Posting to the GL for Resources in Assembly BOMS

Posted on by JK-08011722-0

We are an assembly and manufacturing company that is moving over to business central. We have very simple processes enough that we would like to stick with Assembly and not deal with production and work centers/routings. We were told that to calculate labor and overhead of assembly, that we should add these as resources to the assembly BOMs.

Our issue is we can't find how to not double post in the GL. We currently post our wages expenses from our payroll using a third party system. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to prevent double posting, or a process that has worked for them? Do these resource costs get posted anywhere else besides COGS of the final sold item?

Similar question here with an answer, although its for manufacturing but same concept applies to assembly orders - Production Order Costing - Direct/Indirect Labor Overhead

Since you have posted wages expenses in the third party system, why do you need to add it in Assembly BOMS?

In addition, do you post the Assembly Order in BC first or do you post the expenses through the third party system first? If you must do this control, you can check whether the same amount of rows are included in the subsequent operation of the program.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks.

Thank you for your answers. Yun Zhu, we want to be able to track the cost of labor and absorb it into our cost of items so we can know if we are overhiring for our production, but since we post our wages through a third party payroll, this would be a double entry. We aren't using Production BOMs because Work Centers and Routers don't fit our business model and are overcomplicated for what we are looking for.

The answer was actually very simple. When a resource is used in an assembly order, it obviously posts as a resource ledger entry. This means that all we need to do is view the resource ledger entry, see how much labor was absorbed into the cost of assembly, and subtract that from our final wages entry, likely before entering it into the system.
