hi

we have service items on a BOM, which we use to accrue costs for the packing of finished goods.

this service item creates a PO automatically and also contributes to the cost of the product of the back of production receipt, but i am now worried that we are double counting its cost as when we grn and invoice the PO then surely we will create a balance for it again?

will ax know that one of the transactions needs to be reversed automatically? otherwise i have a balance in wip issue and a balance in my purchase accounts?

any advice appreciated

    Hi raff, to me it looks as if your service item is set up as a so called subcontracting item that automatically creates a PO. If everything is setup correctly Ax should consume the item costs when posting the PO invoice and your Wip account should be cleared. Yet, I think only testing and analyzing this process step by step will give you the full picture and allow you to evaluate whether everything is setup correctly. All the best, Ludwig

    hi Ludwig

    i think from testing so far, we need to invoice the PO before we end the job, this way the wip issue should book out the invoice accrual and assign to finished goods cost , but need further testing!

    Hi raff, I think an inventory close / inventory calculation fixes the costing issue even if you post the PO invoice after ending the job. Maybe try to include this scenario in your tests. All the best and happy testing :-) Ludwig
