- How do you change the posting to a different GL Account?
- How do you create a new movement type and assign it to a specific GL Account?

What's the difference between process and production orders in SAP S/4HANA?
SAP process orders provide more functionality than production orders, including phases and process instructions for process industries.
When you create production orders, a routing and a bill of material (BOM) are transferred to the master data of the order header. When you manufacture with process orders, the master recipe and associated materials list are transferred. The difference occurs because process industries manufacture in phases, converting initial liquid batches into consumable batches, bottled and packaged.
