In SAP S/4HANA, order type-dependent parameters (configured in Customizing via Production > Shop Floor Control > Master Data > Define Order Type-Dependent Parameters, transaction OPL8) control key aspects of production order processing for a specific plant and order type. These settings affect:
Select master data(C): The parameters determine how master data (e.g., BOM, routing) is selected during order creation. For example, the "Production Version" field specifies whether a version is mandatory or optional, and the "BOM Application" influences which BOM is chosen (e.g., production-specific). This ensures the correct master data is pulled into the order.
Define integration with cost accounting(D): The parameters include settings like "Costing Variant" (Planned and Actual) and "Results Analysis Key," which dictate how costs are calculated and posted to the order. These integrate production orders with Controlling (CO), affecting cost object controlling processes.
Schedule production orders(A) is influenced by scheduling parameters (e.g., in OPKP), not directly by order type-dependent parameters, which focus on order creation and execution settings.Check material availability(B) is controlled by the "Availability Check" field in these parameters, but it’s a subset of broader order processing, not the primary process affected—master data and costing are more directly tied to the configuration. This is per SAP’s production order configuration documentation.
