What is MOP order in SAP SCM-APO-PPS - Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling?

SAP Term: MOP order

• Component: SCM-APO-PPS

• Component Name: Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling

• Description: An order that is created using Multiple Output Planning MOP. An MOP order can contain just one operation - to divide a product - and a requirement node relevant to the division because only the characteristics of a product can be propagated upward. Furthermore, an EOG order always has more than one receipt node because the division of the product results in remnants as well as the product being produced. The remnants are represented in the production order of the ERP system as co-products with negative quantities.
