With Operation Level Costing (OLC), you can view the cost at operation level & you can settle that different / same receivers.

The main purpose of OLC is to reduce the no. of PM orders created for the equipments. With OLC, you can use the functionality Equipment Object List (assigning operations to different equipments in one order) & settling operation wise.

It will reduce the manual intervention of settlement rule creation by mentioning Settlement % in settlement rule for cost distribution.

One of the purposes of Sub Order may be to create different settlement rule, but again no. of PM orders will be as same as normal order.

Answer for your query: No need to create sub-orders only to create different settlement rule if OLC is activated.
