Overhead cost calculation for Work Orders in D365

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 74
Work Order Overhead cost is incorrect. For example, in WO-056284, which was open from August to November, the estimated overhead posted for August and September was at 400%, while for October and November it was 578% for physical transactions. When the work order was closed, the system reversed the estimated cost and posted the financial cost that was in the system at that time. The inventory controller expected $7813.65 to be OH cost when the work order was closed, but D365 calculated it to be OH at closing rate of 578%, this much higher cost at $11543.7004. How can we get the system to be set so it is the tracked rate for  the entire length of the work order
I have the same question (0)

    Thanks for sharing. Can compare the production volumes / quantities between both periods? If you've for example a higher volume/quantity in October/November, than the variable cost will be higher.

    Good day,
     
    Thanks for your reply. When the behavior is "Variable" the costs are depending of the production volume. Was the production volume higher in October and November higher in comparison with August and September? What do you mean with "tracked rate"?

    HI:
     
    Thanks for responding as all our cost groups are set up as variable costs

    Good day,
     
    What is the behavior setting of the cost group for overhead cost? Is it fixed cost or variable cost?
