Manufacturing Process Costing – Flow
1. Sales & Demand Initiation
- Create Sales Order
- Confirm demand for manufactured product
2. Bill of Material (BoM) Definition
Define detailed cost structure in BoM:
A. Standard Cost Components
- Direct Material Cost
- Direct Labor Cost
- Direct Overhead Cost
B. By-Product Cost Allocation (if applicable)
- Direct Material Cost (By-Product)
- Direct Labor Cost (By-Product)
- Direct Overhead Cost (By-Product)
Ensures accurate cost distribution across main and by-products
3. Manufacturing Order Creation
- Generate Manufacturing Order (MO) from Sales Order or manually
- Select Process Costing Accounting Template
- Controls how accounting entries will be posted
- Defines cost allocation logic
4. Work Order Execution
- Create Work Orders from MO
- Assign operations and work centers
5. Shop Floor Data Capture
- Record actual quantities (material, labor time, overhead usage) in Work Orders
- Data automatically updates in:
- Manufacturing Order
- Costing calculations
This ensures real-time actual costing vs planned costing
6. Process Costing Report Generation
- Print Process Costing Report
- Review:
- Planned vs Actual Cost
- Cost per unit
- Stage-wise cost accumulation
7. Shop Floor Completion
- Finalize production:
- Update actuals (materials consumed, labor hours, overheads)
- Mark Work Orders as done
- Close Manufacturing Order
8. Accounting & Cost Validation
- Review Accrual/Accounting Entries
- WIP (Work in Progress)
- Finished Goods valuation
- Variance postings
9. Product Cost Update & Analysis
- Check Product Cost Price on product form
- Validate:
- Actual Cost vs Standard Cost
- Variance analysis
End Result
- Accurate process-wise costing
- Real-time shop floor tracking
- Proper financial impact (WIP → Finished Goods)
- Visibility on cost variances and profitability
