No analytic entry is generated finishing one production order

[Ana Juaristi Olalde]

I defined and analytic account on workcenter cycle account and another one on hours account. I defined a manufacturing process with a single operation linked to this workcenter.

I can see these issues:
  1. If you don't set a financial account and a analytic journal associated to work center No analytic line is created. So, if this fields are mandatory to generate analytic movements, they should be modified to mandatory once the analytic account is set on workcenter's cycle account or hours account.
Additionaly, even if you set a financial account, no movements are generated on it.

 2. The analytic line created has got quantity = 0 and product null. There is no way knowing what production order created the analytic movement, so it seems quite difficult obtaining any kind of statistics with these entries, since you could use same work center to produce different products or for different production orders to produce same product. IMHO analitic line should be linked someway to final product and quantity of final product produced but this way, we would loose the analytic account lines object that is invoicing working hours against that analytic account.

 3. Even if your real working hours are set to 0, it always takes the planned hours to calculate the line cost. This is not a very big problem because the order shows the real working hours so, if needed, it's posible changing the value by hand before closing the work but analytic line shows only the total cost and not units taken to calculate cost.

I will go on testing.

Thank you very much:

We are working on a suitable solution.
we will post it soon.

Thanks.

IMHO the correct way of calculating production cost would be as it is on project tasks. This is, we should be able to assign a services product, and one analytic account on each operation defined for a production proccess. Production process should add all operation costs included on it.

The product would have a product_cost so after that system could compute hours/units of cost using this product and time taken from work_order starting and finishing time.

Maybe this new feature could be included for 6.0.

For correct cost calculation on manufacturing order, it's necesary having the possibility of specifying time unit cost for the operation, in a machine for a production process. This is:

Operation cut on machine1 to produce product1, could be different cost of same operation made on machine2 to produce same product1. Same with required time to finish same operation on different machines.

Additionally, there should be a planned cost and a real cost for each product so we could know before starting an order the stimated cost of really producing it.

Hello,

I've reported exactly the same bug few weeks ago... and now I see that it's exists from December 2009!
Why isn't it fixed? It seems rather important...

Regards.

I'm doing complete tests on manufacturing workflow on openerp 6.0 (just updated)

even if i filled out all the accounting related fields + nr of cycles + nr of hours and so on, no analytic entries are generated.
So IMO this issue must have a higher priority

++1 totally agree

Hello,

Is this bug gonna be fixed soon?

Thanks

Hello ,

1) We should make required Analytic Journal and General Account if Hours Account or Cycle Account are specified. so we should use attr in both fields in form view of Work Center.

2) I think, We should add two many2one(product.product) fields 'hour_product_id' and 'cycle_product_id' in work center model.
    hour_prouduct_id : specify Service product which represent planned cost of hours and UOM.
   cycle_product_id: specify Service product which represent planned cost of cycle and UOM.
   after product produce, we can specify these products in analytical entry with no. of hours or no. of cycle with UOM

Thanks

[Harry (OpenERP) (hmo-tinyerp)]

Sorry I'm wrong

one field 'product_id' enough to represent work center cost.
cost of cycle should be calculate base on cost of hour and time per 1 cycle.

Thanks

I confirm point 1,2,3 of ana.
I set importance to low as it's useability improvement.

[Ana Juaristi Olalde (ajuaristio)]

Thank you Fabien...
