Multiple Financial Companies In Manufacturing
The financial transactions of production orders can be posted to the financial companies of the following entities:
- Project
- Production order
- Work center
- Warehouse
These entities belong to certain enterprise units which are linked to financial companies.
How to define the enterprise units
Projects and production orders have calculation offices which determine the enterprise unit. See Calculation Offices.
A work center corresponds to a department with the same code as the work center. Define the enterprise unit of a work center in the Departments (tcmcs0565m000) session.
Define the department of an employee in the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session.
Define the enterprise unit of a warehouse in the Warehouses (tcmcs0503m000) session.
Posting transactions
Orders for a project always have the company number of the project. LN posts all of the project's financial transactions to this company.
If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected, LN posts WIP transactions related to work centers to the work center's financial company. Surcharges defined on end item level or production results are always posted to the company of the production order.
If the Cover Overhead Costs in Employee Department check box in the People Parameters (bpmdm0100m000) session is selected, LN posts the overhead costs of operations to the company of the employee's work center. The employee's work center can be different from the work center where the operation is carried out.
LN posts financial transactions that result from inventory transactions to the warehouse company. LN creates intercompany entries in Financials during posting.
