Materials issued to a job become the job's cost

What moves

Stock issued to a project is booked to Project materials cost with the project as the dimension and announced to Construction, which records it as the job's material cost. A return from site credits the same job.

Before you start

• Inventory, Accounting and Construction (or Projects) in your plan
• The project linked to a value of the Projects dimension in Accounting (an issue to an unlinked project waits in Waiting to post until it is)
• The job's project, and an active Material cost code in Construction

Step by step

1. Warehouse userInventory, Purchasing & Warehousing

   Issues stock to the job's project from Issued to jobs.

   You see:A shipment-style move posts at the item's real cost, naming the project.

2. SystemAccounting & E-Invoicing

   Books Dr Project materials cost / Cr Inventory, tagged to the project.

   You see:The entry appears in the Stock journal; cost of goods sold is untouched.

3. SystemConstruction & Contracting

   Reads the project's cost line as job cost.

   You see:The job's material cost rises by the value issued, and a cost code over budget raises its usual alert.

4. Warehouse userInventory, Purchasing & Warehousing

   Returns unused stock from site.

   You see:The stock goes back to its shelf at the issue's cost and the job is credited the same amount.
