WIP variance for training or supervised production runs.

Hello Boyum Team,

We have identified a recurring requirement across several manufacturing implementations regarding the handling of WIP variance for training or supervised production runs.

Business Scenario:Manufacturers frequently use standard production environments to train new operators. Currently, this variance hits the standard production variance accounts, skewing performance analytics and requiring manual journal entry reclassifications by the finance team to isolate training costs.

Proposed Standard Feature:We propose implementing a conditional logic parameter during the Work Order Close / WIP clearing process.

• Trigger Condition: The system scans the BEAS_ARBZEIT (Time Receipts) table for the specific Work Order prior to generating the final WIP variance journal entry. If at least one time receipt record contains data in a designated UDF (for example, an "Instructor ID" or "Training Flag"), the entire WO is flagged internally.
• Account Override: If this flag is TRUE, the total WIP variance for that WO is redirected from the standard calculation schema/configuration wizard account to a designated G/L account (e.g., "Training WIP Variance"). If FALSE, standard posting procedes.

Looking forward to your thoughts on this.
