Materials Requisition Form
Will E. Delite
Production managers use materials requisition forms to request
materials for manufacturing. This source document is used to
assign materials costs to specific jobs (or to overhead).
Total cost is
transferred to
job cost sheet
for job A-143
Type, quantity, and total cost of
material charged to job A-143.

Employee Time Ticket
A worker uses a time ticket to record the time spent on each job
(or overhead activity). This source document determines
the amount of direct labor that is charged to a job (or
the amount of indirect labor that is charged to overhead).

transferred to
job cost sheet

Editor's Notes

  1. The flow of costs through the manufacturing accounts is basically the same for process and job-order costing. Direct materials, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead are added to Work in Process. When work in process is completed, the costs are transferred to Finished Goods. When finished goods are sold, the costs are transferred to Cost of Goods Sold.
  2. There is a key fundamental difference between process and job-order costing systems. Job-order costing systems trace and apply manufacturing costs to jobs. One Work in Process account is often used to accumulate costs for all jobs. The individual job cost sheets serve as a subsidiary ledger.
  3. In a process costing systems, costs are traced to departments that process the goods. In some companies there may be several processing departments that goods must pass through to become finished goods. A separate Work in Process account is maintained for each processing department. Material, labour, and overhead costs transferred from one department’s Work in Process account to another department’s Work in Process account are called transferred-in costs.
