In our legacy system before we migrated to Acumatica, we could tack warranty expenses relating to a specific production order. I have not found anyway to do this in Acumatica. Currently, we expense any warranty cost to a GL so we can keep track of overall warranty expenses. But, it would be nice to be able to attribute a warranty expense to a production order in some manner other than noting the Production Number or SN in the description or the expense transaction.

 

Has anyone had the same thoughts or found a solution/ISV to solve this problem?

Here is a possible solution plan which would allow you to record warranty cost without customizations and would result in draft GL entries for accounting review.  

 

Step 1

Record Warranty Expenses using one of the two options below:

  1. Use a production order attribute to log this information. 
  2. Wait for the User Defined Fields feature to exist for manufacturing edition as mentioned by @angierowley75 in the post below. (be sure to read the comments, the idea was rejected however the important UDF element remains) 

 

Step 2

Use the following steps to convert your recorded Warranty Expenses to a draft GL entry automatically. 

  1. Create a GI with the warranty information. 
  2. Create a business event that monitors the GI and creates draft GL entries with the recorded warranty information.  
  3. Create a GI of the draft GL entries for review by an accounting team member making adjustments and posting as necessary. 

Hope this helps!

@nathantrauscht You can try using Non-stock item to track warranty expense specific to Production order.
