Not sure of the reference in the last paragraph, but I know a company that processes
seafood; clams, lobster, scallops, etc. They track every process so they know exactly what
it cost to produce each product that they sell. The General Ledger had over 1,000
accounts.

Subject: Process accounting - did anyone ever use it?
(Credit the Quotas thread for prompting this.)
Did anyone ever use process accounting? Did they actually bill
departments (funny money)?
I was always intrigued by process accounting, but never had a use for it
myself.
I guess I can thank process accounting for causing the discrepancy that
Cliff Stole tracked down that became The Cuckoo's Egg. :-)
