Business Process of Order Combination:

In certain segments of industry, including the steel, paper, and textile industries, but also the tools and specialpurpose machinery sectors, the same operations are used to manufacture different products. These operations may
include producing a melt,continuous casting, and hot and cold rolling. The operations before and after these identical
operations are different for different products.
The order combination function allows you to combine the sequences of identical operations in a consolidated
production order.
This document shows how two production orders created for the same material are combined. However, there is no
system restriction in regard to the combination of production orders with different header material or the mix of MTO
and MTS orders.

Purpose:
In this scenario, a combined order is created from two individual orders using the same operations and
components.

Your

The confirmation and the goods issue are performed against the combined order.
The goods receipt is performed against the individual orders.

The costs of the combined order are settled to the individual orders
Benefits:
Combining machine processes for orders that run at the same time ;ie Reduction in setup time
Settling the costs to the individual orders.
Prerequisites:
SAP ECC 6.0
Industry Solution ECC-DIMP to be activated in SFW5

Configuration:
SPRO - Production - Shop floor control - Master data - Order - Administer selection profile for the combination.
Create the selection profile as displayed below:

Process Flow:
Creation of two original production orders for finished products (CO01)
Combination of the two original production orders into one combined order (MILL_OC)
Post good issue against the combined order(MIGO)
Confirmation of the combined order(CO11N)
Post the goods receipt against individual orders.(MB31)
Technical completion of combined order.

Cost settlement of the combined order to the original orders

Process Flow with screen shots:
There are two scenarios handled in combination order process.
1. Combination of production orders belonging to same material derived from single sales order.
2. Combination of production orders belonging to same material derived from two different sales orders.

1. Creation of Production Orders: ( Tcode: CO01/CO41)

List of production orders created against sales order 337372

List of production orders created against sales order 337373

2. Combination of Original production orders into combined order ( Tcode : MILL_OC)

In standard MILL_OC is the tcode used for combining the production orders. More than two production orders also
can be combined. Select the plant, selection profile and order numbers which needs to be combined as shown
below.
Various options are available like imputing sales order number or material number or production order numbers. In
the below example production orders numbers which needs to be combined are entered.

Select the orders to be combined along with one order as reference order as shown below. Click on Execute button.

New Pop screen will be displayed as shown below. Click OK.

New combined production order ( 1001365) is created for qty of 6 by combining the original order 1 (337372100002 qty 3) and original order 2 (337373100002 - qty 3) as displayed below. Release the order and SAVE.

Observe the routing of one of the original order 337372100002.

Combination order 1001365 has same operations as original orders including the standard values like setup time,
machine time etc.

Observe the BOM of the combination order. Two negative elements are created automatically for two original orders
combined.

3. Goods issue against combined order ( Tcode : MIGO)

4. Confirmation against combined order: (Tcode : CO11N)

Go to T-code CO11N and confirm the operations of combination order

Confirmation of first operation 0010

5. Goods Receipt against Original Orders: (Auto GR -CO11N or MB31)

Auto GR while doing confirmation of last operation is possible.

While confirming the last operation for combination order, click on the Quantity Distribution button as
shown below to distribute the total GR quantity to original orders

Below screen will appear, showing the confirmation quantity against the individual order. Click on execute or press
F8.

Below message will appear the showing the confirmation for original orders.

It's useful and informative .

We are also using the similar kind of solution in Industrial Equipment manufacturing .We named it
as Umbrella Order .Apart from that we are using a collective report where user will combine the
order reference to design specification , operation details of any routing .
Thanks for sharing .

Ramagiri,
Have you used Process batches in DIMP solution? I am struggling to get the create process batch
push button to appear in CO11N. done all the settings as per SAP help file.
Could not figure out what the issue is. If you have used process bathes in your DIMP system, let me
know.
Thanks for your document on combined order

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your feedback. We cannot do GR for combined order. GR to be done for the
orginal orders only. Cost captured on combined order needs to be proportionally moved on
orginal orders.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri
