Features that you can use to set up job costing, revenue codes, and expense codes for Manufacturing in Microsoft Dynamics GP

INTRODUCTION

This article discusses different features and options that you can use to set up job costing in Microsoft Dynamics GP. This article also discusses how to set up revenue codes and expense codes for reports.

You can use the Revenue/Expense Code Setup window to create revenue codes and expense codes. You can use these codes to summarize the transactions that are applied to jobs.

For example, you can create an expense code that is named LABOR to summarize all expenses that are incurred by a job. This expense code can include actual labor and labor overhead. Also, you can create a revenue code that tracks purchase receipts for incoming inventory.

You must assign the revenue code or the expense code to the appropriate transaction list, depending on what you want to track.

You can click to clear the Auto Apply check box so that changes have to be manually applied. Then, you must assign the transaction list to a job.

After you enter the transactions, and after you apply the transactions to jobs, you can print reports by job. In the report, you can list the transactions by job, by revenue code, or by expense code. You can use these reports to help categorize transactions.
