Further Notes:
Sales-Order-Relation Production
- To enable goods movements to take place
through the sales order stock, you must select a requirements class that
specifies an account assignment category that specifies that goods movements
take place through the
sales order stock ( Special stock
field).
Goods movements will
take place through the sales order stock if the entry in the
Special stock field is E (order
stock).
In
sales-order-related production, goods movements should take place through the
sales order stock.
- To be able to collect costs on a sales order
item, you must select a requirements class that specifies an account
assignment category that allows costs and revenues to be collected on a sales
order item (Consumption posting field).
Collecting costs and
revenues on the sales order item is allowed when the entry in the
Consumption posting field is E (settlement
through sales order).
Collecting costs and
revenues on the sales order item is recommended in complex make-to-order
production.
In the standard
system, the account assignment category is E. If you are
using account assignment category 'E', materials are managed in order
inventory (entry 'E' in indicator special stock )
and the sales order item is defined as carrying costs and revenues (entry 'E'
in indicator consumption posting).
- You make no entry in the
Consumption posting field if you are using a valuated sales
order stock and don't want to flag the sales order item (item in an inquiry,
quotation, or sales order) as carrying costs and revenues. This is especially
recommended in mass production on the basis of sales orders.
In the standard
system, the account assignment category is M.
You specify whether the sales order inventory
is valuated or
nonvaluated in the requirements class with the
Valuation indicator.
If you use a nonvaluated sales order stock, you
always flag the sales document item as carrying costs and revenues because
otherwise it is not possible to valuate your inventories.
You can also carry materials from make-to-stock
production in a sales order item that carries costs and revenues. This is
recommended for replacement parts that are delivered for a material of the
sales order stock and are withdrawn from the non-customer inventory. Here you
enter E in the consumption posting field (settlement through
sales order). In the standard system the account assignment category is
B.
The other entries are irrelevant for Cost
Object Controlling.
If you want to use sales orders, you should
also check whether the Sales documents indicator is
turned on for each fiscal year in the controlling area.
