Hi
What is the use of Overhead Rate in Item Card (It is not available by default and I just added there)? Does this has any functions?
I think if I put any number there it will post in G/L if we buy this item. But how about MFG product? Does this cost add to item when we close production order?
Thanks

Steven,
Assuming standard cost = 0, Overhead Rate (on item card) = 100, after finishing production order of 1 pc. Inventory is increased by 1pc, unit cost = 0 (as per standard cost) However, the Journal Entry is
Dr Variance-Mfg. OH 100
Cr FG (100)
Inventory Value is not aligned with General Ledger.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks

Adding to Josh's reply... Overhead Rate, on the Item Card, is a field where companies who want to apply an overhead to the Item would add a value (i.e. $2.00). This is a flat amount to be added to the Direct Cost of the Item. For example: You purchase Raw Material at $1.00 each. You set an Overhead Rate of .50. When you Post Invoice, the Unit Cost for the Item is $1.00 + .50, per UOM (Each). You will see this on the Value Entries. This field is in addition to the Indirect Cost %, where you can apply an Indirect Cost Percentage to the Item.
Now, this field is NOT that same, per say, as the field on the Work Center Card. The field is the same and works the same, except that the amount will only apply to the entries related to Output Routings effecting the Work Center. When you post an Output or Production Journal the additional Overhead Rate will be added and applied Direct Cost.
Now if I was Manufacturing an Item, I normally, per best practice, place an Overhead or Indirect Cost % against the Work Center. If I was apply the Landed Cost against a purchased raw material, I would utilize Charge(Item) to capture the additional costs.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve

It mentions NAV but the functionality has not changed since then.
