Quantity Complete (at Manufacturing Operation)

This transaction may be performed only if the Shop Floor Control module is installed.  If performed against an operation that was completed within the factory, this transaction is not costed, as the labor and machine hours are used to cost the operation.  If performed against an outside-processed operation, it is used to reflect the cost of work that is sent outside of the shop to be completed.

1.   In-shop Workcenter

No journal entries generated.

2.   Outside Process Workcenters - with variable miscellaneous cost.  The miscellaneous cost is determined based on the cost and Rate Code defined for the workcenter.  A Rate Code of M, L, or O is treated as a variable miscellaneous cost.

3.   Outside Process Workcenters - with fixed miscellaneous cost.  The miscellaneous cost is determined based on the cost and Rate Code defined for the workcenter.  A Rate Code of X, Y, or Z is treated as a fixed miscellaneous cost.  The fixed cost is divided by the Average Order Quantity for the part to obtain a variable cost per unit, used in generating a journal entry for quantity complete.

This is calculated as the average cost per unit (2000/100) multiplied by the quantity completed.

Note:    If a miscellaneous cost is defined as "fixed," it is assumed that the total amount is always incurred regardless of the quantity of the manufactured part that is actually completed.  Thus, the total fixed cost will eventually be charged to work in process.  When the order is closed, the amount that has been charged to date will be reconciled to the total fixed cost and an adjustment will be made to reflect the difference.
