A semi-finished product is a product that has already been partially processed but still needs further processing before it can be sold as a finished product. In ERP software, it is often registered as an intermediate product in the production flow, with its own item number, inventory position, and cost, and can be used internally in subsequent operations or sold as a standalone product.

In a production environment, a finished product is the completely manufactured item that is ready for sale to the customer or delivery to the next link in the chain. In ERP software, it is recorded as a sellable item with its own item number, inventory, cost price, and selling price, and it is the outcome of the entire production or assembly process as defined in the bill of materials.

The taskbar of Calculation Management contains several functions that are explained here.
