3F0 supports manual settlement option from SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2502

[BobShen]

Introduction

In addition to the event-triggered WIP and variance settlement, a manual settlement option is introduced for event-based production orders, process orders, and product cost collectors.

The manual settlement option is applicable if, for example, you want to reduce large volume of settlement documents, the orders are with short lifecycle thus WIP analysis is not needed at all, or the logistic business events don't always follow the normal operation sequence.

Prerequisite

Before you can use this new feature, the necessary review or change should be done in SSCUI 103940 for event-based processing key ORDMS (Manufacturing Order Manual Settlement) or PCCMS (Product Cost Collector Manual Settlement).

The following preset is delivered by default, and the part marked in red rectangle is changeable according to your requirement, for example: in variance calculation part, variance split can be set as No which means all the variance categories will not be considered during posting; In settlement receivers part, Cost center/WBS Element/Order can be selected as Posting Not Allowed and it takes effect after you make the change.

Production orders must be created via scope Make-to-Stock Production - Discrete Manufacturing (BJ5) with the RA key ORDMS (manual settlement) instead of RSEBW (event-based default). You can replace the RA key with ORDMS during production order creation.

Alternatively, if you always want to settle manually, you can update the RA key from RSEBW to ORDMS in the order type config via SSCUI 102431.

This step is required only if you map the RA key ORDMS- Manufacturing Order Manual Settlement or PCCMS- Product Cost Collector Manual Settlement in the order type.

Scenario

Let’s take order 1000640 as example, which uses Settled Manually.

App Order Cost Details - Event-Based

After goods receipt, goods issue and activity confirmation, the result is as follows:

By the way, let's take order 1000541, which was created based on a business event, for comparison.

Now let’s go to settle order 1000640 in app Schedule Product Costing Jobs (F3683).

In the Template Selection section, make the following entries:

Job Template: Manual Settlement: Event-Based Order and PCC

Job Name: Manual Settlement: Event-Based Order and PCC

Choose Step 2.

Make the following entries:

After check with  test run and update run , the result is as below:

Check journal entries in document flow

Go to Document flow, there are only 1 settlement document.

Go to details

In contrast, event-based postings automatically generate documents for Work In Progress (WIP) whenever operations such as goods receipt, goods issue, and order confirmations are performed.

Conclusion

This new feature addresses the reduction in the number of settlement documents and also provides more flexibility for specific needs to streamline production and costing processes.
