Job Journal - Allocate Actual Cost Of Item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3,255

Hi All

We have items with Average cost or FIFO cost. On the Job planning line we have budgeted lines with a quantity and unit cost. When creating the job , the unit cost is only an estimated cost.

Subsequently actual cost is updated when items are purchased.

Now when we create a Job Journal from the Job planning line (or in Job journal linking to planning line), unit cost is set to budgeted unit cost instead of the actual cost upon posting of the job journal.  Is there a way to configure Jobs so the actual cost (The cost if you create a negative adjustment from item journal) is taken when posting job journals?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi

    If you don't use "Create job journal" function and go to Job journal and select the item itself, then it will being the Item Unit cost instead of the unit cost assigned on the job planning.

    Yes if you create job journal manually (without using "Create Job Journal" function ion planning line) then the item cost defaults to actual cost. I cannot understand the logic behind why when you create the Journal from job planning line, the item cost defaults to budgeted cost. Seems like we are missing a setting
