The method Inventory Determination “WIP at Actual Costs” for Objects Not Carrying Revenue calculates the value of the inventories from the difference between the debit and credit of an object.

If the debit is greater than the credit, the system creates work in process in the amount of the difference.

If the debit is less than the credit, the system creates reserves for unrealized costs in the amount of the difference.
