Title: Shop Work Order
Post by Kelloggs on 05/06/04 at 08:56:49

In DBA, we have some items that were manufactured on a shop work order.
They were costed and closed, but the work order is made to shop (i.e. expensed).

We would like to count the items and input them as inventory (they were not stocked before but we would like to add them to stock).

Is there a way to add to inventory and take away from shop expense?

A GJ transaction equivalent to the value of the items you are adding to stock will take care of the accounting side, and you can add the items as an inventory adjustment.

If the posting is turned on, the adjustment will make its own accounting entry but it will post between Inventory and COGS based on the item class so you may need to change hte expense account it posts to.

Actually, I was thinking the adjustment should be done in IN-K, and then do the accounting entry seperately so that it can be fully controlled.

IN-K makes the same GL posting as IN-C, there is no difference.

Not if you zero the cost fields, it doesn't..... ;D

But that puts the items into stock at $0 which is not the intent.

I disagree. They were already costed to expense. The GJ transaction will move that to inventory. The 1st set of transactions against them as an asset item then will create nice clean new last and average costing. I find this cleaner.
