Confirmation Control Work Flow  in Purchase Order

Hi Gurus,
   Can anyone explain me about the Confirmation Control Tab Work Flow in Purchase Order.
   If i select the Conf. Control in Purchase Order, next what process has to follow?
   Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Prabhakaran M

Hi Prabhakaran
The Confirmation Control tab has a field for selecting the COnfirmaiton control Key for the PO Item. This key Determines which confirmation categories are expected for a PO item (e.g. order acknowledgment, shipping notification).
There are four categories delivered in the standard system, which decides whether you need only a ASN for a PO Item, or ASN with a rough GR, or Rough GR only etc.
Once you have this key set up, system expects you to create that document for this item before you process the GR or Invoice.
You can also set up automatic ASN creation if you have EDI Integration with the vendor.
Benefit of ASN is that you ve the confirmed delivery dates and quantities well in advance and warehouse/Inventory team can plan their operations accordingly in advance...
I hope this clarifies your questions

  • Confirmation Control Process Flow

    My Dear Gurus,
    I want to know the actual confirmation control process in material manangement. Becoz of one of my client having the following scenerios.
    PO is created only by PR reference with confirmation tab enabling in po. Once he created the PO again he come back to change mode in PO and enable the confimation control (0001) and the confirmation category as AB.
    Once the vendor is received the PO and the delivery date is accepted by vendor and he manually over phone tell the final delivery date.
    So our client wants to update the final delivery date given by vendor.
    My question is either he need to do *the inbound delivery through VL31N* then only do the MIGO (GR) or directly without doing VL31N do the MIGO transaction.
    Kindly xplain process flow for the above case.
    Regards,
    Vimal

    You can define and do the required confirmation control key under
    SPRO -- > Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Confirmation .
    Confirmation control Key "AB"  is  refers to Order Acknowledgement.
    Based on configuration under " Set up Confirmation Control " system decides whether only Order Acknowledgement is required or subsequent operation is required prior to GR.
    Suppose " Inbound Delivery is required" then one need to do Inbound delivery under VL31N.
    Then GR. You can remove the inbound delivery steps by making blank key  under Confirmation tab.

  • Basic Excise duty not flowing in Purchase order

    Hi,
    We are using TAX INJ and in version 4.7E. BED Percentage is not flowing in Purchase order, whereas E.cess andSEcess is flowing in PO.
    We have checked all the settings and also the replies in SDN forum on this issue. COuld anybody add further inputs where to check for this issue.
    Please revert
    Regards
    Uma

    Hi,
    First check the Tax Code in FTXP whether 100% is maintained for condition type JMO1 or not? If not then maintain
    Also check following in J1ID;
    - Chapter ID
    - Material & Chapter ID Combination
    - CENVAT Determination
    - Plant Excise Details
    - Vendor Excise Details
    - Excise Tax Rates
    If it is OK then check in SPRO > Logistics - General > Tax on Goods Movements > India > Basic Settings > Determination of Excise Duty > Maintain Excise Defaults > Assign condition type JMO1 under column A/P BED cond.
    If all above are OK then go to OBQ1 and for condition type JMO1, check the access sequence, it should be MWST. And then in FTXP, maintain 100% for condition type JMO1.
    And then check in PO.

  • Document flow in Purchase order

    Hi,
    How can check the document flow in purchase order(me22n).  Please help me on this issue..
    Thanks..

    HI
    There is no document flow like SD in MM
    Inorder to get the doc flow for a PO you can goto ME23N or ME22n and in item details click on PURCHASE ORDER HISTORY TAB here you will get the GR , IR etc.
    Alternatively you can goto table EKBE and enter the EBELN (PO number ) and execute you will get the doc flow

  • Work flow in production order

    Hi
    There is a requirement to trigger a mail to a specific user id whenever the order will be Created, confirmed & TECOed (may be they add other events later on). We can make it through standard production order workflow process I think. For that I have assigned user ID to object TS0020047 & TS20000623 (agents assignment ) through TX: COWf1. In the event linkage screen I have activated with events TS20000634 & TS20000634. Still It is not triggering any work flow to the workplace of assigned user id. Where is the mistake I am not able to identify.
    Or if there is any other method to achive this? Pls suggest
    Thanks

  • User-Exits stop working in automated purchase order creation

    Dear all,
    we used to create sales orders with transaction VA01 and then separately call ME21N to create a purchase order.
    In saving the purchase order we activated user-exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 to process some extra logic we need here.
    Now we changed to process for SAP to automatically create the purchase order (to eventually be able to automate the entire process, including sales order creation). Ever since we did that, the user exit is not called any more!
    Does anyone know why? If I manually open ME22N and save the PO, it works! We have to find a way to run the logic in the user-exit during automated PO creation just for the volume of orders.
    Besides that, we're still looking for a convenient way to update PO confirmations using a BAPI or other function module.
    Thanks for your help!
    regards,
              Johannes.

