SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud: Disassembly Production Order

[FKai]

Hi,

We have the following scenario: After producing finished items (such as servers, etc.), there are cases where the finished product needs to be disassembled. Once disassembled, the system should consume the finished product and update the stock with its individual components.

Is it possible to configure the disassembly process by creating a new order type specifically for disassembly, or is there already a preconfigured process available for this purpose?

thank you

Good day @FKai 

Thank you for your question.

Have a look at the following references for further details.

To summarise, in public cloud, there is no separate Disassembly order type delivered as standard but you can achieve the functionality by using a Production Order with a reverse BOM. You can do this  through the Disassembly functionality in Production Orders. It uses the same order processing apps and logic as a normal make-to-stock production but with reversed material flows.

If your process requires separate monitoring or analytics, you can copy the standard production order type and rename it for disassembly tracking.

Here are further information that are of good guidance.

Hi @FKai, As chris mentioned , from solution perspective , i suggest to you define a new order type coping from the standard one. then create the production order without material (co07), assign the new order type and add the components accordingly for the order.

Hello @Peng_Biao  @Chris1973 ,

I have the same issue, and when creating a production order using 'Production Order without Material - Create' (transaction CO07), I only have the following questions: Upon completing the production order, when viewing the "Manage Production Orders" monitor:

1. The production order status remains "Confirmed," and the "Open Quantity" column still shows 1 piece.

Is this normal? Will it affect anything if I leave it as is?

2. In a standard production order, the status ends with "Delivered," and the "Open Quantity" is zero.

3. I've attached an image showing that when I access the order, I can mark it as "Delivery Completed." This changes the status to "Confirmed," but the "Open Quantity" column still shows 1 piece.

Is this normal? Will it affect anything if I leave it as is?

I also noticed that by default, it's marked as "GR Non-Valued." Will this affect my accounting?

Thank you for your comments.

Hello @AngelT

Answer to question 1: Yes, it is because C007 orders have no header material, therefore there is nothing to deliver. Delivery logic only exists for production orders you create with a material. In your case the open quantity will remain 1 PC and will not affect your costing, stock or accounting.

Answer to point 2: See answer 1.

Answer to question 3: Yes, it is. All GR postings are automatically non-valuated, only the component consumptions posts to FI. That is the expected journal entry for disassembly. In your case nothing has been consumed and hence why no change in quantity.

Answer to question 4: The delivery completed status on C007 orders is a formal administrative flag. It does not trigger goods receipts or effects stock and does not change the behaviour of open quantity. If you mark it as completed it will not change logistics or accounting details.

Best regards

Chris
