Sub-contract purchase order cost and the sub-contract cost in production order are different

(0) ShareShare

Hi all,

Usually , in case of sub-contract, the production order and the related sub-contract purchase order are marked with each other.

Also, the purchase order cost (quantity*unit price) is the cost that gets added to the production order.

But in this specific client's case, the sub-contract purchase order cost is different from the sub-contract cost that has got added to the production order.

Screen shot : 1 Sub-contract production order BOM lines - service items and related sub-contract purchase orders

Actual purchase order value for the sub-contract purchase orders:

As it could be seen in screen shot 2 and 3, there is absolutely, no correlation between the realised cost amount in the production order for the sub-contract service items & the actual cost of the production orders.

(1) Though the purchase orders are created from the production order, how the purchase cost and the cost loaded to production order varies

(2) From where does the system picks the cost to be added to the production orders?

Thank you very much for your support in advance.

Sriram

    Hello Sriram - the costs on the Production order would be calculated based upon the actual consumption, and the Cost categories tied to the Resources on your route operations.  

    Regarding the discrepancy between Purchase cost and Production cost - what is costing method are you using (FIFO, STD, etc)?   If you run an Inventory recalculation for the item, are the cost amounts updated?

    Hi Sriram,

    When you consume some item in production order, the realized cost will be the moving average cost at that time.

    During inventory close the cost of it will be adjusted according to the inventory model of it.

    Hello

    I believe you are looking at the wrong data.

    the sub-contracting link called "marking" is between transactions and not orders .

    It will link the financial cost  ( and quantities ) of the receipt  transaction in status "Purchased" against the service in the PO   with the issue  transaction "production line"  in status "sold" generated from the picking list  for the same service and only when the order has been ended.

    The inventory cost model ( FIFO,LIFO,STD) has nothing to do with this issue as the marking will take priority always.

    In order to see the cost reflected , you will need to invoice the service line first and then end the batch order.

    It assumes you have consumed the service on the work order picking list and  the quantity matches with the quantity received/invoiced on the PO ( and "marked")

    If you have ended the batch order before  invoicing the PO , you will need to run the reculculation and the system will pass the right invoiced cost  to the  batch order using the marking .
