Variable Material Overhead

Enter the account number for the Variable Material Overhead Applied account. The system will apply variable costs to this account. In contrast to the Fixed Material Overhead account, this account handles costs which fluctuate according to volume changes.

The system will use this account number during job material transactions, job labor transactions, and on entering a job into stock upon completion.

Note:  This field maintains a G/L account number. The account number you enter in this field must be a valid account number in the Chart of Accounts. The Var Material Ovhd field is enabled only if a rate is entered in the Variable Material Overhead Rate field on the General tab.
