Hi to All.
We are about to implement both, manufacturing accounting and advanced cost accounting, still in design phase.
I have one doubt regarding of the proper handling of Floor Stock (Issue Type Code = F)
Currently , we don't have Accounting for Inventory and Manufacturing, and only have it enabled for sales and purchasing.
Some of our work orders have component items with issue type code = I (that we issue with material issues P31113), and some others have issue type code F.
In issue type code F we have items that we haven't a exact measure to associate at each work order, for example, we manufacture painted pieces, so we setup a frame with a lot of different pieces to paint the same colour, each piece has his own work order and we have a estimate kg paint powder usage in his part list, but this is not accurate and it varies a lot in function of the total paint load (is not the same to pass a single frame than to pass ten frames). Currently we have the estimated quantity in part list as stocking type F, then our warehouse people, use a scale to weight the powder can before giving it to the painting plant, and after when the painting plant returns it, so we know the total weight consumed for a day (several work orders), so we use a Inventory Issue (II document) to inform that material usage.
The point is that although this works for inventory management, with manufacturing accounting we want to be able to associate the material usage, if not to the work order, to the manufacturing section, in order to be able to detect bad allocations for materials that are shared between different sections, and also to have a easy way to detect bad performing sections. We plan to use business unit or a cost object for the work centre.
My question is, how you handle this Stoking type F in order to associate his usage with the manufacturing work centre or section in advanced cost accounting? I have seen that the Inventory Issue transaction has no options for the user to manually input a cost object.
Many Thanks for reading till here
