Assigning Manufacturing Orders (SAP Library - Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA))

Assigning Manufacturing Orders

Use

A manufacturing order can be either a PP production order, a CO production order or a process order.

When you create a production order, the system proposes the profit center from the master record (plant segment) of the material being produced. Consequently, you usually do not have to enter it manually. For process orders, the profit center proposed is that of the main product in the order.

All the costs and internal cost allocations posted to the production order are passed on to the assigned profit center, along with the credit posted when the production order is delivered or settled.

The assignment of production orders also lets you transfer work in process for open orders to Profit Center Accounting.

Each production order is assigned to a plant. Each plant, in turn, is assigned to a company code, which is assigned to a controlling area. This controlling area must be the same as that to which the profit center is assigned.
