item charge assignment in NAV 5.0 with WOrk centres

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

Hi

we are using work centres to control goods production. our sales drive a demand that is handled using sub-contracting worksheet via a work centre.

this generates our purchase orders.

we have found that the goods received via these PO’s cannot have an item charge assigned to them (in this case we need to allocate freight costs that are sent to us 2 weeks after the goods).

on investigation, the standard product code relating to item charge assignments will not allow work centres to have charges assigned to them.

has anyone found a solution to this issue? current proposal is to use transfer orders after the goods have been received in but this will be laborious and create unnecessary steps.

advice appreciated!

Hi Rosy

The freight charge is actually a consumption charge of the finished goods, and therefore I would advise you apply these to the reported output of the production order to get the costs correct. The sub-contract process is a service, not an item, and that is why you cannot add an additional cost charge, it has nothing to assign it to. My advice would be not to go through a complex costly modification, but apply it to the finished goods, which is where it would end up anyway.

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE.

WE WILL NEED TO FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION SOMEHOW. THIS IS NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD.
