I am looking in Split Production order - SAP process for ECC6. I understand the steps and that a product cost collector is required. Is there any way around splitting an order based on cost by production order, if my company chooses to Cost based on order and not product? I also seen a thread that stated that split production orders in not supported for collective orders. Is this statement correct? Is there any way around being able to use the Split Production Order process for Collective orders? Also, if I have a material for a given sales order line item (individual requirement but not collective order) is it possible to use SAP's standard production order split process? Or is the split production order process only available to use for collective requirements in a more repetative manufacturing environment, not for materials tied to a sales order? Please let me know. Below is the steps that I already know about the process..thanks.
In OPL8, set the cost collector indicator and default role as PP2.
Create a standard cost estimate for the material (CK11N).
Create the cost collector (KKF6N).
Create the production order (CO01).
Set the created production order to released state (REL) for system status.
Change the production order (CO02). Go to the operation overview tab in the change mode for the production order.
Highlight the operation from which you want to split.
In the top menu bar, Select functions and Split Order.
Enter in the quantity and if necessary, a different order type for the child order.
Execute
The production order will be split.
