The comultiplication of the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra is used to give modules produced from a subalgebra, an additional compatible structure of a module over an algebra of formal power series. When only the k \mathfrak {k} -finite elements of this algebra act on a module, conditions are given that insure that it is the Harish-Chandra module of a produced module. The results are then applied to Zuckerman derived functor modules for reductive Lie algebras. The main application describes a setting where the Zuckerman functors and production from a subalgebra commute.
