Error in "Inventory Valuation Method using Moving Average"

Question

Dear Sir,
Here I am using moving average as inventory valuation method at one of my client. I want to know that in SAP Business One, in case of F.G. valuation we can only get the valuation of Raw Material and not the direct expenses cost.
Can you please tell me how should i put the Direct Expense Cost (e.g. Labor Rate) in F.G. inventory Valuation?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Only the raw material cost will be added to the Cost of the FG based  on the Quantity and price in the BOM.
Ex:
To make Parent Item FG 1 nos , you required 2 nos of Child Item of Rs 10 each,
Create Bom for the same and refresh the cost of the FG (will find a refresh arrow in the Bottom of the BOM -Screen)
Once you Issue child parts to the respective production order and make  a receipt for the Parent Item the cost of the FG will be posted as RS 20
If you want to add the labor cost to the FG there is no direct provision to add the cost in SBO, we have give a work around only as follows.
Create a Service  Item ex.Labor Cost and give the Standard cost for that Item in inventory tab For example for Rs 200/Hr
Now add the Service item (Labor Cost) in the Bill of material and in the Quantity field  give the Time for the labor required is if the Labor Time taken is 30 min to make 1 FG give 0.5 ie (convert the cycle time to Hours and give the decimal value)
then refresh the BOM,
Now the cost of the FG will be 20+100( labor cost) = 120
The above method can be used only if you have determined a standard time of labor to manufacture,
