Dear Gurus,
This is Chemical Manufacturing company which makes Acid Chlorides and hence SAP PI module is going to be deployed.
There are 3 raw materials, Acid, TC and Catalyst are put into a reactor to undergo a chemical reaction to get a Semi-Finished Product, say Main Fraction(MF)
So, equation is ACID+TC+Catalyst=MF
But when MF is produced, 2 more products are getting produced in conjugation to MF which they say it as Lower Fraction(LF) and Residue(RS).
Now, again they put LF, residue and TC( LF+RS+TC) to get MF, and again some LF and residue is produced. And this cycle goes on
So, MF is getting produced in 2 ways.
1) Acid+TC+Catalyst=MF
2) LF+RS+TC=MF
And below is ratio of Production, MF=85%, RS=10% and LF=5%
Here is the enigmatic issue which i am unable to map in sap.
1) Can we treat LF and Residue as Co- Products?
2) Can I treat LF and RS as Non Valuated materials(UNBW) since they are not selling it and assign it to Co-Product in Material master and in BOM of MF.
3) If yes, how can I create separate settlement profile for this and what key parameters needs to be taken in consideration in OPKT? If you can provide how i can create Apportionment Structure in Process Order header, it will be helpful. I need to specify Apportionment Structure in Order Header Only not in master data. Detailed Configuration from CO side will be helpful.
4) I understand from Help.sap that if I specify Apportionment structure directly in Manufacturing Order, I cannot use a Source Structure from OPKT
Please suggest how Co-Products LF, RS and MF will be settled in Process Order Header.
Thanks
