Check Order Types

Here you check the control parameters for the

order types . The order type depends on the client. That is, any order type can be used in any controlling area and plant.

The following parameters are relevant for the production order and for the process order:

Production orders in the Production Planning module have order category 10.
Production orders without a quantity structure (production orders in CO) have order category 04.
Process orders have order category 40.
The order categories are predefined in the standard system. They characterize the technical attributes of your orders. For example, the order category determines the functions you can use when processing an order.
When allocating costs between orders and other CO objects (such as cost centers or projects), you can specify that the partner information should be recorded and that the system is to write a totals record for each order. To be able to see information in Cost Object Controlling on which partner objects were credited (such as which cost center was credited by an activity allocation for an order), set the CO partner update to "partially active".
You can specify that orders of this order type are to be classified. As a rule, it is not necessary to classify orders. See the Cost Object Controlling Information System documentation in the R/3 Library for more information.
You must activate the commitments management function explicitly for each order type.
In the settlement profile you specify the settlement receivers for this order type. You can also assign a settlement profile to an order type at a later time.
If you use collective orders, you can decide whether automatic goods movements should take place for the collective order. SAP recommends the use of collective orders with automatic goods movements, which is the default system setting.
Note:
The full functionality of
Cost Object Controlling is only available when goods movements take place within the collective order.
Here you define how long your orders are to remain in the system before they are archived.
You must assign each order type to a number range.
An order can have multiple statuses. The status controls which business transactions are allowed on the order.
For a detailed description of the different status management options, see the Extended Help under Internal Orders . (Extended Help can only be accessed from the application.)
The function area in the order is always taken from the order type of the manufacturing order (never from the sales order or project). The function area can be changed manually in the manufacturing order as long as no movement data (for example, goods movements or cost postings) exist for the order.
Not the following:
When you assign a manufacturing order to a product cost collector, the function area of the product cost collector is taken over by the system in the master data of the manufacturing order. In this case, the function area in the master data of the manufacturing order can no longer be changed.
You can find more information on the function area in the SAP library under FI-> Cost-of-Sales Accounting.

For production orders in CO (production orders without a quantity structure) you can also set the following parameters:

The field attributes define the fields of an order as display fields, input fields, or hidden fields. For more information, see the Implementation Guide for Overhead cost orders.
This defines such things as what
costing variant appears as a default in preliminary costing .

Actions

1. Check the supplied order types to see if they meet your requirements.
2. If necessary, contact the project team for production orders, process orders, or overhead cost orders and define new order types jointly with them.
