 Order Split Usage in Production Orders

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.
No Serial Number assignment.

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)
Assume that product cost collector is already created for FINISH01 material.

Process Flow Steps

Step 1: Create a production order (T-Code CO01)
Create production order for FINISH01 material with order type PP01 and with quantity 10 PCs.

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
Operation status of the split operation: Deleted.

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.
System will display a screen to enter parameters for order split.

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.

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).

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...)

For child order we can check the reference order (60004230) in controlling data tab.

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

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

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

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.

In this case delivered quantity for the parent order (60004230) is 06 PCs.
