Overview

Extra costs on a Production Run or Work Order live in two separate, independent sections:

Assembly costs (under the COGS tab) — conversion costs that roll into the produced item's COGS. Each line has a Memo, Quantity, and Unit Price; the Line Total feeds into landed cost.

Document charges (under the Charges tab) — setup, tooling, or rush fees billed on the manufacturing document. These do not affect COGS. Same simple line format (Memo, Quantity, Unit Price, Line Total).

Where to find the controls

  1. Open the Production Run or Work Order.
  2. To affect COGS, go to the COGS tab (on a Production Run, the Costs tab) and add a line under Assembly costs.
  3. To bill the co-manufacturer without touching COGS, go to the Charges tab (on a Production Run, the Costs tab) and add a line under Document charges.
  4. If a charge needs to do both — increase COGS and appear on the document — add it as a separate line in each section. There's no single line that does both at once.

Tips

  • Use Document charges for pass-through charges (rush fees, tooling) you bill to the co-manufacturer but don't want inflating COGS.
  • Use Assembly costs for conversion costs that should affect inventory valuation but aren't itemized on the document.
  • To get a charge into both places, add it once in each section — the two totals are entered and tracked independently, not split from one shared amount.
