We are producing items with mutilevel BOMs, typically 3 levels. We are using FiFO as inventory value model.
A typical item could look like this:
Finished product (Item F1) has 3 route operations (grinding, blasting, painting) and no raw material
Semi finished product (Item S1) has 1 route operation (cutting) and raw material R1
Raw material (Item R1)
To produce F1 we would need two production orders P1 and P2.
Production | Item | Raw material | Operations | Cost category: Material |
Cost category: Production |
P2 | S1 | R1 | Cutting | 25125 | 3450 |
P1 | F1 | - | Grinding Blasting Painting |
0 | 7151 |
After selling the items we would like to se the costs in the "Sales analysis by invoice" report split by cost categories.Today there is only one column "Cost value" which is the sum of all production costs including material. I understand this could be a problem to show the correct value until the inventory is closed since we use FIFO, but after closing the inventory the system should know from what production order the cost comes from and what categories the costs were devide in,
Could this be accomplished in any way?
And if not, how do other companies to trying to answer the question: What's the material cost for all sold items for a specific period?
Thanks in advance!
