Labor and Overhead Costs Sent to Material Costs - E10.0.400.2

So, I'm looking at why some of the labor and burden costs are being treated as materials when we produce a job.

It seems labor from operations that have material attached is going to GL as material cost. The way most of our bills are set up, all the materials on an assembly are attached to the first operation. The operations may go something like, Machine, Weld, Paint. In this case, the Machine labor and burden go to material. Labor and burden for Weld and Paint go to labor and burden in the GL.

If I look at the cost history in InvcDtl, for example, I see materials, labor, and burden reported as I would expect.

Is there maybe some setup issue here I'm not seeing.

We are reporting Quantity Only, so the labor times are coming from the production standard in the bills.

Flailing here.

Thanks,

Joe

I'm looking at the costing information on several items from InvcDtl: Mtl Unit Cost, Lbr Unit Cost, Bur Unit Cost, Sub Unit Cost, and Mtl BurUnit Cost.

They jive with the cost generated by a BOM Cost Report.

I compare those numbers with the COGS coming from the Inventory/WIP report. They total to the penny. But a portion of the both labor and burden have been moved to material costs--about half, but not exactly on the couple of parts I'm looking at.

The GL control codes look okay in GL Control Maintenance under type Product Group.

I'm wondering if I have a setup wrong somewhere that's sending an operation or resource or something to material instead of labor or overhead.

Evidently, I have looked everywhere but in the right place. Any suggestions?
