3758203 - Automatic generation of settlement rules for Rework Orders after Event-Based Costing activation

Symptom

  • After activating Event-Based Costing, a new Settlement Rule tab appears when creating a rework order.
  • The settlement rule can currently only be maintained manually.
  • Inquiry about an option to generate the settlement rule automatically for this scenario.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Activate Event-Based Costing.
  2. Create a rework order.
  3. Observe that a Settlement Rule tab opens and the settlement rule must be entered manually.

Cause

With Event-Based Costing activation, settlement rules become mandatory for relevant scenarios.

Standard system behavior does not automatically create customer-specific settlement rules for Rework Orders without additional logic implementation.

The BAdI framework supports generation of default event-based posting rules only for supported receiver categories and requires implementation through the Custom Logic application.

Resolution

For scenarios where automatic creation of settlement rules is required after Event-Based Costing activation, customers can use enhancement logic through BAdI FCO_EB_PSTRL_GNRT_DFLT_RULE.

This BAdI enables the generation of default Event-Based Posting Rules during manufacturing order creation and can be used to derive non-material settlement receivers automatically based on customer-specific business requirements.
