No Goods Movements after Production Order Status is TECO

When Production order status is TECO, system allow us to do the posting against the order. Once order status is CLSD, then only order treated as closed for execution.
In TECO status you can post the remaining activity/goods movement. Like if you have one order that contains the 5 operation and out of 5, 3 you are confirming in the current period and suppose, rest you are doing in the next period. So at the time of settlement for current period, order status should be TECO cause you will do some operation is the next period and cost for next period should be settle on next period. after that you have to close the order.
So TECO allows the postings.

If the requirement is not allowing any goods movement while system status TECO is active, try this approach in the config:

1. go to tcode BS22 (Maintain: System Status)

2. look for the system status TECO.

3. Double click the field "TECO".

4. in the transaction control tab look for the business transaction "RMWA" or goods movement (you can type it in the lower left corner buttom box).

5. select the radio button from "Allowed" to Disallowed".

6. save your changes.

Steps for Creation of new production Order Type and related customization.

In this post we will discuss about creation of a new production order type and all the other relevant customizations..

SAP Provides some production order types pre configured, but if business processes demands a new production order type like for rework order, sample order etc. then we must be comfortable to do so..

Now below are the customization settings required with T.Codes..

In the laster posts we will discuss indetail about the each setting required, impact on the business proceses etc.


Now we will start with a new Order Type :
Our example order type is ZPP0


Node for Order Type:






















1. Order Type
T. Code : OPJH

























Take care for Number ranges. Directly from this screen or T. code: CO82

2. Order Type dependent parameters
T. Code : OPL8





























3A. Availability Check: Checking control (Order Control)
T. Code: OPJK
Business Function -1- Check availability during order creation.


























3B. Availability Check: Checking control (Order Control)
T. Code: OPJK
Business Function -2- Check availability during order release


























4. Stock and Batch determination for goods movements
T. Code: OPJ2



















5. Define scheduling parameters for production orders.
T. Code: OPU3











































6. Confirmation Parameters
T. Code: OPK4








































Set Parameter and Work Center Formula

How to set parameter and formula for e.g. Power, Fuel, Repair and Maintenance?
Some inputs for setting parameters and formula::
Go-to : OP7B "Parameters Overview"
Define your requirements Eg. For Power – say ZELECT like that
(Short Key work/Keyword – Electricity, Dimension " Energy", Std. Value Unit – KWH)
Then Go-to : OP19 " Standard Value Key Formula : Overview "
Select SAP1 – Normal Production and Copy as (F6) and Create new Activity Type Say eg. ZELE
Then Assign this new Parameter ZELECT and save (handle the transport request)

For Formula Definition :

Go-to : OP54 "Formula Definition"
Select SAP002 – Prod.: Machine Time and Copy as (F6) and Create ur new Formula Say Eg. ZELECT
And replace SAP_02 with your Parameter – ZELECT
Then it’ll look some thing like "ZELECT * SAP_09 / SAP_08 / SAP_11"
Assign The Standard Value Key " ZELE" to your Work Center-Basic Data Screen
Now Go-to Costing Tab Page assign your formula to your Predefined Activity Type for Power.

(Otherwise – First Create Secondary Cost Element (T.Code KA06), Assign this Sec. Cost Element to your new Activity Type, then KP26 " Change Activity / Price Planning"

Assign Activity Type in Work Center Costing Tab & Assign Your Formula)

You can assign max. 6 Standard Values to your WC, I.e If you want to capture Power & Fuel Consumption for an Operation you can have both parameters set as per above procedure
