GL Posting for Inventory and Work Centers is quite different.

Inventory Posting is done for materials issued and receipt from Inventory

Work Centers posting is done for Machine and Resources’s time spent in particular production order.

Okay so I will reply to the original question not the second post [:D] There are some really good explanations form the past that are still valid.

These relate to the routing and routing costs. These will only be called depending upon the ledger posting setting in production parameters.

WIP issue would be considered Labour offset and WIP Account the offset to this. The costing happens at the end.

The best way to understand this is to process a production order through step by step and examine the ledger entries.
