From the SRD:
I can't help but notice that potion & scrolls don't list any "Prerequisites" for their creation. Yes, you need to know the spell, but is that officially a "Prerequisite" in terms of cooperation?
The text above comes from the section of the SRD where it is explaining the text at the end of a wonderous item description. Does this imply that you can only cooperate in the creation of wonderous items?
By "Prerequisites", do they mean specifically the things listed in the "Prerequisites" section of the item description? If so, then potions and scrolls have no such section. If not, then can't you split up xp cost and other requirements that are not explicitly listed in that section? Neither option sounds good.
Balance-wise, I would say that you can cooperated on potions and scrolls, and you cannot cooperate with regards to xp cost on anything. But I'm not seeing this supported in the rules as written.
Prerequisites
The requirements that must be met in order for a character to
create the item.
It is possible for more than one character to cooperate in the
creation of an item, with each participant providing one or more
of the prerequisites. In some cases, cooperation may even be
necessary, such as if one character knows some of the spells
necessary to create an item and another character knows the rest
