Indirect Activity Allocation to co-products production order

[former_member195434]

Hi,

We are planning to use indirect activity allocation cycle for absorption of actual cost of activities from cost center to production order. So the receiver of the IAA will be production orders. Since it is not possible to give production order numbers manually every month, I have created a variant of PP orders in OKOV based on settlement receiver which is material and assigned it as Order Group in the IAA cycle.

This works perfectly for normal production orders because their settlement receiver is MAT and therefore they are being picked under the created variant (Order Group) and able to receive the activity costs through IAA.

The problem is coming when the PP order has co-products because their settlement receiver is not MAT but OIT (Order item). So these orders are not being picked under the same variant. So IAA is not working with them.

Therefore, in summary, I need to be able to create a variant in OKOV that will pick these PP orders also.

Can anyone suggest what can be done?

Hi Abhi

Cant you create another variant in OKOV, using Account Assignment Category as OIT and then insert the two variants based on MAT and OIT into an Order Group and use this Order Group in the Cycle?

I assume you have changed the nature of Prod Orders under BS12 to allow them as Receivers

As a workaround, you can have a separate order type and number range for MAT and OIT prod orders... After that you can assign the number range as From...To in IAA cycle. But check the impact on performance

Hi Ajay Sir,

Thanks for the suggestion but the first method wont work because the order group will pick up all the orders with settlement receiver category OIT. These may include orders that have work centers that do not belong to the sending cost center. (that is, the material that are produced through a different cost center's work center.)

We will use overhead key instead of settlement receiver in OKOV for selection of orders. The OH key will be populated from OH group which will be placed in the MM master. So for all the FG materials being produced through the same cost center (work center), we will have the same OH key and OH group.

This solves my problem.

And yes in BS12 I have allowed them as PP order as receivers.
