Use WO Operation Adjustment (30.5.5.14) to specify a WIP cost adjustment that lets you modify an operation’s labor, burden, and subcontract costs for a work order or a cumulative order.

The work order or cumulative order must be a valid, system order, and the components must be valid in the work or cumulative order as well as operations. The work order/cumulative order must be open for the period/year the adjustment is being reported.

The system creates a periodic cost adjustment GL transaction for the WIP cost adjustment. When statutory currency is enabled for the domain, the system calculates the WIP cost adjustment transaction, based on the effective date provided. The periodic cost adjustment transaction is separate from the CST-ADJ transactions created for standard cost. An adjustment account for this WIP cost adjustment transaction must be specified. The process cost adjustment transaction impacts the specified WIP account and the adjustment account.

Note that the Work Order Cost Adjustment only displays the elements that apply to the work order operation, unlike the total cost adjustment and the unit cost adjustment, which display all elements.

Specify the period/year for this adjustment. Enter the work order number, ID, and operation; then, specify the item number and effective date. The system displays the Cost Set Selection frame. Select the cost set, then enter the account, sub-account, and cost center. The system displays elements from the cost set.

Individually adjust costs in the Adjustment Amt field for material, labor, burden, and so on. You can enter a negative amount for an element; however, the total must be positive.

For each element, specify Yes to change the element to a primary element. You cannot change a primary element to a non-primary element. The system sums the total cost adjustment for the period and compares the adjustment against receipts on the element level.
