The refurbish activity is used when you have an item in inventory that you want to repair and sell again. The refurbish activity allows you to keep track of the parts, labor, and overhead involved in the refurbishment. The refurbishment activity decrements the material used during the refurbishment from your inventory and transfers the associated costs to the inventory item being refurbished.
The refurbishment activity also transfers the technician’s burden rate times the number of hours to the item being refurbished, as well as any overhead associated with the refurbishment. The inventory item receiving the increased cost holds the inventory value until you sell the item and then posts to cost of goods sold.
While you can use the refurbishment activity for updating and for older equipment, you can also use this activity to add supplies to new machines.
