Posting non-stock and other expenses

(One-off Works Orders Only)

You can post most costs using the Stock, Operation Times and Timesheets routines. Use the Non-Stock/Other Expenses option to post costs which cannot be entered elsewhere in the system, against one-off works orders. For example, petty cash payments or purchases of items not processed through the Purchase Ledger.

If you select a nominal account to post non-stock and other expenses to, in Manufacturing System Manager Nominal Settings, these postings will update the Nominal Ledger.

You can enter negative costs to amend non-stock costs you have posted previously.

Since the cost types Operation Times and Stock Items are entered under their own headings, only two cost types are available here, Non-Stock Items and Other Expenses. If non-stock itemsItems which do not have a product record set up in Stock Control. Such items are usually bought for a specific job. are processed through the Purchase Ledger, they would be entered under Purchase Invoices.
