This means that in repetitive manufacturing no confirmations on the basis of the activity quantities of the preliminary cost estimate are possible.
In repetitive manufacturing, work in process at target costs for a product cost collector with the characteristics Material/Production Plant/Planning Plant is only possible under the following conditions:
You have assigned multiple run schedule headers to a product cost collector with the characteristics Material/Production Plant/Planning Plant. The production version specified in run schedule header 1 specifies a routing with the same task list type and task list group on which the material cost estimate relevant for WIP calculation is based.
The production version specified in run schedule header 2 specifies a routing with a different task list type.
The production version specified in run schedule header 3 specifies a routing with a different task list group.
You enter reporting point backflushes. You perform WIP calculation during the period-end closing activities. The system calculates work in process. The work in process reported shows the value of the work in process for run schedule header 1. The system cannot calculate any work in process for run schedule headers 2 and 3.
