the part
(last, average, or standard). The larger challenge is how you manage
job costing in a receipt to stock environment and your method of
inventory evaluation. We are a mixed mode about 93% make direct, 7%
make to stock (both components and end items). I can send you a copy of
our sales gross margin report offline if you want (crystal).

Subject: [Vantage] Profitability reporting in a mixed mode environment
We have traditionally been a 100% make direct company. Therefore, all
our profitability reporting has been based on the Sales Order revenue to
Job cost relationship. We are now moving into being a mixed mode company
since we are now receiving larger quantity orders with scheduled
releases where it makes sense to make to stock and ship from inventory.
However, this means that my profitability reports that are based on a
Sales order to Job relationship are not valid for reporting
profitability for make to stock parts.
Since I am now facing reporting profitability in two different ways
using different tables for the costing information, I really don't want
to have to have two different profitability reports.
Just curious how other companies that are mixed mode handle
profitability reporting.
Thanks in advance.
