Intermediate Results Calculations

Production results can be calculated without closing the production order. This leads to intermediate results, which are financial transactions in the range of price-, efficiency- and calculation office variances.

Intermediate results can give you insight in the production order's performance.

You can calculate intermediate results in the Calculate Intermediate Results (ticst0201m100) session.

For various costing settings and production order properties, the parameters and details of the calculation vary. Below several examples are described.

  • End item receipt based on estimates (standard cost)

    The difference between estimated and actual costs result in an efficiency variance and a price variance per cost component, optionally additional calculation office variances can be booked to clear the WIP.

  • Order with project pegging

    Based on the order progress per project peg, the actual production costs are balanced with the actual receipts. This results in additional calculation office variances only.

  • End item receipt based on actual cost without project pegging

    Calculation of results without actual closing of the order is not allowed.

Example

If order completion percentage is based on cost or quantity, the progress of individual operations, determines what portion of the price and/or efficiency variances is booked during production.

3 operations: 10, 20, and 30
10 is at 50% completed, 20 at 30% and 30 at 20%
This means the whole order is at 17% completion.
Variances on operation 10 are booked for 17/50 =34%. Variances for operation 20 for 17/30=56.6% and for operation 30 for 17/20=85%
