Question:
HI,
Can any one please tell me that for co-product is there any other settings which I have to maintain ,besides marking in material master and in BOM marking it as -ve quantity,because during production order confirmation the auto goods recipt does not take place neither for the main product nor for the co product.
But in the case of By product the goods are receipt automatically

Answer:
Hi:
If you have marked a material as a co-product in the material master and you have include a negative quantity in the BOM, When you are declaring the production (for example MFBF) for the finished product, the system will make a movement 131 to update the stock of the finished good and also a movement 531 to update the stock of the co-product.
Tell me if you have a different result.
I'd like to ask you a question. You are talking about co-product in the good receipt. Are you able to enter a co-product while you are making a movement 101? Can you tell me how? We are using co-products in production but not in good receipt, and I'm interesting on it.
Best regards.
Answer:
HI,
Thanks for your reply,
In my case I am creating production order through co01 and during confirmation system does not show any material in the goods movement screen.For By product it proposes mvt type 101 for main product and 531 for by product.
But after confirmation goods movement does not takes place.

Answer:
From my Help screen in version 40B...
You cannot post an automatic goods receipt for co-products
Answer:
Is the blackflush flag set? Check the components in the order.
It could be set at routing, material master (MRP1 - procurement section) or work center level. And can be also set at prod.order level.
Regards.
Answer:
SAP Note No. 38108
Short text Automatic GR during manufacture of co-products
Symptom
If you confirm an order with co-products, no automatic goods receipt is
made even if the control key is set.
If you enter a confirmation with a smaller or larger quantity than the
planned quantity for an operation, a yield variance can be calculated
for the header material of the production order or process order. The
yield variance is calculated for the leading product of the order only
and not for co-products.
Additional key words
CO11, CO12, CO15, COR6, CORK, CORR, CORZ, confirmation
Cause and prerequisites
The automatic goods receipt is not supported during the manufacture of
co-products. The partial quantities of the co-products cannot be derived
from the confirmation quantity automatically.
For the same reason, no yield variance is entered for the co-products.
It cannot be assumed that there is a direct proportional link between
the quantity of the leading product und the quantities of the
co-products.
By updating a yield variance, the planned order quantity is not changed.
Therefore, it cannot be assumed that the quantity of the co-products has
to be reduced.
Solution
You have to enter the goods receipt manually.
