Calculating Potent Units
Calculating Potent Units
After the part is manufactured (or purchased), it may be stored in multiple locations within multiple warehouses. By using the following calculation, MAC-PAC calculates the balances for the part in the various part/lot/locations in either potent or standard units.

For example, assume that we have two lots that both contain 1,000 gallons of hydrogen peroxide solution. LOT33 has an actual potency of 3%, and LOT34 has an actual potency of 6%. To determine the beginning balance in potent units for each lot, review the following calculations:

Thus, our beginning balance for the two lots equals 3,000 potent units. These scenarios assume that the lot's Available for Planning flag is Y. If the Available for Planning flag is N, however, the potent units balance is always considered to be zero, regardless of the calculated ratio.
