 Different Account Assignment of Co-Products

Use

In the standard system, you can assign a production order to a receiver, such as a sales order. This means that the actual costs of the order are settled to the receiver. If you enter further co-products, these are also assigned to this receiver.

When a joint item is created, it can now be assigned to other receivers using this enhancement. Only sales orders with items and make-to-stock production are supported as receivers. Other receivers, such as projects, are not possible.

Caution Caution

You can only use this function when entering co-products. You cannot change the account assignment for co-products that have already been entered. You can only delete this kind of co-product and create new products with changed account assignment.

End of the caution.

Prerequisites

The first key of this function is the Special Stock Indicator field in the component overview table.

  • If this field is not set, the new co-product is assigned to the warehouse. Entries in the fields for sales order and sales order item are discarded.

  • If you set the field to 1 , the system tries to evaluate the fields for the sales order and sales order item. If it cannot evaluate the fields or one of the fields – because the field has been left blank or contains invalid entries, for example – the system uses the account assignment from the order header.

Features

  • In the component overview in the production order, the fields for the sales order and sales order item have been included in the table of components.

  • You are advised to only use this function with valuated sales order stock.

  • Only the account assignment is changed. Data such as the configuration is not copied.
