I am in a discussion here. We have created an indirect code call Supervisor. The supervisors clocks into the code at the start of the day. Then if they need to clock into a job, they stay clocked into the indirect code but then clocks into the job. Does this split labor/burden or does the job override the indirect code.
How do I prove or research this?
I believe it is neither. I believe both will be applied.
Create the necessary records and test. You will be able to see and adjust from there.
Job overrides indirect. All overlapping labor hours would be applied to the job activity.
No matter the settings? It would be ok for job costing if they stayed clock in to the indirect code while working on a job?
I’m not aware of an override setting. Another option would be to collect this kind of labor data in a job where the operations would mimic indirect codes. Overlapping labor time between jobs is split evenly.
The setup you have right now, where they’re logged into the Supervisor activity all day, essentially acts as a fail safe where all “non-production” time is captured against the supervisor activity.
That was the end goal. Thank you
