How to post ressource cost to G/L

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi All

When using resources on ex. sales orders how do you make sure that the resource cost is posted to G/L?  

Is there a similar report to "Post inventory to G/L?"

Thanks

    Well very disappointed about reading this about cost posting to the GL requiring a mod or add on..... An other way depending on your situation could be to create an Item and use it like a resource as Item will post a cost to GL. The only downside is you are left with a growing negative on hand balance coupled with the fact when you run a valuation report on true inventory items you will need to remember to filter these items out!

    Hi Jens,

    thank you very much for the explanation. I have created a new account in gen posting setup to credit resource cost and made the appropriate changes to CU 212 - Res. Jnl.-Post Line.

    Though I am still surprised that this is not already build in functionality.

    Hi Allan,

    we had the same requirement. The base reason why there is no ressource cost being posted is that there are only internal ressources in standard NAV, and the g/l representation of internal ressources is payroll. If you happen to buy ressources (it's an AddOn), the g/l representation is purchased services. There is no direct link to the sales side this way. If you want the sales dimension values to split the ressource cost, you would need to:

    - have direct unit cost for it in the SO,

    - post it to a separate (closed) set of accouts in the G/L, we call them "expected ressource cost".

    We have done just this for a "special" CA requirement, basically PnL by region and LOB without posting the purchase invoices that way.

    with best regards

    Jens

    Yes my problem is somehow similar, except that I am posting a SO. Is it really neccesary to make a customization to post the resource cost to G/L?
