Assembly Unbuild Variance Posting
Assembly item unbuilds could generate a difference between the item cost at assembly time and the item cost at unbuild time. In the assembly item record Unbuild Variance field, select an account for posting variance amounts.
For example, when you unbuild an assembly, each component is restocked and the item cost for each component is calculated. Any variance between the assembly cost and the unbuild cost posts to the selected Unbuild Variance account on the item record for that assembly.
If no variance account is selected for an assembly item, variance amounts for that item post to the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) account.
To set the variance account for an item:
-
To open the assembly item record, go to Lists > Accounting > Item.
-
In the Unbuild Variance Account field, select the account where you want to post variance amounts.
-
Click Save.
