Settling a Make-to-Order Transaction 

To settle an make-to-order item, that is, to assign the costs incurred to the appropriate receiving accounts, proceed as follows:

  1. On the Sales screen, choose Sales order ® Subsequent functions ® Settlement.
  2. Enter the sales order and the item number and carry out the settlement. You can carry out a selection of sales orders to be settled by entering a range of values.

For more detailed information on settlements, see the CO documentation on Cost Object Controlling.

You can carry out the settlement after the whole process of make-to-order production has been completed. However, you can also carry out settlements during the process, if you want to keep up more closely with the cost development.

You can also carry out the settlement as a background task.
