Hi BC Community,
We would like to include a fixed percentage material overhead rate (think handling) to every item. For simplicity sake, we will use a fixed cost of 0.1 * item unit cost
We would like this cost to be rolled up into the assembly order (work order) , but also be separated from the direct unit cost of the item, and other labor costs as well.
A few thoughts are:
- add a field to item table, overhead rate = direct unit cost * 0.1
- This field should flow through the creation of an assembly order - and be rolled up into the final cost of the item
- However, when running a report against the assembly order, this field should be a separate column - to segregate it from other costs such as direct unit cost, labor rate.
Appreciate your thoughts on this issue, and a possible approach.
Thank you!
