Understanding resource related production order data in SAP Business One

A production order in SAP Business One contains the following important resource usage related columns:

• Base Qty – The resource quantity needed to produce one item.
• Additional Qty – The resource quantity needed to make the resource operational.
• Planned Qty – The resource quantity needed to produce the planned quantity of the product.
• UoM – The unit of measure specified in the Resource Master Data form for the resource in SAP Business One.
• Production Time – The time it takes for the resource to produce the planned quantity of items, in <h:mm:ss> format.
• Additional Time – The time it takes to make the resource operational, in <h:mm:ss> format.
• Run Time – The total time it takes the resource to produce the planned quantity of items (including the time needed to make the resource operational), in <h:mm:ss> format.

Formally, for a resource:

<planned quantity> = <planned quantity of items to be produced> * <base quantity> + <additional quantity>
<production time> = <planned quantity of items to be produced> * <base quantity>
<run time> = <production time> + <additional time>

The Run Time of a route stage is the greatest of the Run Time values of the resources involved in the route stage.
