Labor Codes

Form ID: (AM206500)

Labor codes specify the labor credit GL accounts for direct labor and the credit and overhead accounts for indirect labor. Labor codes are used for labor reporting on the Labor (AM301000) form and are defaulted from the code specified on the Work Centers (AM207000) form. Labor can also be backflushed automatically when reporting operations. You must define at least one labor code with a type of Direct to support labor reporting and backflushing. Additional codes can be created for different credit and overhead accounts.
