Process

 Parent order costing shows actual costs after goods issue and/or activities confirmation
 No costs are updated in original orders for goods issue and confirmations
 Target costs are are updated after goods receipt for original orders. Actual costs flow to
the original orders only after settlement of the combined production order.
 Actual variable quantity needs to be posted for activities
 Yield is confirmed against individual orders where as activities are confirmed against
parent order

Before confirmation

After confirmation

Change quantity distribution

 After confirmation – activities are confirmed against combined order. Distribution makes
sense in case of auto goods receipt. Stand alone it has no meaning.

Example
 Goods issued and activities confirmed for combined order.

 Variance is calculated for combined production order. This is warning message.

 Combined order is settled to original orders. Costs are distributed in planned prduction
order quantity.
 Combined order after settlement

 Original orders show the actual costs. Production order no 27 is explained below
 Variance calculation for 27

 27 before settlement

 27 after settlement
Configuration settings

 Maintain source structure and allocation structure in settlement profile of combined

production order.
 Source structure of combined production order must contain all the cost elements
pertaining to relevant consumption and activity accounts.

 Allocation structure - Settlement receivers will be ORD (original production orders) in

allocation structure of the combined production order.

Diagnosis
No variances can be calculated for manufacturing orders that deliver to a nonvaluated
sales order stock or nonvaluated project stock.
In joint production, variances are determined at the level of the order item. Variances can only
be determined for order items in joint production orders if the following conditions are met:
  All order items have final delivery status
 The function distribution for co-products was executed before the variances were
calculated
For the orders (manufacturing orders and product cost collectors) assigned to a cost object
hierarchy, you specify how the orders are handled in the cost object type.
 If the Control through variance key indicator is selected in the cost object category, the
variance key determines how the order is handled.
o For orders with a variance key, variances are calculated for the order.
o For orders without a variance key, variances are calculated for the cost object
hierarchy as a whole.
 If the Always cost object hierachy indicator is set in the cost object category, orders that
are assigned to a cost object hierarchy are always included variance calculation,
regardless of whether the assigned orders have a variance key or not.
No variances are calculated for orders that:
 Do not have a variance key, or whose variance key is invalid
 Are locked
 Are flagged for deletion
 Have a deletion indicator
 Have the status "closed"
If the order has the settlement type full settlement, variances between the (net) actual costs and
the target costs can only be calculated if the order has the status "delivered" or "technically
completed". If the order has settlement type periodic and no goods receipt was entered for the
order in the period, only remaining variances are calculated.
System Response
No variances were calculated, or only remaining variances were calculated.
Procedure
Check your entries.
Check the order. For example, check the following:
 Whether a variance key was entered
 The settlement type of the order
 The status of the order
If necessary, set the status to "delivered" by entering a goods receipt and setting the "delivery
completed" indicator.
If appropriate, set the status to "techically completed".

However, there is no system restriction in regard to the combination of process orders with
different header material or the mix of MTO and MTS orders.
