Determine Confirmation Control Key for UB STO

Hi,
For NB PO's, the confirmation control key (CCK) can be determined by the vendor.
How can I determine the CCK for a UB STO when I am using a supplying plant instead vendor?

Hi,
Normally the confirmation control key will be defaulted from the config maintained at sprommpurchasing--confirmations for NB or UB.

  • Confirmation Control Key Should be mandatory for PO document type

    Hi All,
    I want to know, is there any configuration settings to make mandatory "confirmation control key" for the Particular Purchasing document type's.
    If it is not there what should be the best to achieve this requirement.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shankar.

    Hi
    I think there is no standard setting to make mandatory document "confirmation control key" for the Particular Purchasing document type's.
    Best way is to maintain in Purchasing view of vendor master record since confirmations rare sent by the vendor.If you want for some perticular materials you can maintain in Purchasing info record.

  • Purchase order confirmation control key issue

    Hi,
    We have an issue about vendor confirmation control key in transactions ME21N/ME22N
    We have custom document types defined , ZNB - this is normal purchase order for external vendors and ZSTO - this is stock transfer orders between plants belonging to our corporation.
    For ZNB we can introduce the confirmation control keys with no problem.
    But when we try to introduce the confirmation control key for the ZSTO document type, the value is simply ignored and the field is reset to blank (NO error message)
    My question what can be the reason for this , probably there is some customizing setup that creates this behaviour but I cannot find it.
    Thanks
    H.Z.

    I put this succesive screen shots, first I select the confirmation key and after pressing enter the field is reset to blank .....
    I was trying to find also user exista but with no success so far ....

  • Confirmation control key determination In PO

    Hi Experts ,
    Kindly suggest how confirmation control key is determined in purchase order ?
    My requirement is like ,  if i have  PO  with different document type i need to have different confirmation control keys
    How can i achieve this ?
    Thanks in advance
    Jinoy

    Hi,
    Condition control keys are setup generic to the purchasing documents, viz. PO, Outline Agreements.
    The control key defaults on the purchasing document from the record source assigned for the purchasing line items. Control key defaults from Info. Record or Outline Agreement or from Vendor Master Record, if the control key is specified in these.
    Eg. If There is no info. record or Outline agreement exist as a source for a particular Purchase item, then the control key would default from Vendor Master record of the Purchasing document.

  • Confirmation control key check for inbound delivery creation

    Hi,
    Currently, in the Client's company, the process of receiving goods from purchase orders looks like that (SAP-wise):
    - create a purchase order,
    - receive goods using MIGO and automatically create an inbound delivery,
    - pack the delivery and post goods receipt.
    Recently, some patches have been installed, including one described by note 1602047 (which basically enforces checking confirmation control keys if goods receipt assignment and goods receipt relevance are activated for inbound deliveries). Note says that it only affects two-step stock transfer and creation of automatic inbound deliveries using SPED output but it seems it also affects other basic processes like PO receipt in MIGO.
    Now, when using the old control key (that had MRP-Relevant and GR-Relevant fields checked), the system is unable to automatically create an inbound delivery after the goods receipt is posted with MIGO (with message VL148 - Not possible to create an inbound delivery). I learned that this is because the "GR Assignment" field must be checked in the confirmation control key so it's possible to automatically create aninbound delivery after receiving a purchase order in MIGO.
    After changing the confirmation control key to have the missing field checked it's not possible anymore to receive goods from PO in MIGO as the PO requires shipping notification in order to be processed in MIGO thus requiring of manual creation of an inbound delivery.
    Is there any way to skip this check so the process would remain the same (this model has been working fine for few years in the Client's system) and the inbound delievery would be created automatically after posting the receipt in MIGO?
    Thanks in advance,
    Piotr

