In this step you define a valuation method for the calculation of work in process.
This creates the link between the controlling area, the results analysis key, the results analysis version, and the system status.
When you create new valuation methods, you specify whether the work in process should be valuated at target costs or actual costs.
- Work in Process at Target Costs
In the Product Cost by Period component the work in process is valuated at target costs. The valuation is made on the basis of the quantities confirmed at the opertions or reporting points.
The system determines the following in each period:
- Which materials were delivered to stock
- Which materials were confirmed at the operations
- Which materials and activities are not included in WIP calculation due to scrap confirmations at subsequent operations
In the period-end closing activities in the Product Cost by Period component, the relevant quantities (WIP quantities) are valuated according to the valuation variant for work in process and scrap (target costs) and reported as work in process.
- Work in Process at Actual Costs
In the Product Cost by Order component the work in process is normally valuated at actual costs. The value of the work in process is the difference between the debit and the credit of an order as long as the order has the status PREL (partially released) or REL (released).
The valuation method for WIP calculation is linked to a system status.
Work in process at actual costs
The following status codes are relevant for WIP calculation in this component:
- PREL
The order is partially released.
- REL
The order is released.
- DLV
The order has been completely delivered.
- TECO
The order is technically completed.
If the status is PREL or REL, the system creates work in process in the amount of the actual costs with which the order is debited.
If the status is DLV or TECO, the system cancels the work in process. The difference between the debit through actual costs postings and the actual credit of the order from goods receipts is interpreted as a variance with this status.
If you want to calculate the work in process at actual costs, create a valuation method for each combination of controlling area, results analysis version, and results analysis key for the statuses that are relevant to WIP calculation. This valuation method must specify the following:
- How the work in process should be calculated when the order status is PREL
- How the work in process should be calculated when the order status is REL
- How the work in process should be calculated when the order status is DLV
- How the work in process should be calculated when the order status is TECO
If you valuate the work in process at actual costs, you must make sure that the work in process that is created and settled in a period can be canceled at a later time. You do this by defining valuation methods for the cancellation.
Proceed as follows:
- For the status PREL, enter status number "1". The system generates a valuation method of results analysis type F (calculate work in process).
- For the status REL, enter status number "2". The system generates a valuation method of results analysis type F (calculate work in process).
- For the status DLV, enter status number "3". The system generates a valuation method of results analysis type Z (cancel data of WIP calculation and results analysis).
- For the status TECO, enter the status number "4". The system generates a valuation method of results analysis type Z (cancel data of WIP calculation and results analysis).
Data calculated with a valuation method of results analysis type F is passed to Financial Accounting in accordance with the settings in the posting rules when you settle. In Financial Accounting this data is capitalized as unfinished products inventory.
Data calculated with a valuation method of results analysis type Z results in cancellation of the capitalized inventories of unfinished products in Financial Accounting when you settle.
The valuation method for the status TECO ensures that the work in process for orders can be canceled if the orders never reach the status DLV.
Work in process at target costs
In the Product Cost by Period component, the status management functionality is reduced. In the Product Cost by Period component, the following statuses are relevant in WIP calculation:
- PREL
The order is partially released. An order is partially released for which the individual operations are released.
- REL
The order is released
When an order has the status PREL and REL, in the Product Cost by Period component the system creates work in process by multiplying the WIP quantity by the target costs in accordance with the valuation variant for work in process and scrap (target costs).
If you want to calculate work in process at target costs, then for each combination of controlling area, results analysis version, and results analysis key, you must specify a valuation method for the statuses relevant to WIP calculation.
Proceed as follows:
- For the status PREL, enter the status number 1. The system generates a valuation method of results analysis type S (calculate work in process based on the target costs).
- For the status REL, enter status number 2. The system generates a valuation method of results analysis type S (calculate work in process based on the target costs).
Transfer Prices
If you are using multiple valuation views in the Product Cost by Order component for the calculation of work in process at actual costs, the system automatically assigns the valuation method assigned to the results analysis version of the operational valuation view to the results analysis versions of the multiple valuation views referencing the operational results analysis version.
Requirements
You must already have processed the following steps:
- Define results analysis keys
- Define results analysis versions
- Check control data for repetitive manufacturing profiles
You must have specified in the repetitive manufacturing profile that reporting point quantities can be collected.
Standard settings
The standard system contains predefined methods of WIP calculation.
Recommendation
Activities
Define new valuation methods as follows:
Specify the following:
- Controlling area
- Results analysis version
- Results analysis key
- System status
- Status number (see also Status number for WIP calculation and results analysis)
- Indicator for the definition of the cutoff period
