Introduction

Order split enables us to split an existing production order, for which processing may have already begun, into two separate production orders. These production orders are then executed separately from a logistics perspective. We might want to perform an order split for the following reasons

 When a partial lot of a production order has to be handled differently than the rest due to quality reasons, you can create a separate order to do this.

 If capacity bottlenecks occur, the portion of the order quantity that is required immediately can be processed separately.

 The material availability can only be confirmed for part of the order quantity. You split the order to create an order with full material availability.

 If the required date for a partial quantity of the finished material has changed, this portion can be split off in a different order.

 If a production order cannot be completed on time, you can split the order to reduce the order quantity. The reduced order quantity then requires less time to produce.

When we split an order, we split off part of the order quantity (split quantity) of a production order (parent order) from a certain operation of the standard sequence (split operation). The quantity that is split off is produced in a separate production order (child order). In the process, the operations from the split operation onwards are copied from the parent order to the child order, along with the assigned material components. The system automatically recalculates all the quantities affected by the order split, as well as dates at header, operation, and component level.

In this article process steps are explained with an example considering following assumptions.

 There is only a standard sequence in use and no alternative sequences.

 There is no in process inspection.

Configuration Settings

Define Order Type dependant parameters (T- Code OPL8)

SPRO Production Shop Floor Control Master Data  Order Define order type-dependent parameters

For required order type, flag product cost collector check box and define default distribution rule as “Production Mat.Period.Settlement (PP2).”

Materials used to explain the process are FINISH01 (Finish material), RAW1, RAW5, RAW7 & RAW8 (Components)

Process Flow Steps

Step 1: Create a production order (T-Code CO01)

(6)

Out of total five operations, confirm first two operations with actual operation quantity.

Order split is allowed with following system status:

 Header Status: Partially released, released, partially confirmed.

 Operation Status of the split operation and all successors: Created, released, partially confirmed The order split is not allowed with the following status:

 Header status: Created, delivered, finally confirmed, locked, technically complete, closed, deletion indicator set

 Operation status of the split operation and all successors: Finally confirmed, dispatched, partially dispatched, capacity split, capacity requirement assigned, capacity requirement partially allocated

(7)

Step 2: Change production Order (T-Code CO02)

Split the production order with split quantity 04 PCs from operation 0030.

In production order operation overview, select the operation 0030 and go to functions menu and click on split order.

(8)

Enter required split qty in split quantity field. Here we can select different order type for child order. And further system will also allow us to schedule the child order with different dates.

After entering all parameters, execute split (click on split order execute button).

System will create a child order with specified parameters and it will be displayed along with parent order in split hierarchy.

The split hierarchy displays the dependencies between the parent and child orders in an overview tree. During order maintenance, the split hierarchy and the selected order from the split hierarchy are displayed. We can navigate to any order in the split hierarchy (tree structure).

Orders (including child orders) can be split several times. The dependencies can be seen in the split hierarchy.

(9)

After splitting, system will set the status SPLT (Split) at header and operation levels for parent order and split qty. as expect yield variance.

Operation qty. will be reduced to 06 PCs. from operation 0030 to the succeeding operations. System will set the status CSPL (created by splitting) at header level for child order (60004232).

(10)

All successive operations from split operation (including split operation) will be copied to the child order along with all assignments (for example material components, PRTc etc...)

(11)

Step 3: Confirm production Order (T-Code CO11N)

Confirm the both production orders (parent and child) individually.

(12)

For child order, repeat confirmation for remaining operations also (i.e. for 0040 & 0050 operations)

Step 4: Goods Receipt for Production Order (T-Code MB31)

Perform goods receipt for both orders with their respected yield quantities.

(13)

(14)

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to the order split:

 The parent order and child order must both be settled to the same product cost collector

 We cannot read master data for the orders in a split hierarchy

 Orders in a collective order cannot be split

 Orders of a split hierarchy cannot be supplemented with a sub tree

 The parent and child order must both have the same header material

 We cannot perform confirmations at order header level
