Production managers and employees are familiar with the problem: when production orders are confirmed, there is often not enough material in the storage area. The result? Manual reworking, time-consuming corrections in the system and unnecessary delays in the production process.
A typical practical example
Imagine you want to consume 7 pieces of a component for a production order. However, only 4 pieces are available in the system due to a stock discrepancy. Previously, this meant that the confirmation failed or an incorrect posting was generated, which then had to be reprocessed manually using transaction COGI (incorrect posting monitor). This is a constant nuisance, especially in shift operations or with high capacity utilization - and costs valuable time.
The solution: partial consumption and automatic COGI splitting
With the release in October 2025, SAP is providing the new "Partial consumption and COGI splitting" function, which makes the process significantly more efficient:
- Automatic partial consumption: the quantity actually available is automatically consumed during confirmation (goods issue posted).
- COGI splitting: The missing quantity is created directly in the system as a COGI entry (incorrect booking) - without any manual reworking.
- Simplified post-processing: The function also applies to the post-processing of COGI entries and ensures seamless documentation.
2. example from practice
There is already a COGI entry with 5 pieces, 3 pieces are subsequently delivered from the warehouse. The system automatically posts the 3 available pieces and creates a new COGI entry for the missing 2 pieces. You no longer have to intervene manually - this saves time and stress.
Advantages for production and employees
- Less manual rework: incorrect postings are automatically detected and processed.
- Increased transparency: material consumption and bottlenecks can be tracked at any time.
- Faster response: Bottlenecks are immediately visible so that countermeasures can be taken straight away.
- Seamless integration: The function is easy to activate via the production scheduling profile and fits perfectly into existing processes.
Summary
With partial consumption and COGI splitting, you not only make your production more efficient, but also more resilient to material bottlenecks. The new function reduces manual effort, increases transparency and ensures a smooth production process - day after day.
