How to Structure a Manufacturing Profit and Loss Statement in QuickBooks Also, this will allow us to account for certain models that require more or less labor to assemble in our pricing decisions.

As you can imagine in this case, if we were to exclude direct labor and overhead from our BOM, we increase the chance of making poor pricing decisions without the full picture. From this, you can also see that each bicycle is going to absorb $42.71 in Direct Labor and $43.95 of Overhead, bringing the total cost per bicycle to $173.41 This means that there is $86.75 in direct materials, $42.71 in labor and $43.95 in overhead. Take a look toward the bottom, and you can where we added both Direct Labor and Overhead factors to our BOM.Īs you review the BOM above, you can see that we have the Direct Labor requirement to 1.5 hours of direct labor required to assemble one bicycle. Referenced below is the Inventory Assembly for a Men’s Bicycle. Third – Add Labor and Overhead factors to Inventory AssembliesĪs mentioned earlier, our example company assembles Men’s and Women’s bicycles.
Using the same process as for the Direct Labor factor, here is the Overhead Absorption factor Item set up:Īs you can see above, the only real difference other than the name of the Non-Inventory Items is the Cost and the Expense account, which in this instance was Overhead Variance. This process can be modified to absorb overhead based on machine time or whatever is the key metric driving manufacturing volume. Overhead will be absorbed as a function of direct labor absorption, in that when we capitalize one hour of direct labor, one hour of overhead absorption will be included as well. Similar to the other factor, we wrote an earlier blog post describing how to develop Overhead Absorption factors or rates and determined the per hour rate to be $29.30. The Overhead Absorption factor will be used to absorb overhead costs into the inventory item. Second – Create the Overhead Absorption Factor The keys here are selecting Non-Inventory Item, Cost at $28.47, and choosing a Labor Variance account in Cost of Goods, which will be the account that receives the Credit side of the Build Assembly process. Here is the detail set up for that Labor Absorption factor: To create the Labor Absorption factor, in QuickBooks navigate to Lists - Item List, and select New Item (Cntrl + N). We wrote an earlier post on how to compute direct labor rates and determined that one hour of fully burdened direct labor equals $28.47. The Labor Absorption factor represents the fully burdened direct labor cost, per hour, for an average direct labor employee.
In an early set of articles, we went into detail on how to generate direct labor and overhead rates, as well as how to analyze them during month-end accounting review. The first step before we create the Inventory Assembly in QuickBooks, we need to create the Labor Absorption and Overhead Absorption factors that will be integrated into each assembly. Our manufacturing supervisor estimates that it takes, on average, one of troops 1.5 hours to assemble and test a completed bike. Each bike consists of the 2 brake calipers, 2 brake levers, a frame, a crank, a front wheel, etc. We are going to take you through a fairly simplistic manufacturing scenario, where the main product is bicycles, with just two varieties–Men’s Bicycle and Women’s Bicycle. How to Create Fully Costed BOMs Using QuickBooks First – Creating the Labor Absorption Factor Learn how to overcome weak cost accounting by adding labor and overhead costs to your QuickBooks BOMs which will improve profitability and generate actionable insight into your decision making process. This artificially increases gross margins, as well losing the ability to analyze labor and overhead efficiencies. The impact of not adding labor and overhead costs to QuickBooks BOMs is an understatement of the actual cost of inventory. Nearly without fail, when we engage with a new manufacturing client that is using QuickBooks to build finished goods and subassemblies, the business owner and accounting team are excluding the cost of direct labor and overhead from their BOMs. The Issue - Weak Cost Accounting Processes
