  Key Concepts: 
  A by-product in SAP CO-PC Product Cost Controlling is a product that is created as a result of a manufacturing process, but is not the main product. By-products are typically sold at a lower price than the main product, and can be used to offset the cost of production. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP CO-PC Product Cost Controlling, by-products are tracked and accounted for in the same way as the main product. The cost of production for the by-product is calculated separately from the main product, and any profits or losses from the sale of the by-product are also tracked separately. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a by-product in SAP CO-PC Product Cost Controlling, it is important to ensure that all costs associated with producing the by-product are accurately tracked and accounted for. This will help to ensure that any profits or losses from the sale of the by-product are accurately reflected in the overall cost of production.
