MILL_OC-How do you keep the costs in the Child Orders

[goody-1]

I have a client who would like to use the MILL_OC processes to combine multiple production orders but but keep the Actual Costs in the Child Orders. Currently all Target Costs are showing in the Child Orders but the Actual Component and Activity costs are showing up in the Parent. FG creation is showing in the Child so how does one get the actual activity costs and components to show up in the Child Orders and not the Parent?

Hello Dan,

let me verify whether I understand your question (I am rather the mill, and not the finance guy):

If I read the documentation correctly the planned cost stays on the original orders, and the actual cost is collected on the Header of the combined order until it is settled.

Would you like to see the cost already before, or what is exactly the problem?

Thanks and regards, Stefan
