WIP Quantity Formula

• WIP Quantity = (Actual Consumption Quantity - Planned Consumption Quantity) * (Actual Receipt Quantity / Planned Receipt Quantity)

Understanding the Formula Components

1. Actual Consumption Quantity:

   • This is the actual quantity of the item under:
     • Confirmations or
     • Goods Issues
   • Use this value to calculate WIP based on your purpose (e.g., confirmation process or input material processing).

2. Planned Consumption Quantity:

   • This is the planned quantity of the item under:
     • Confirmations or
     • Goods Issues
   • Again, select values depending on whether you're calculating WIP for confirmation or input material.

3. Actual Receipt Quantity:

   • This is the actual quantity recorded for the output material under the Goods Receipt folder.

4. Planned Receipt Quantity:

   • This is the planned quantity for the output material, also located in the Goods Receipt folder.

Example Scenario:

• To calculate WIP for period 001/2026:

  • Select the relevant period in Set Parameters.
  • Retrieve Actual Consumption Quantity for Confirmations or Goods Issues based on your calculation objective.
  • Retrieve Planned Consumption Quantity for the same item type (Confirmations/Goods Issues).
  • Retrieve Actual Receipt Quantity and Planned Receipt Quantity for the output material.

• Plug these values into the formula above:

  • WIP Quantity = (Actual Consumption Quantity - Planned Consumption Quantity) * (Actual Receipt Quantity / Planned Receipt Quantity).

This is standard behavior as system design.
