💡 Accountant's Note

Plating solutions (Copper, Tin, or Silver) used in WLP are moved from raw materials to WIP as they are consumed in the electroplating baths.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

Use an automated inventory relief system triggered by the plating tool's batch completion signals.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Significant variances between theoretical consumption based on wafer count and actual liquid level monitoring.

📄 Required Documentation

Chemical bath analysis logs and manufacturing execution system (MES) wafer throughput reports.
