COMMENTS

  • It is recommended that parts sales be costed on an item-by item basis at the time of sale, since this method produces the most accurate cost of sales data and provides the best control of inventory. If parts sales are costed on the basis of estimated categories, percentages used should be verified by test checks of actual item costs over a 30-60 day period every six months. Office Management contains additional information on costing methods.
  • Accounts 1411-1419 may be used to control various types of parts, such as maintenance parts, body parts, accessories, etc.
  • Freight on parts purchased should be charged to Account 7671, Freight—Parts.
  • At least annually, a physical inventory should be taken and the balance in this account adjusted to the physical inventory value through Account 1430, Allowance for Parts Inventory Adjustments—Non FoMoCo.
