Unit 8: Confirmations TSCM42

Lesson: Procedure, Prerequisites and Effects (Overview)

Lesson OverviewIn this lesson, you will learn about various confirmation procedures.

Lesson ObjectivesAfter completing this lesson, you will be able to:

Describe the confirmation procedures for production orders Define the control parameters for confirmations in Customizing

Business ExampleConfirmations are the premise for progress control and capacity planning. Theyshould be as prompt and efficient as possible. Due to the different requirementsthat arise in practice, SAP provides several confirmation procedures.

Confirmation Procedure

Figure 111: Confirmation - Overview

Confirmations are an important basis for entering internal activities performedfor the order, for the progress check and the resulting capacity requirementsplanning.


TSCM42 Lesson: Procedure, Prerequisites and Effects (Overview)

Precise, real-time confirmations are therefore especially important.

A confirmation causes various additional functions to be executed (see above).

Confirmations are executed in principle in the SAP ECC component, but can beimplemented using various technical procedures.

The standard system provides a range of online transactions in SAP ECC (seethe next slide).

Users of the browser-based Enterprise Portal can carry out confirmations aspart of the role of a production scheduler.

Confirmations from PDC systems are possible using the PP-PDC interface(see previous unit).

Confirmations can be automatically generated and processed using automaticprocess messages which, in turn, are generated from work instructions, using thePI-PCS interface, or using SAP ODA. (See previous unit.)

Confirmations can be generated and updated via anMii server (see previousunit).

As of release 4.6, custom-programmed confirmation interfaces and externalsystems can be linked to the SAP ECC system by using and adapting thefollowing BAPIs:

BAPI_PRODORDCONF_PDC_UPLOAD_TE (Time event confirmation)

BAPI_PRODORDCONF_PDC_UPLOAD_TT (Time ticket confirmation)

Figure 112: Confirmation Procedures



There are different confirmation procedures.

Each procedure supports different practical requirements that a company mayhave.

Depending on the application, one or more procedure may be used. Proceduresmust be selected to suit the methods of organization within your company andaccording to the degree of time and effort required.

For the most part, the two main types are operation-related and order-relatedconfirmations.

Order confirmation is a confirmation of the entire order at order header level.

An operation confirmation allows you to confirm the order step by step.Various procedures are available for this type of confirmation.

You can only carry out a confirmation for an order if no confirmations havealready been entered for the operations.

Each confirmation is entered with a status (partial confirmation, final confirmation,automatic final confirmation).

A confirmation can be made with an automatic goods receipt. Control is thenmaintained using either the operation control key or the production schedulingprofile.

A material overview enables you to correct backflushing for postable materialwithdrawals, or to enter any number of unplanned goods movements.

You can only perform a cancellation for the individual, entire confirmation(no correction).

There are a whole range of Business Application Interfaces (BAPI) available thatcan be used to enhance the standard confirmations to suit specific users.



Requirements for Confirmations

Figure 113: Requirements for Confirmations

Confirmations are controlled by confirmation parameters (see next graphic).

Each operation is automatically given a confirmation number when the order iscreated. You can then clearly identify it without having to enter any other data.

Each operation contains an operation control key. This defines whether theoperation requires confirmation.

An operation can be marked as a milestone. This means that when the milestoneoperation is confirmed, the operations that precede it are also confirmed withproportional quantities.

An operation that is to be confirmed must first be released.



Figure 114: Control Parameters for Confirmations

You control confirmations with Customizing settings (parameters).

You set the control parameters with reference to the order type and plant.

You have to differentiate between confirmation parameters for:

Time ticket confirmation with selection screen (can only be used withtransaction CO11)

Time ticket confirmation using single screen entry (new form of the normaloperation confirmation)

Collective confirmation / fast entry

You can change some settings online.

You must also enter the reasons for variance.

The reasons for variance can trigger statuses that, in turn, control trigger points.

Various programs are available for copying PDC confirmation data into the HRmodule. Make sure you activate the No HR Update switch if you do not executethe transfer.

You can enter confirmations with a shift. Relevant settings are required forautomatic determination of the shift number (ECC 6.0, EhP3).

Error messages can be generated for the confirmation of scrap and reworkquantities. The corresponding settings are required for this (ECC 6.0, EhP3).



Exercise 18: Confirmations Parameters

Exercise ObjectivesAfter completing this exercise, you will be able to: Define confirmation parameters for the order type

Business ExampleYou will make the necessary Customizing settings to make confirmations forproduction orders possible.

Task 1:Create and release a production order for material R-F1## and your order typePO## in production plant 1000.

Save your production order.

Order number: _______________________

Task 2:Try to confirm your production order.

Choose transaction CO15(SAP menu: Logistics Production Shop Floor Control Confirmation Enter For Order) to enter the following order confirmation:

Order:

You get the error message No parameters defined for plant 1000 order type PO##.

Task 3:Define the confirmation parameters for your order type PO## and plant 1000. Todo so, copy the confirmation parameters for order type PP01.

Then try to confirm your order again.

1. Choose the following Customizing activity:(SPRO: SAP Reference IMG: Production Shop Floor Control Operations Confirmation Define Confirmation Parameters)

Define Confirmation Parameters

Select the line for Plant 1000 and Order Type PP01.

Choose icon Copy As

In Change View Parameters for Order Confirmation:

Field Order type:Delete entry PP01 and set your order type PO##.

Choose Enter to copy the settings.

Save your confirmation parameters.

2. Now try to confirm your order again.

Order confirmation should now be possible.

Use the various transactions for the confirmation of production orders Describe the effects of confirmations

Business ExampleYou will use different confirmation transactions, depending on the specificapplication. These must be tailored to your methods of organization for productionand require a minimum of effort.
