You can create overhead categories to which you can assign a general business posting group and general product posting group. Then you can assign the overhead categories to an item, and define when the overhead rate applies, and to what location. Assigning an overhead rate category to an item allows the overheads to be broken down across multiple accounts.

To set up overhead rates

  1. Open the Overhead Rates window.

    Navigate to Departments/Manufacturing/Administration/Overhead Rates.

  2. Click New.

  3. In the Code field, enter a code to represent the overhead rate.

  4. Enter a description of the overhead rate.

  5. In the Gen. Bus. Posting Group field, select the general business posting group that will be used when you post transactions that use this overhead rate.

  6. In the Gen. Prod. Posting Group field, select the general product posting groups that will be used when you post transactions that use this overhead rate.

  7. Click OK.
