We are trying to find a way to include the cost of shipping the parts to outside vendors to the work orders. We use our own drivers and our own trucks. We were thinking about using Labor hours that would be backflushed when the next operation was completed. We were looking for other options as well if there are any. We were going to figure a per unit cost and then the next operation would post complete causing the labor to be issued to the previous operation that would only have burden charges attached to the labor hours (no labor cost). Any suggestions?

We call it "amortizing tooling" where we spread the tool engineering charge across the expected first order qty by raising the piece price on that order. We too would be very interested in a way to handle this within Vantage.
As far as capturing the separate costs - we create a separate job (main job number with a "T' in front of it - could be "D" for development). If tooling is amortized we link it to a $.01 sales order line item otherwise the line is for the quoted engineering charge. Matching the amortized tool revenue to the tool job costs was a whole bunch of RB gyrations.
Definitely an area ripe for enhancements.

Subject: [Vantage] Recovering Development Costs in a BOM
Hi all,
We are looking for a method of including the recovery of development costs
in the standard costs of a product. This would be a fixed sum for every
unit manufactured (but vary for different parts), and should be included in
the "break-even" price, as we use the standard cost for inter-company sales.
Adding a "Development" material to the BOM would cause stocking problems,
and we don't want to have to book labour to bump the cost up, as this would
probably require some form of manual intervention to ensure that the hours
were booked on every Job.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem - we can't be the only company
trying to recover our development overhead from the number of parts sold!
Best regards
