When producing finished goods, whether through manual production in the IN Production Entry form or automatic production in the MS Ticket Entry form, the system updates General Ledger based on the GL accounts defined for the production location.

• If a standard Bill of Materials is used, General Ledger entries are made to the Cost of Production, the Value of Production, and the Inventory accounts specified for the production location (IN Locations form).

• If an override Bill of Materials is used, the system makes General Ledger entries to the Cost of Production, the Value of Production, and the Inventory accounts specified for the production location/category in the IN Location Category Override form.

The GL entry amounts for Cost of Production and Inventory (Raw Materials) are different than the GL amounts for Inventory (Finished Good) and Value of Production. This is because the cost of the finished good is used, not the total cost of the raw materials. You can control this cost and set it to include other costs of production. The following example shows how the General Ledger entries are made.
