Has this problem been fixed? I still get zero on some costs. the invoices are posted but the Work Orders are R not C.
We don't use KIT type part numbers so that is not the reason i have zero costs/
Quote from Lynn_Pantic on 06/20/12 at 17:23:16:SA (and the GL for COGS and inventory) is looking at whatever the cost was at the time the order was invoiced which has absolutely nothing to do with the Job Cost Report. If you invoiced the order before the WO-I was processed and it is a new item, the invoice will pull from inventory at $0.
Quote from Lynn_Pantic on 02/22/07 at 07:03:15:You will never have accurate costs at the time of invoicing if you don't receive the PO's. I suggest you receive the POs and Enter Finished Production prior to invoicing so the costs are accurate (to the degree your PO is accurate). Any subsequent change resulting from a difference between the PO and Invoice will be reflected as WIP Variance but will ultimately be shown in the JC reports. If Purchasing is doing their job, it should be the rare exception that the AP Invoice is significantly different from the PO.
Quote from Karen Mason on 09/15/05 at 05:21:25:We do not use the report because it is not really accurate. In order to post invoices, we need to enter finished production. Since all costs are not into finished production, we have to use our best educated guess as to the cost/pc. I believe that is what may get into SA-B. Once we close the job (may be months later if it is for multiple releases) we get our "good" cost.
We are kinda like Karen, Does this keep us from using SA-A and SA-B?
problem SA-A has some invoices with zero costs.
The costs do come out correctly on JC-A job costing.
