Re: [GNC] GNC] Question about Assemblies
David, Derek described a way to handle a (simple) retail business with GnuCash. Manufacturing is another matter entirely and involves an accounting specialty named Cost Accounting. Enterprise resource planning, or ERP, is one flavor of cost accounting widely used in many industries. There are others, for example the integrated circuits industry uses a system called standard cost accounting. ERP doesn't work because aside from the wafers only tiny amounts of some of the process inputs actually end up in the product so it's not possible to create a meaningful BOM. In standard cost accounting each step in the process is assigned a standard cost and WIP accumulates the standard costs for each step in the process. There are a few open-source ERP packages available. GnuCash is definitely not one of them and doesn't aspire to be.

Depending on the inventory and assembly 'recipe' complexity, this can be done in a spreadsheet. GnuCash can import transactions, so this spreadsheet can create an 'import sheet' version of the final data as transactions to be imported - no need for manual entry.

To do this semi manually in Excel and then use the result to make a journal to GnuCash could be a lot of work depending on the number of transactions. Yes, *if* it includes inventory management though GnuCash does not. But that doesn't mean it can't handle the accounting of inventory. Stand-alone inventory management software will generate the necessary transactions according to the above considerations to import to any accounting package as will point of sale software. Sometimes, all three functions (as well as Payroll, and other features) are shoehorned into one piece of software. Those either cost a small fortune, if not a hefty subscription, and/or turn out to be not so great at one or more of those 'modules'. When you say "Similarly, when you make a Customer Invoice, you can pull from an Asset instead of Income", this would not be correct. The sale must still be an income account, (Cr Income/ Dr Receivables)and you would need a further entry, the one I describe above, to calculate the cost of the inventory reduction and record cost of sales as an expense. Correct. You're describing a Point of Sale (POS) system, another entity entirely. Some may have integrated G/L accounting, but not all, and the better systems simply offer the relevant transactions for export/import to real accounting software. GnuCash's Business Features are somewhat flexible in the use cases they can serve, but they don't shine as a retail/manufacturing POS and are geared more toward 'service' type industries. On the maintenance of recipes , all major accounting/ERP systems designed for manufacturing have bill of materials, sometimes called recipes or formulations in process industries. Just replace no of items with litres, kg or whatever. However, GnuCash makes no pretence to be an ERP system in a manufacturing environment, and is great at what it does. I do see though that SAGE has a Bill of Materials System: " Bill of Materials Monitor, control, and cost your manufacturing processes for businesses involved in light manufacturing assembly, helping to simplify complex process and analysis. Includes using multiple BOMs with different options for sub-assembly builds, stock, or multiple units of measure." What you have described above is really separate software: -General Ledger Accounting GnuCash is this. Other related software would handle separately: -Payables & Receivables -Payroll -Investments -Loans & Notes -Budgeting GnuCash includes these in some form, but maybe not full-fledged. Then there are packages like: -Customer Relationship Management (CRM) -Managerial Analysis -E-commerce etc. GnuCash doesn't include those at all. And those are just the generic types. Consider that a service business might want to track service calls/tickets, time spent on the job, time spent in travel, expenses for travel and incidentals, etc. Now, we wouldn't think GnuCash should include all of that industry-specific related functionality, right? This is analogous to the retail/manufacturing specific functions: Purchases & Acquisitions Inventory Management Manufacturing & Production Point of Sale All separate., though interrelated, functions, that sometimes are in the same software package, sometimes not, and not included in GnuCash.

