From a SAP perspective there is quite a difference. In discrete production a single production order is issued and it becomes the cost collector for the production. Materials and labor are issued (materials) or charged (labor) against the order number. The resulting production is received into inventory and the parts are costed be dividing the total cost by the number of parts received. There are other differences, but the main point is that in discrete production the production order is a unique document and all demand and costs flow through it. Repetitive is very different in that as the name implies; the same thing is repeated several times. In Repetitive a version and a cost collector are defined for each material. The version ties the BOM and Routes together. The cost collector does what is says; collects costs. In repetitive planned orders are created for a version. Materials are usually backflushed when labor is reported (operation confirmations) against the planned order and these costs flow to the cost collector; the planned order quantity is reduced. The cost collectors are settled on a periodic basis (usually monthly) which uses the same logic that the discrete order; total cost divided by total qty received = inventoried part cost. As you can see these two process accomplish the same; but how they get there is quite different. To make it more confusing, you can incorporate some repetitive features in discrete production (cost collectors, versions?etc)
Hope this helps.

Subject: Repetitive and Discrete manufacturing.
repetive is usually a continuos flow, good example is makeing 5000 tv dinners you know how long it takes to make qty1 very little defects or fall out and you always have everything on hand to start the run, you may also make the same run 2-3 times per month so a cost collector is ok all cost go to top level.
Discreet, You do have falls out reworks and move into production missing materials, long lead time its essential to know what and where it is at in production, cost may vary a little but each production order will be costed independantly for review.
