Costing for Job Orders

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 184

Hello Team,

Hope every one doing well!

Recently I came over one business scenario. I want suggestions from you people on this.

Scenario:

The Company 'A' is using Business Central and they're into the Steel TMT Rod manufacturing. They receive order from their customers for Steel TMT Rods. For regular orders we raise PO for raw materials to Vendors based on the demand.

But there are orders from customer for which they provide Raw Materials as well (like Subcontracting process). The company 'A' will only consume and produce Steel TMT Rods. They're going to invoice only for the Process, and Labour. The Raw Materials cost should not be considered here because raw materials are provided by customer itself.

Questions:

1. How to treat the Raw Materials that are sent by the Customers? For Company A, there should not be any financial entries and value entries created.

2. Can I create PO with Zero cost? But customers will send an invoice along with the raw materials when they ship them from their location to the company A location because of govt. norms (Good should not be transported without invoice).

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks in Advance!

    1.  How to treat the Raw Materials that are sent by the Customers? For Company A, there should not be any financial entries and value entries created. - I would create a Location by Customer for their Inventory they consign to you. For those Production Orders where the Customer provides the raw material you can update the Firm-Planned Production Order to pick the components from the Customer Location vs. Main location. When you create the Item Journal to bring this inventory in, to the Customer Location, you will enter 0.00 Unit Cost.

    2. Can I create PO with Zero cost? But customers will send an invoice along with the raw materials when they ship them from their location to the company A location because of govt. norms (Good should not be transported without invoice). - Are you creating a PO to get the raw material from Customer? If yes, you can create a PO for the Raw Material to be received into a Customer Location, at 0.00 Unit Cost.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
