Would you consider Supply Chain/Purchasing Wages to be indirect labor? I feel like the accounting principles are a bit grey in terms of what you can and cannot include within the costing of inventory.
Quick Question - Indirect Labor
Answers
I would treat them as indirect labor. They are not directly involved in the manufacture of a WIP or Finished Good. They are part of the team, such as administration, janitors and delivery truck drives that aid in the business, but not the manufacturing line.
