Prerequisites
You have made the required settings in Customizing for Product Cost by Period or Product Cost by Order under Period-End Closing
® Work in Process.In Product Cost by Period:
In Product Cost by Order the settlement rule of the manufacturing order specifies settlement type FUL (full settlement).
Procedure
Result
The system calculates the work in process. The work in process is updated to the product cost collector or manufacturing order under results analysis cost elements.
The screen Calculate Work in Process: List appears. The list contains the value of the work in process of the current period and the cumulative work in process of all periods.
The work in process is shown for each order separately. In joint cost situations (co-products), work in process at actual cost is calculated and shown for the relevant orders separately for each order item.
If you valuate work in process at actual cost and the system calculates negative work in process, the negative work in process will be shown separately from the positive work in process. When you settle, the positive work in process is capitalized in Financial Accounting (FI) in the balance sheet under the unfinished goods inventory. When you settle to FI, negative work in process is shown as a liability in the balance sheet under reserves for unrealized costs.
