Actual and Target YTD Burden Rates

You must run the process on the Compute Inventory Burden Rates screen to calculate the actual and target YTD burden rates for all inventory account/organizations and, for inventory, those account/organizations found in inventory abbreviations.

In turn, these rates populate an Inventory Burden Summary table, where they are used to calculate burden amounts for inventory parts based on the inventory abbreviation account/organizations in which they are charged. The actual and target YTD burden rates are used to:

  • Value inventory upon receipt (if raw material is to be burdened at receipt)
  • Value finished goods parts upon relief on a Manufacturing Order
  • Recalculate burden when certain transfers occur
  • Periodically calculate WIP variance

Depending on the type of inventory abbreviation being affected, running the Post Inventory Journal screen in Costpoint Inventory can post burden dollars for the following transactions:

  • Manufacturing Order Reliefs (in Costpoint Production Control)
  • Inventory Transfers (in Costpoint Inventory)
  • Inventory Issues and Adjustments (in Costpoint Inventory)

In all cases, only transactions involving asset inventory abbreviations can cause burden dollars to affect the General Ledger in the Inventory Journal process.
