Re: Adding Actual Labor to Manufacturing Process

Hi James,

You need to setup CostComponentCalc and WorkEffortCostCalc entities data
for cost calculation and you can find the demo data in
AccountingDemoData.xml file at line no 3060.
And createProductionRunTaskCosts service is used for cost calculation. Once
you create CostComponentCalc data and link this entity with your task
ie WorkEffortCostCalc
entity and when your task is completed then actual material cost
automatically created.

Thanks & Regards

Re: Adding Actual Labor to Manufacturing Process

CostComponentCalc: Manufacturing >> Costs
WorkeffortCostCalc: Manufacturing >> Routing Task

You may need to select specific cost/routing to understand it better. As
mentioned by Yashwant, the data file will help the most.

Hi James

As mentioned I think the Cost Component Calculation is what you need and yes it can be setup via the UI in quite a few places:

Manufacturing
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/manufacturing/control/EditCostCalcs

Accounting
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/EditCostCalcs

Catalog
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductCosts?productId=WG-1111

You can specify the fixed and variable parts of the calculation. If you need something a bit more specific then you can code a calculation and then link that coded calculation into the Cost Component Calculation. (See GEN_COST_CALC as an example using a mixture for fixed and bespoke calculation).

You can add costs such as labour at various places (eg Routing Task) need to be linked to a Cost Component Calculation rather than just a rate. You can also add a labour cost to the actual product itself in Catalog manager

https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductCosts

and then use the button at the bottom of the screen to auto calculate an estimate of it.

So in general yes, you can setup and estimate the production costs including labour etc but I think there might be something missing. I haven’t tested intensely in manufacturing but even when I had setup additional costs, so far I have never been able to get anything other than the actual material costs to come on a production run. (I'm talking about the Actual Costs tab linked to an individual production run).

This could be missing setup or just that the tests I’ve done so far are not comprehensive enough.

Thanks
Sharan
