There are two different types of usage in Inventory Management: unplanned and planned usage. The planned usage is updated when material is taken from the warehouse as a result of a reservation. Unplanned usage is updated when material is taken without a reservation being on hand.
Total usage is the sum of planned and unplanned usage.

The following key figures can be evaluated with regard to usage:

• Number of times for unplanned usage

• Unplanned usage quantity

• Total usage value

The average values are calculated when the standard analysis for the designated time period is carried out.

• Average unplanned usage quantity
  The average unplanned usage quantity is calculated by dividing the unplanned usage quantity and the number of times used.

• Average unplanned usage value
  The average unplanned usage value is calculated by dividing the unplanned usage value and the number of time for unplanned usage.
