Define repetitive manufacturing profiles

In this step, you define the repetitive manufacturing profile. Via the order type, the repetitive manufacturing profile controls whether repetitive manufacturing with production orders (variant 1) or repetitive manufacturing with cost collector variant 2) is to be used:

• In the first variant of repetitive manufacturing, the system creates run schedule headers without cost collectors; the data and costs incurred in production are assigned to the run schedule header and are settled. The order type here is, SA.

• In the second variant of repetitive manufacturing, the system creates run schedule headers with cost collectors; all the costs incurred in production are assigned to the cost collector where they are also settled. Production orders are not required. Two order types exist here:

• PKSA

This order type controls that the cost collector is created automatically when creating the run schedule header.

• PKMN

This order type controls that the cost collector is created manually in the CO system.

The repetitive manufacturing profile is recorded in the material master record. Thus, you can decide which variant of repetitive manufacturing is to be used per material.
