 Co-Products: Source Structures Locate this document in the navigation structure

By using a source structure, you can enter different equivalence numbers for different cost element groups within the same apportionment structure.

With source structures, you can vary the distribution of costs according to the cost element group.

If you do not use a source structure, the cost distribution must be the same for all cost element groups in the apportionment structure:

If you want to work with a source structure, proceed as follows:

  • Define a source structure in Customizing

  • Define an apportionment structure in the material master of the main product (pushbutton Joint production in the MRP area).
