Expense pools and accounting

Create expense pools for overhead categories, show the pool's role in absorption — which the cost planning module's overhead rates then drive — review the accounting setup, which accounts inventory, WIP, variances and absorption post to, show the mapping to the chart of accounts, and show a subinventory-level account override. This is the seam with the general ledger. Every account here must exist in the client's chart of accounts, and must be one Finance agreed to. If the chart does not have the detail costing needs, that is the enterprise prerequisites conversation, arriving late and expensive — which is precisely why that module said to raise it in week two. If you took the Financials course, this is where the two meet: the transaction-to-accounting map from the landscape module ends here. Get the account mapping signed by Finance alongside the costing design. One signature, both documents.
