 Order Settlement Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

When a production order is settled, the actual costs incurred for the order are settled to one or more receiver cost-objects (for example, to the account for the material produced or to a sales order). Offsetting entries are generated automatically to credit the production order:

  • If the costs for the production order are settled to a material account, the order is credited each time material is delivered to stock. The material stock account is debited accordingly.

  • If the costs for the production order are settled to another receiver (for example to a sales order), the order is credited automatically at the time of settlement. The cost-objects are debited accordingly.

The debit posting remains in the order and can be displayed even after the costs have been settled. The settled costs are updated in the corresponding receiver cost-object and can be displayed in reporting.
