What is target qty in process /production orders?

Question

Hi Experts,
I am doing a report that needs to display the quantity and costs (target / planned / actual) of each component in the process /production orders. Through tcode COR3 --> given a process order# --> Goto -- > Costs, I can see total target qty / total planned qty / total actual qty for each component. But I can only find planned qty and actual qty from tables COSS, COSP, RESB.  Where to get target qty ?
Can anybody explain to me what is exactly the target qty? Any tables to get target qty? Or any FM to get target qty?
Thanks a lot.

Dear,
Definition: target costs                                                                               
Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)                                                                               
The costs expected to be incurred when a specific quantity is produced.                                                                               
In Cost Object Controlling, the target costs are calculated on the basis 
    of the planned values of a service unit (such as the planned cost of a   
    production order) and the control quantities (such as the yield          
    delivered to stock).                                                                               
Target costs can be used for purposes such as:                                                                               
o   To determine variances                                                                               
o   To valuate work in process                                                                               
Total Target Costs                                                                               
Total value of the target costs.                                                                               
Calculated with the following formula:                                                                               
Total target costs = Target cost debit + Target cost credit.                                                                               
Use                                                                               
Target costs are the planned costs adjusted to the actual operating    
    rate.                                                                               
The target debit on a manufacturing order is the sum of the            
    activity-independent planned debit of the order and the                
    activity-dependent planned debit of the order multiplied by the actual 
    quantity of the order.                                                                               
The target credit of a manufacturing order results from the goods      
    receipt postings to stock. The delivered actual quantity is valuated   
    with the planned price according to the price control.                                                                               
The total value of the target costs is the sum of the target debit and  
    the target credit.                                                                               
The target costs are calculated during variance calculation and updated 
    to the database.                                                                               
The target costs cannot be shown until you have performed variance      
    calculation for this target cost version. The target credit for the     
    calculation of the total variances and production variances cannot be   
    calculated until an actual quantity for an order exists after a goods   
    receipt posting.                                                                               
For the calculation of variances, the target costs are compared with the
    control costs.                                                                               
Dependencies                                                                               
The calculation of target costs depends on the selected target cost     
    version.
