Stock Conversion settings
This screen lists which costs a stock conversion adds to the value of the items it produces. The options are locked, so you can read them but not change them.
Video coming soon: The Stock Conversion settings screenWhere to find it
Configuration › Item Central › Stock ConversionWhat you see
Page title Stock Conversion: "Choose which costs are capitalised into the stock produced by a conversion." Three rows, each with a lock.
Fields in this section
| Field | In force | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Capitalize Input Material | On | The cost of the input material is included in the produced item's inventory cost. |
| Capitalize Non-Inventory BOM Items | On | Services and consumables on the BOM are included in inventory cost. |
| Capitalize Overheads | Off | Overheads such as labour and utilities are included. If off, they are expensed immediately. |
The switches on screen are drawn greyed out and Off, whatever is in force, because they are locked. The "In force" column above is what a conversion actually uses. There is no Save button, search, tabs, export or import.
What it means for your team
When a stock conversion is done, the cost per unit of the output is the capitalised costs divided by the planned output quantity. With the values above, material and non-inventory BOM costs are in; overheads are not.
Changes would apply to new conversions only.
On mobile
