CO/PC Set automatic settlement rule in PP/CO_Order

Hello all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to automate a settlement rule in a production order?
Cleaning effort for various machines are to be reported back.
For this purpose, we have set up a separate activity type with which the cleaning effort is to be reported back.
This should then be visible in this order.
This time does not run however into the normal production orders; understandably, but specially for it furnished orders with separate order type and account profile.
The cleaning time must be recorded in the production planning board during production.
Therefore, we wanted to confirm this time, but settle it to a cost center.
In the cost budget, however, this time is normally included in the person time via the personnel pool and distributed to the respective production cost centers. In the actuals, however, we would like to be able to show this explicitly.
many greetings
from Claudia

    Hi vonclaudia,
    this all sounds to me like SAP standard customizing "Controlling - Internal Orders - Actual Postings - Settlement - Automatic Generation of Settlement Rules".
    There you have different possibilities to derive the ABRV automatically. From the process description, I would probably store the new order type a strategy sequence. And in the strategy sequence, you can program out the determination of ABRV in the user exit provided for this purpose.
    Personally, I have never had to use the mentioned user exit in the environment of production orders. But I would proceed exactly the same way from your problem definition.
    Many greetings,
    Fu.

    Hello Cung,
    I was already in there. That was also my first thought. But unfortunately this does not work.
    Especially at the step "Assignment strategy sequence to order type" I fail, because I can't select the order type we have created for these special production orders.
    Maybe Mr. Munzel knows something about this?
    Do you know if you have to contact him directly?
    many greetings

    Hi fromClaudia,
    what would occur to me spontaneously would be a workaround via a statistical WBS element. This would look as follows.
    1) Creation of a statistical WBS element with reference to the corresponding cost center (one WBS element per cost center).
    2) Creation of a production order via CO10 with reference to the respective WBS element.
    => Here a settlement rule would have to be created in the standard with the combination WBS element/cost center.
    Before the settlement, the settlement profile (settlement to cost center allowed?) and the allocation structure (settlement cost element for receiver KST maintained?) must be checked...
    In our test system, it looks at first glance as if the cost center of the statistical WBS element is debited directly when settling the production order....

    hello TGR,
    thanks for the input, but we don't have any PSP elements or PS in use in this system. Wouldn't know for what either.
    You then have to settle the WBS_element again; can't imagine that the production order settles to the cost center.
    Besides, this is much too complicated for the users.
    Sorry,
    many thanks and
    Greetings

    I'll wait to see what M.Munzel thinks; otherwise I'll still contact my consultant;

    Good day !
    In my opinion, you should work with real settling internal orders, not with production orders.
    These internal orders should then be settled to the "own" cost center, if I understand it correctly.
    However, you can set this up in internal order customizing by, for example, having the settlement rule generated from the "responsible cost center".
    The confirmation transaction for the special activity type is then of course different than for production orders. If the production cost center is to be credited by this posting, the question is where it should get the price from. If it is planned manually, you have to be very careful with the actual price calculation) if there is one (keyword: actual splitting).

    hello Uwe,
    these are all answers that I already have.
    Thank you .
    I have also figured that out myself, but I don't need that.
    We don't want that either. We are only allowed to work with real production orders, as we have to include them in the production planning board because we have to show that in production.
    We have a solution now, though; it's all okay.
    D
    Thank you very much.

    Hello Claudia,
    I currently have a similar issue: We want to settle the CO-FAUF posted costs on the one hand to COPA and on the other hand to the material. This works manually with the maintenance of the settlement rule via the specification of the source schema. Unfortunately, the settlement rule cannot be generated automatically. What solution have you found in the cost center area? Possibly we could adapt this.
    Thank you in advance.
