ESTIMATE TO COMPLETE (ETC) PERCENTAGE METHOD

For partial relief costing method of Item Last, Item Project Last, Item Standard, and Item Project Standard, relief costs will be at face value from ITEM_CST or ITEM_PROJ_CST tables.

For Estimate to Complete (ETC) percentage calculations, below is an example:

Use ETC Percentage

If the manufacturing order (MO) build quantity = 10 with non-backflush and backflush components, and a relief is done using different relief quantities and ETC percentages, the scenario is as follows:

 

Non-backflush Component

Backflush Component

Required quantity

20

20

Required quantity per relief quantity

NA

20/10=2

Unit cost

5

10

Issued quantity

10

NA

Issued cost

10 x 5=50

NA

Issued cost multiplied by issued quantity

NA

10 x Issued quantity

 

If sufficient backflush quantity exists, then Issued cost = 10 x 2 = 20 (if relief quantity = 1), 10 x 4 = 40 (if relief quantity = 2), and so on.

If sufficient backflush quantity does not exist, only the available quantity is issued, and issued cost is based on the issued quantity.

Partial Relief Using Partial Relief Costing Method of "Use of ETC for Remaining Quantities":

If ETC = 100%, it means that you are estimating that the remaining nine (9) unrelieved quantities are 100% complete, meaning the number of completed equivalent units = (9x1) + 1 (this relief) = 10. The unit cost for non-backflush component will then be 50/10 = 5.  Using a similar calculation for other ETC%, along with backflush costs added, you get the following examples:

Relief Quantity

Unrelieved Quantity

ETC%

Equivalent Units Completed

Total (Non-backflush + Backflush) Unit Cost

(9 x 1)+1=10

(50+20)/10=7
