Relationship between Receipt and Cost Accounting
The receipt records created when materials are received serve as the starting point for monthly cost accounting.
| Influencing Factors | Content |
|---|---|
| Direct Material Costs | The unit price at the time of receipt is used to calculate material costs. |
| Receiving Containers | Raw materials managed by containers are tracked for usage on a per-container basis. |
| Lot Number | Received lots are cost-calculated using the first-in, first-out (consumption starts from the oldest lot) method. |
Tips for Use
- Partial acceptance is possible: We can accept quantities less than the ordered quantity. The remainder can be processed in a future acceptance.
- Supplier Lot Record: Keeping a record of the supplier's shipping lot number allows for tracking in the event of any quality issues.
- Record shelf locations: Entering shelf locations makes it easier to count items by area during inventory.
- Lot numbers are automatically assigned: Usually the system
R{YYMMDD}-{連番}Numbering is done automatically in this format (manual specification is also possible).
