Subcontracting PO and default CO Order type

[SAPSupport]

Hi Team,
When a subcontracting PO is created, it will automatically create a CO Production order with default order type CPOM. However, business has two scenarios w.r.t. Co-production order viz –

1. Commercial Orders – Type CPOM (For Valuated materials) – Settlement to Material
2. Clinical Orders – Type ZPCP (For non-valuated materials) – Settlement to WBS

In the current standard set-up, When a subcontracting PO is created, it is not possible to create different types of Co-production orders in background based on materials (as by default system is taking CPOM) . Please let us know how this can be achieved?

Regards,

Dear Customer,

Thank you for this new question. We understand you have the Business Function LOG_MM_OM_1 active, and now you'd like to use it for creating PO with reference to CO production orders.

Technically, in the PO, the CO Production order is an account assignment data >> the subcontracting PO's account assignment designates a production order.

To use it based on your requirements, you could leverage the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST >> use the method PROCESS_ACCOUNT.

Regarding the production process in Subcontracting in general, you could check the following SAP Blog too.

Hope my answer helps you to take a step forth.

Best regards,

Imre
