Configured Item Manufacturing Accounting
Manufacturing accounting for configured items occurs when you complete a work order using the Work Order Completions program (P31114).
The work orders for configured items must be completed from the lowest level configured item to the top level configured item. This order is the same as completing the highest work order number down to the lowest. For example, the work orders for the forklift are completed in this order:
Item 6200, fork
Item 6100, boom
Item 6000, forklift
Completing the work order consists of issuing material, reporting labor, and then reporting the completion of the item that the work order represents. The cost of the work order is created, and the item can be issued to the next level. Thus, completing the configured item work orders in the correct order ensures that the associated costs are created and carried over to the next level work order.
At completions, the configured item is completed to a unique location and lot number. The configuration ID is associated with the item and work order number by the system. When the configured item is completed, the system updates the Item Cost table (F4105) at the item, branch/plant, location, and lot level. The system uses the configuration-specific standard costs in the Production Cost table (F3102) for related manufacturing accounting transactions.
The Item Ledger table (F4111) is then created with the correct cost from the F4105 table.