    Good question
    User-exit may not work as the function modules [ and not ME21N ] called in the Sales Order --> Purchase Req --> Purchase Order process may not call the enjoy user-exits.
    Further, this process of automated PO works on Business Obejct event trigger.
    So a event is triggered [ ALECREATED ] on Sales Order Business at the time of Sales Order Creation.
    This event is linked with a function module  called PUR_ORDER_CREATE_VIA_SD_EVENT.
    similarly for change it is PUR_ORDER_CHANGE_VIA_SD_EVENT.
    If you go through the FM code, you can make out how to utilize this FM as user-exit.
    However you need to make the change in this FM after copying the related function group to a Z one. And then change the event linkage accordinlgy to call the new FM.
    See Business Workflow --> Events section..
    If you are not sure about how to do the event linkage then ask it in BPM section...[ They will request you to get lost ...no no ..they didn't do it to me ..just kidding ]

  • Work flow for Sales Order

    Dear All,
    How a Work flow in SD to be configured .
    I need is to create  a workflow  in SD .whenever a Sales Order is created by some user.First the workflow will check if the sales order value is greater than Rs.50,000 or not.If yes it will go for the first level of approval to authority1
    By logging into the workflow the authority1 should know he has to approve that sales order.
    if not it simply sales order should be ready for Delivery otherwise itshould be blocked.
    If the sales order value is between Rs.50000 & Rs.100000  the approval has to go to authority2 approval in the workflow.
    Can anyone worked on the similar lines.
    I am waiting for the reply on this
    Regards
    AK

    Hi,
    Create a new "Z" table for storing the values with the below fields.
    Process Code
    Credit control area
    Customer Credit Group
    Customer Credit Group
    Credit Levels
    Net Value of the Sales Order in Document Currency(From)
    Net Value of the Sales Order in Document Currency(To)
    Position
    Position
    Position
    E-Mail Address
    E-Mail Address
    Credit Levels
    Billing block has to be assigned automatically once the order has been generated.
    The positions will be created by HR team.If the Sales order values falls with in this range,then a workflow will be triggered to three approvers whose values will be maintained in the table.A workflow will be triggered for these members.
    You can create value range for the credit levels.
    A Z program will be required for this requirement.

    Krishna.

  • A report to view the cash flow from Purchase Orders.

    Hi All,
    Could anyone suggest me a report to view the cash flow (financial obligations) which comes from Purchase Orders?
    Thanks
    Gandalf

    Hi,
    You will have to activate basic cash management (part of FSCM) and use TCode FF7B (liquidity forecast). What the report would do is, based on the delivery date of the purchase order and the payment terms of the vendor (plus some grace days for clearing the payment as per configuration) determine the date of expected payments and project the cash (and bank) balance by days/week or months.
    Alternatively you can write your own ABAP code which will do the same thing.
    a. Take a list of all open POs and determine the delivery date (EKKO and EKPO)
    b. Add the payment terms as per purchase order to the delivery date
    c. Compute the cost of the purchase order item
    d. Display the report which projects expected payments by date

  • Expand Table Control with Fields for Purchase Order Item Overview

    Hi Gurus.
    Hereu2019s something easy for you, I hope/ think. We just want to additionally show the field u201CMFRPNu201D in the purchase order item overview. See structure MEPO1211 for the table control.
    How can we do this? Is it possible without a modification? Is there anything to pay attention to?
    Lot's of questions, because we donu2019t find any complete solutions yet. It seems there are no official SAP suggestions for this issue.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Flow of Purchase order /Blanket agreement to iSupplier portal

    The isupplier portal drives off the purchasing archive tables.
    po_headers_archive_all - etc..
    Ensure that under Setup/Purchasing/Document Types - you have Archive on Approve.
    This will ensure your purchasing data hits the archive tables.
    If you still cannot see it - then the problem lies in the securing attributes on your login.
    The more you have the more restrictive the portal is.
    Lastly, if those are proper then your problem lies in the setup of your Security Profilie - created in the Human Resources module, allocating
    access to the Operating Unit(s). You will need to create the Security Profile - and assign it to your MO and HR Security Profiles.
    Then retest.
    Don't forget to run the Security List Maintenance request in the Human Resources Module to ensure proper seeding of your new
    security profile.

    for example user email id is  [email protected]
    This process should automatic work from creation of purchase order through tcode Me21n,
    User should not go to any other tcode to work out this.
    I think all of you had got the scenario and requirement.
    Please tell me how to do this and what are the prequistes for this requirement and which things you have to confiugure and where to set the parameters.

    You need to verify that there is a teminating event. A terminating event works so that if you perform the action outside of the workflow inbox, the linked work item is "logically deleted" from the user inbox.