So having an inventory system is a requisite for an accounting package to be "half-decent"? Huh? The "Job" feature of GnuCash was an attempt as a purchase-order solution. There was also the concept of an "Order" (which was an attempt at something between a PO and a Quote), but those were never completely finished and I believe have since been removed. That notwithstanding, I would argue an accounting program is NOT the right place to maintain recipes. > David > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Question about Assemblies
Fred, please be sure to always copy the list address on all replies so the discussion stays on the list. That way, others can benefit from the discussion, as well as chime in and help out. Also keep in mind, we don't give accounting advice here. If you need such advice, you need the services of an accountant. But once you know 'what' to do, we can help you with the 'how to do it in GnuCash.' - I am not familiar with Sage so I can't explain how GnuCash works in reference to what you were doing before. There is no inventory management in GnuCash. You can set up accounts to track the *value* of your inventory, but not the quantity. (at least not out of the box, and without lots of work) You should make entries when you purchase ingredients/materials. Then you should make entries when you assemble or make something from those. Then you make more entries when you sell the assembled products. Basic Accounting Generic Examples - When you purchase ingredients for soap: Dr. Assets:Inventory:Raw Materials Cr. Assets:Bank This 'moves' money from your bank account to 'Raw Materials'. (which is now in the form of Inventory, so this records the value of that inventory) When you make the soap: Dr. Assets:Inventory:Work In Progress Cr. Assets:Inventory:Raw Materials This moves that value from Raw Materials to inventory 'in production' but not yet finished. (this step may be optional for you if the time involved in production is rather short, like one day or less and you package as part of the basic production process.) When you package the final product ready for sale: Dr. Assets:Inventory:Finished Goods Cr. Assets:Inventory:Work In Progress This moves the value from 'in production' to its final state as a Saleable Good or Finished Product. When you sell a finished product: Dr. Assets:Cash Cr. Revenue:Sales Dr. Expenses:Costs of Goods Sold Cr. Assets:Inventory:Finished Goods For this last one, the value of the first two splits should be equal, and the value of the last two splits should be equal. (but they will of course be less than the first two, or else you aren't making a profit!) The first two splits record the receipt of payment (could be 'Undeposited Funds' if by Credit Card or Paper Check instead of 'Cash') and 'recognizes' the revenue earned. (by type, in this case 'Sales Revenue') The second two splits move the value of the inventory sold out of inventory entirely, and records it as an expense of doing business. (which will eventually be subtracted from revenue to obtain 'income', Revenue - Expenses = Income) The Profit & Loss Report or Income Statement Report (same report - different names) will handle that math for you. Your actual transactions may differ, but this is a 'big picture' overview of the generic inventory-to-sales process. -- The math for figuring out the value of raw materials that go into a product that you'll need for making those 'in progress'/'finished goods' entries in GnuCash is something you're going to have to setup outside of GnuCash in a spreadsheet or other inventory management software. If you like, it is possible to export the result from the spreadsheet or other software into GnuCash so you don't have to manually cross-enter anything. If you only have one or a small handful of products you only need do the math by hand once, and then you can just duplicate those transactions changing the dates. You can also put in the Memo fields the proportions of each ingredient as a reminder, then enter that as a math equation in the transaction instead of just a final number. GnuCash can do the calculations for you. -- There are no shortcuts if you're going to do your own accounting. You just have to learn it. It really isn't difficult, and you don't have to learn 'all' of accounting, just what you need for your business. (and you won't learn it all at once, most likely, as you find out you need to know it) Accounting is not about difficult or fancy math. The hard part is learning 'how to account' properly for your activity. That's it. Regards, Adrien On Mar 17, 2022 w12d76, at 10:20 AM, Frederick wrote: Hi Adrian, thanks for your response.

Re: [GNC] Question about Assemblies
If you're looking for 'inventory control/manangement' or 'item tracking' by quantity, no, GnuCash can't do it. (out of the box) Some people have finagled it to do so using user-defined commodity accounts, but that seems like more trouble than it is worth. Inventory management should be done in a separate app and the resulting monetary values imported into GnuCash for accounting. If you just want to track monetary-value of your inventory, yes, absolutely, GnuCash can handle that, be it parts, assemblies, etc. A good accounting reference on manufacturing accounting will show you the transaction entries for acquiring the raw material inventory, and then moving inventory from raw materials, to work in progress, to finished goods, then cost of goods sold and revenue. Here's a good start: https://www.principlesofaccounting.com/ But there are plenty of others online and in your nearest library. Especially consider college texts for basic and 2nd level accounting.

There are other meanings of build that software developers use. When I make an invoice I can invoice different items. I can invoice Time, different types of Service, and different Goods.

If someone can let me know if builds are easily possible with gnucash and direct me to literature on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated. take care, fred ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
