Chris Collins gives a short introduction to the accounting concept of "unapplied labor," noting that practices vary across accounting offices and that unusual items (e.g., salespeople, porters, advertising, shop tools) sometimes appear in unapplied labor. He advises obtaining a detailed list of applied/unapplied labor charges from the office manager or accounting contact to understand what is being charged.
If you don't understand what unapplied labor is, this will be a, you know, this will be a good introduction for you. It isn't going to hit everything because some.
Some accounting offices do things different. I've, I've, I've seen salespeople in unapplied labor. What's the, what's the oddest stuff you've seen in unapplied labor? Porters, salespeople, advertising. Advertising, shop tools. I don't know that I've ever seen that, but I believe it.
So the first part of this is you really should get a detailed list of what is charged applied labor, which if you've never done that before, you can just ask whoever is the office manager or does the accounting, hey, can I see the detail? That's how you board it, the detail for unapplied labor.
