Work Order Accounting Control
Post Variances at SFC determines whether labor and burden rate and usage variances are only calculated and posted at the time of work order receipt.
• If set to Yes, labor and burden rate and usage variances are posted whenever shop floor labor feedback transactions are entered
• If set to No, variances are suppressed and not calculated or posted until the work order is received. Because usage variances are calculated based on earned hours, if operations ever span more than one shift without resulting in any items being reported complete, this field should be set to No.
Setting this field to No will reduce the number of variance transactions posted to the general ledger, particularly if there are many shop floor labor transactions processed before material receipts are recorded
The value entered in Work Order Accounting Control displays as the default on all work orders but can be changed manually on each. The exception to this is for routable work orders, which do not default from Work Order Accounting Control; instead they default from the parent work order.
