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.

When you are using SAP Controlling Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), you know that mapping objects to value fields is the key to ensuring that the reports are complete and accurate. The standard scenario involves assigning amount fields, such as sales conditions, general ledger accounts, and production variances.
However, it is also important to map quantity fields, such as sales and production quantities, to value fields (which are set up with a quantity attribute in transaction KEA6). Most sales and contribution margin reports include these quantity values (for example, the Net Weight of products sold) to provide the appropriate context for the reported revenue and cost of sales figures.
There are three main areas where you can assign quantities to fields in CO-PA.
