Service Order Resource costs should post to the General Ledger

Katrina She on 7/28/2021 3:49:12 PM
When a Resource is posted on a Service Order, the entries posted will only DR. AR and then CR. Sales to the General Ledger (GL). It does not post the Resource Costs to the GL. I would expect it to record the costs to the GL that is associated with the Service Order. Without the costs, it's recognizes sales to the GL without costs and it requires someone to manually book an entry for the costs which is prone to errors (i.e. using the wrong GL, Dimensions, amounts, etc).

Can we please look into posting the Resource Costs directly to the GL when a Service Order is posted?

What would the offset be? Not inventory.


I'm thinking probably an accrual account of some kind to be consumed at a later time. Like I bill Johnie's time at $200/hr but I know I pay him $50/hr. So I'd want to line up rev-cost by posting $50 cost when I invoice for his time. Debit cost, Credit Accrued Wages. Then at payroll time move from Accrued Wages to Salary Expense.

In the same manner this should apply to items of the type service in Sales Orders.

Currently only a value entry is created with the non-inventory costs leading to a skewed result for profit as costs are not in the GL.
