Collective order - manuell booking

Question

Hello all!
Is there a way to use collective orders without automatic booking, but with manual booking.
We like the idea of the linked production orders and the way it is handled. Our problem is,
that we need the semi-finished goods on stock. So we have to book them with MIGO.
Is there any other way to link the production orders and do physical bookings (like in every
standard production order)?
Thankful for all help,
Barbara

Hi,
In a collective order, goods movements (GI & GR) are usually not required for assemblies that are directly produced.
When u do the confirmation for Lower level order, Produed assemblies will be issued to Higher level order directly, so manual goods issue not possible for assemblies to Higher level order.
U can confirm this, with Higher level order cost analysis after the confirmation of lower level order.
So need not issue the produced assembly to higher level order using the MB1A.
Only thing u have to activate Collective order with goods movements object  box for Order type at OPJH .
For Lower level order (Assembly order ) good issue for procured components of assembly can be done using MB1A with MVt type 261.
Dependencies :
For collective orders without automatic goods movements you must take organizational measures to ensure that the WIP calculation and the settlement of orders are each carried out twice. You cannot carry out a variance calculation for collective orders without automatic goods movements. You cannot carry out a standard cost calculation for a collective order without automatic goods movements.
You can find detailed information on collective orders in the document Cost object accounting -> Order-related Product Controlling.
