Job costing and process costing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by manelson05 660

Recently I enabled job costing in GP.

I have a few things I need clarified before we begin configuration.

1.Can job costing and process costing be used within the same company? If so how does this impact payroll? Or is it a all or ntohign proposition either use job or process costing?

2. If you were able to run both job and process costing how would you run payroll saying you had an employee who worked 40 hours and had 8hrs Job cost and 32 process cost?

3.How would you go about running payroll if you had multiple sites? GL would be seperate for each site/ Company? Is there a way to run them as consolidated Financial statements?

Thank you, if this should be addressed in  a customer source ticekt pelase advise.

    I may not be understanding because of semantics.  How do you define process costing and what GP module are you using to accomplish it?

    Thanks,

    Process costing, is what we are recording.

    We are looking to move some of our projects to job costing using the GP module in MFG.

    it sounds like you could benefit from a GP consultant who knows of what they speak regarding GP Manufacturing setup and transaction processing, especially as it relates to your operation.  As Dan said, there is no such thing as process manufacturing in GP, unless you also have a 3rd party add-on that provides this functionality.

    Contact me if you'd like some assistance.

    We are learnign this out , Integrator told us to setup as process costing, we have tons of variances.

    We are hoping that Job costing will benefit us. The integrator alos had us use the machine setting for all of our outside processing, so we are looking for a workaround on this too.

    GP Mfg doesn't have any process or percentage costing or billing capabilities.  If you want to maintain the process costing, have you looked at  Wennsoft?  I believe their Job Cost module does percentage billing.

    Dan,

    Yes this is using the Job Cost module in Mfg. Currently we use a proccess cost method for jobs at the moment. To me it does not seem possible to use two seperate costing methods as they measure differently.

    Re: Job costing and process costing

    To clarify, for the job costing, are you referring to the Job Cost module as part of the Mfg series?  And can you clarify what you are referring to with process costing?
