Purchase and Direct account not balancing after production order posting because of resource costs

Hi All

Hoping this is an obvious one - everything I'm reading states the direct and purchase accounts should net to zero.

With a production order the labour used in the production order hits the direct account and the WIP account which is correct by design.

After posting the production order total costs are moved from WIP to Inventory - so all good.

The only thing is it leaves the Direct account out of balance with the Purchase account because of this initial labour cost entry.

The labour costs are the first 2 entries on the table below.

Can anyone advise if this is correct? I.e. The direct account and purchase account will not always net to zero because of these labour entries?

Thanks in advance

Matt,

Below are the entries a Production Order posts from Inception thru Consumption and Output. If you have completed the Production Order, have you changed the Status to Finished and run Adjust Cost?

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi

I do not know much of finance. But why you are posting labor into purchase account? I mean I thought labor should go to WIP/Labor Absorption / Finish Good. Mainly inventory / labor related and not purchase.
