Consumption of Resource Hours in Service Order

Posted on by 604

In NAV, when you post Ship and Invoice or Ship and Consume against a service line of Resource, why is it NAV does not create any G/L Entry based on the resource cost (i.e. on my demo db, resource cost is defined using resource group cost).  I was assuming that it should have created below G/L entry:

     Dr. Cost of Sale - Resourcejavascript:void(0)

     Cr. Applied Overhead Account

Note: The Applied Overhead Account is a contra expense account against the salaries and wages group account in the P&L.

    Yeah I know that Nev :).  If you look into the Job Planning Line window page, there is a column for Service Order No.  Whereas in the Service Order, if you open the Service Line window page, there are several fields related to the Jobs.  You can also find on the Navigate tab on the ribbon of the service order something about Job Ledger Entries. :)

    No direct relation, not sure what you spotted though, might be something i haven't used yet?

    But the job is more current sales current inventory, while service is all about after sales with "serviceable items" rather than current inventory if this makes sense?

    Thanks Nev,

    I am also thinking the same thing :).  It is my first time to use the service module and I have not read the entire manual yet.  Anyway, would you also know how Job and Service are integrated?  I have just seen on Service Order and Jobs application areas, they have functions which relates to one another.

    Hi

    Nope as you have seen in the demo system there is no automatic recovery of resource cost,

    I haven't needed to do something like this yet but i think you could perhaps do something with the resource ledger,

    When posting a service invoice with a resource an entry is created in the resource ledger containing the cost, perhaps use this to build a recovery journal as a batch job?

    Cheers
