Yes. Having worked for a small and large vegetable seed company for 10 years, there are many points where a generic manufacturing package would not meet their needs. > > One question I have regarding this would be whether some sort of asset > management and depreciation system would be required for cost > accounting for manufacturing operations. Generally I would think not, unless there are a lot of assets to track. In most cases an accountant would journal these costs into the general ledger. However if there were a large quantity of assets to track I would recommend a "Fixed Asset" package / module. In the LSMB's current state I would recommend creation of the fixed asset module at a later point - if the need was there. > > Best Wishes, > Chris Travers ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
