Number that determines the sequence in which the valuation method is selected for results analysis or for the calculation of work in process (WIP).
Three statuses are relevant for the calculation of work in process at actual costs:
For the valuation methods of status numbers 1 and 2, the system specifies results analysis type F (calculate work in process)
For the valuation methods of status numbers 3 and 4, the system specifies results analysis type Z (cancel data of WIP calculation and results analysis)
To determine the work in process, perform WIP calculation in the period closing process of Product Cost by Order.
If aproduction order or process order has the status REL, for example, the system calculates work in process. When you settle, you pass the work in process to Financial Accounting and Profit Center Accounting according to the posting rules specified in Customizing.
If a production order or process order has the status DLV, the system cancels the work in process when it calculates the WIP during the period closing process. Settlement then cancels the work in process capitalized in Financial Accounting.
