Overheads

Overhead costs are costs not allocated to any productive activity such as

meetings, repairs, cleaning, etc.

The following procedure should be followed when overhead costs are to be captured through factory data recording:

•A work order is created, ideally as document 1,
Type: Overhead, activate "Overhead" switch in work order header
(see Production - Work Order - Work Order)

•A "Phantom assembly" is created, consisting of any item, ideally without inventory maintenance

•This assembly is used to store all overhead types as routing, such as repair, meeting, training, cleaning, etc..

In case of a large number overhead cost types, they can also be distributed to different production positions.

When employees want to report an overhead cost type, they use the overhead cost order for this purpose. The routing positions of an overhead order cannot be closed using a time report.
