Cost of Good Sold

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to establish the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) calculation method for your project. You can select from nine COGS calculation methods.

You can create a COGS entry for work-in-process projects using the Compute Cost of Goods Sold Entry screen (Projects\Process\Project). That entry is created using the calculation method and other variables that are set up in this screen.  Work-in-process projects are used when the project’s costs should be capitalized on the balance sheet and portions of the capitalized costs are periodically transferred to the income statement using one of the calculation methods in the screen. You should enter data in this screen only if  the selection in the Project Classification field in the Basic Info or Maintain Project Master screen is "Work In Process" or "Common Inv."

You must be sure that any COGS setup made at this level of a project coincides with the setup of account numbers that have a function code of "Cost Goods Sold" and "WIP Trans Out" in the project’s account group.  COGS will be posted at the level of a project where the formula resides, and account numbers and related function codes must be available for that posting at the same level. You cannot enter data in this screen unless accounts with the function codes of "Cost Goods Sold" and "WIP Trans Out" have been set up for the project. Failure to do so will result in an error message during the Compute Cost of Goods Sold Entry process.  You can review the accounts and their related function codes in the Project Account Groups screen.  The account group for the project is assigned in the Account Group field in the Basic Info or Project Master screen.

When should I use this screen?

Use this screen during the initialization of a project, whenever a Cost of Goods Sold calculation is required. Additional maintenance of the data in this screen is required only when one of the variables changes.

Field Descriptions

Identification

Project

Enter, or use Lookup to select, a valid project for which to enter data. This is a required field. The non-editable field to the right displays the project name.

Cost of Goods Sold Details

Use the fields in this block to enter the calculation method and the basis for COGS transfer.

Calculation Method

Use this drop-down box to select one of the methods for calculating COGS:

Basis for COGS Transfer

Use the fields in this group box to enter estimated total value, estimated costs, ITD loss recognized, fixed monthly amount, and percent of estimated costs. The values entered in these fields are used in the calculation of COGS.

Estimated Total Value

Use this field to enter the estimated total value of the project.  You must enter an amount in this field if you are using the “Billed Amount, Estimate at Completion,” “Billed Amount, Estimate to Complete,” “Delivery Amount, Estimate at Completion,” or the “Delivery Amount, Estimate to Complete” COGS calculation method. The system will assume that you want the estimated total value to equal the total modifications entered for the project and will automatically update this field with all new modifications if you enter the same total value amount that is displayed in the Project Values table. The system will not perform this automatic update if you enter an amount that is different from the total values amount in the Project Values table, and you will have to manually update this field whenever you enter a new modification.

Estimated Costs

Use this field to enter the total estimated costs of the project.  You must enter an amount in this field if you are using the “Billed Amount, Estimate at Completion,” “Billed Amount, Estimate to  Complete,” “Delivery Amount, Estimate at Completion,” “Delivery Amount, Estimate to Complete,” or “Percent of Costs” COGS calculation method. The system will assume that you want the estimated total value to equal the total modifications entered for the project and will automatically update this field with all new modifications if you enter the same total value amount that is displayed in the Project Values table. The system will not perform this automatic update if you enter an amount that is different from the total values amount in the Project Values table and you will have to manually update this field whenever you enter a new modification.

ITD Loss Recognized

Use this field to enter the ITD loss recognized for the project.  You must enter an amount in this field if you are using the "Billed Amount, Estimate at Completion," "Billed Amount, Estimate to  Complete," "Delivery Amount, Estimate at Completion," or the "Delivery Amount, Estimate to Complete" COGS calculation method. This amount is used to calculate the COGS Transfer when a loss is to be recognized up-front, instead of being pro-rated throughout the life of the project. This field is not required.

Fixed Monthly Amount

Use this field to enter the fixed monthly amount that you want to use for the COGS transfer each month. This field is available only when you have selected the "Fixed Monthly Amount" Calculation Method.

Percent of Estimated Costs/Percent of Revenue

Use this field to enter the percent of estimated costs or percent of revenue to be used for the COGS calculation. This field is available only when you have selected the "Percent of Costs," "Percent of ITD Revenue," or "Percent of Current Year Revenue" Calculation Method.

Note:  The title of this field varies according to the calculation method.
