Dear List,
I have a question to do with manufacturing accounting that some of you must have encountered before in determining where the GL entries go for the labour / machine recoveries (or accruals.)
For those that are still with me, the conundrum is this :
Standard JDE manufacturing accounting generates GL entries based on the work order header information. You cannot (there is a SAR Returned Reconsider in Future SAR 2717435) generate entries based on the different work centres that a work order may flow through in its' routing.
My question is what do other people do where a work order may cross more than one work centre, and recoveries for labour and machine costs are required at the work centre level ?
Do you generate multi level bills with intermediaries, each with their own work order (thus requiring multiple completions, work order releasing etc) to accrue the costs of each step to the right business unit, or do you accrue labour and machine costs to a single business for the whole work order and have some other method to allocate the accruals to the work centres (or business units) where the activity actually took place ?
Any thoughts on this would be welcome.

Adrian
