Using Production Orders

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create an production order

Production Order

Diagram showing components of a manufacturing system, including routing, operation control key and work center, standard values, BOM component with input materials and requirement quantities, resulting in a production order with operations and costs.

If you use production orders, the system transfers a routing and a BOM to the master data of the order header.

You can specify the following parameters in Customizing for production, depending on the order type:

  • Selection ID used to select the routing
  • The BOM usage used to select the BOM

Costing relevancy is specified in the routing according to operation, which you can check using the operation control key and the operation details screen. You can also work without a routing. In this case, an operation is generated automatically when you create an order. You can manually assign material components and production resources to this operation.

Costing relevancy is specified in the BOM according to BOM item, which you can check in the BOM item details screen. You can also work without a BOM by assigning the required components to the operations manually.

The BOM and routing can also be selected using a production version.

The control data for Cost Object Controlling such as costing variants, results analysis keys, and variance keys are located on the order header on the Control data tab page.

Create a Production Order

Summary

  • Production orders use a routing and a bill of material for quantity structure.
  • The bill of material and routing can also be selected using a production version.
  • Control data for cost object controlling is located on the order header's control data tab.
  • Settlement type FUL allows variance calculation and order settlement when delivered or complete.
