abolish product cost collector for production order

[steffen_mller]

Dear Experts,

we use for some production order types the product cost collector. Now we plan to abolish them and change the settlement for production order. Which things do we have to pay attention? Do we have to finish our running production orders first or is it possible to change customizing during running production process. Thanks for your hepl!

Best regards

Steffen

Hi Ajay,

thank you for your answer.

We have tested two variants:

1. new order type, so we can process two separate settlements, for orders with PCC and the new orders without PCC. After archiving of all prodorders with pcc, archiving of pcc it should be possible to switch back to old order type.

2. change customizing without finishing existing orders, settlement for existing orders, all orders which already have been processed will be settled by pcc (status pcc usage in order header) We have not be seen any strange system behavior.

We use the pcc collector for different order types in different plants and want to abolish plant by plant. In this time the pcc will still be customized/exists.

Best regards

Hi

The only change in customizing that you would need is WIP customizing and new order types

For PCC, WIP is on target cost basis. For product cost by order, it is actual cost basis.. there is no harm if both the customizing exists at the same time... Just ensure that your prod orders have relevant RA key based on its attachment or not to a PCC

you can choose to remain with new order types or switch back to old ones as per your choice

Hi,

thank you! What do you think about switching the setting in existing order types? We do use also settlement without pcc. So the customizing should already exits. What kind of inconsistencies can be after switch in existing order types?

Best regards

Hi

If all the previous orders are closed (CLSD Status), i dont see any problem

But just to have a clean slate to start with, I wud personally prefer not switching back, as it wont add any value

Hi

I would recommend you to wait for them to finish. Create a new prod order type and use them hence forth inorder to avoid inconsistencies later on
