Component Parameters – A Summary of the activity

The parameters are usually set for the component to follow during various processing of the transactions. All the default plants for the component are populated. On selecting a plant, the page is refreshed with the parameters.  You can also set the parameters for the selected plant. The following are the implication of setting each parameter:

Point of generation of SCR/SCO for Sub-contract Activities:

4 If the parameter is set to allow generation of sub-contract request/order (SCR/SCO) for the chosen status then the system generates the SCR/SCO based on the selected work order status.

Sub-contract Activity to raise:

4 If the parameter is set to raise sub-contract orders (SCO) in the chosen status then the system generates the sub-contract orders based on the selected SCO status.

Precosting at:

4 If the parameter is set to precosting at the chosen status then the system allows posting of planned costing entries for work order at the specified status to Management Accounting (MAC) business component.

Order Modifier rules to be applied on user driven:

4 If the parameter is set to apply order modifier rules then the system validates the work orders against the order modifier rules specified in “Product Structure”.

Automatic PR/SCR authorisation:

4 If the parameter is set to generate purchase request/sub-contract request (PR/SCR) then the system allows authorization of PR/SCR through “Split Work Order” and “Create WO by Source” pages.

Allow manual work order numbering for work orders:

4 If the parameter is set to allow manual generation of work orders then the system restricts the work order number generation accordingly.

Based on the parameter set, the changes to the component are updated. If these parameters are modified as per subsequent business requirements the existing parameters are over written and the system saves the modified parameters.