    Hi,
    don't know if you found a solution, but we received the following message from SAP:
    The advent of the new version requires some attention to the users. It
    was necessary to avoid inconsistencies which in the past version the
    system was susceptible.
    Main Program SAPMM07M
    Source code of MM07MLVS
    sy-msgid VL sy-msgty E sy-msgno 148
    I have checked the process and through debugged I could confirm the
    following information SAP is providing to all similar incidents reportedfor us:
    Error message VL 148 is issued if in the confirmation control key used
    in the purchase order, the fields for MRP-relevance (T163G-KZDIS),
    GR relevance (T163G-WEREL) and GR assignment indicator (T163G-WEZUO)
    are not set.
    The correction of note 1602047 was necessary to avoid inconsistencies
    (table EKES) in the purchase order. Without having the GR assignment
    (T163G-WEZUO) set, there is no unique reference created between the
    purchase order history (table EKBE) and the inbound delivery
    confirmation (table EKES) at goods receipt which leads to a problem if
    several inbound deliveries exist for the same purchase order.
    If you set T163G-WEZUO to 'X', this assures that, for an inbound
    delivery, the confirmation record (EKES) belonging to this inbound
    delivery (EKES-VBELN) is also accurately updated at goods receipt.
    How to solve the issue?
    Use a confirmation control key with the GR assignment indicator set
    and then create the inbound delivery with VL31N. If you want to be able
    to create the inbound delivery with reference to a certain line item in
    the PO, use transaction VL34.
    If you still want to use transaction MIGO, there is the following
    workaround:
    - Create a purchase order without any confirmation control key
    - Create a goods receipt (GR) in transaction MIGO with reference to this PO and post the GR to a non-HU-managed storage location
    - Create a transfer posting with MIGO using movement type 311 to
    transfer the goods from the non-HU-managed storage location to the
    HU-managed storage location.
    As the transfer posting is an additional step for the user, the whole
    process could be automated using a partner storage location
    (T001l-PARLG) for the GR which then triggers (through a modification)
    the BAPI 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' to create the transfer posting without
    user interaction.
    I hope to have satisfied you on the reason why it is now happening and
    also I believe you can explain to business that it is a new behavior
    necessary done from SAP side to avoid worse situations, we are aware of
    potential dissatisfaction it might cause. SAP Support is always
    available to clarify any issue.
    Sorry for not having a more positive answer.
    I hope it helps!

  • Default values for confirmation control key

    Dear forum
    I am using a confirmation control key 0004 Shipping notification (standard SAP) in the Purchase order line item (created with ME21n).
    When I enter the confirmation data (with transaction ME22n) in the purchase order line item (confirmations tab), I have to type in delivery date, quantity and so on manually, which is standard.
    But, what if I want to copy the original delivery date and quantity from the line item in the order, and use this as default value for the line item confirmation data...is it possible somehow?
    The reason why I want to do this is for the user not having to go in and update this date manually all the time, but only when the confirmed dates/quantities differ from the desired delivery date and quantities in the purchase order line item. We are not on EDI or using Inbound deliverys for Purchase orders.
    Thanks
    Ola

    Hi,
    The Confirmation is nothing but the acknowledgement.So, its usually entered manuallly by the authorised User allowing follow on documents for Purchase Order.
    You can chesk once the customisation of Confiramtion control keys for automatic update indicator.
    Yes, you can use User Exit and develop with the help of ABAPERS.
    Hope it will help you.

  • Mass change for field Confirmation control Key in PO / SA

    Dear All,
    There is a need to do mass change in value for field Confirmation control Key in PO / SA. Some of them have PO history. If we have PO history system wont allow to change conf. ctrl key. Also since it is a production system we can not cancel previous po histories. This is in SAP 4.7 where we dont have mass change tcode for Scheduling agreements.
    Can we maintain the values thru table entries. like using se16n maintain entries check box. This option is greyed out. can we activate that & do this requirement.
    please suggest.

    hi Greetings!
    The confirmation control key can not be changed in the scheduling agreement if GR for item had already been posted. If the GRs can be canceled , it is possible to change the confirmation control in the SA item.
    Version 4.7 do not support Mass change of scheduling agreements, hence you have to either create a SCAT or BDC to perform the task.

  • Determining of confirmation control key

    While creating a PO, SAP proposes a confirmation control key. How does it know which confirmation control key to take?
    I thought SAP always searched in the contract. If no contract available, then in the info record, if no info record available then in the vendor master.
    Now, I have seen a case in which we have entered confirmation control key 0001 in the vendor master, and no confirmation control key in the contract. If we now create a PO, SAP takes 0001. Can anyone explain? Thanks.
    Helpfull answers will be rewarded.

    The thing is: I am at a customer's side and I don't have access to the SPRO ;-( so I can't find out what is set in the customizing.
    What do I do: I create a vendor here and I set the confirmation control key to 0001. Then, I create a contract and set no information in the item details concerning the confirmation control key.
    If I now create a PO with reference to the contract, SAP sets the confirmation control key to 0001. So, it takes the information from the vendor master, overruling the information in the contract. Is this normal?
    Thanks, Peter

  • Confirmation control key issue

    Hi EXPERTS
    I would like to know under what circumstances can the confirmation control key be included in the line item of a PO after GRN is done.
    I am faced with a scenario where the GR of the line item of a PO is done  and their is a confirmation control key attached to this line item But I donot find any inbound delivery details in the line item nor does it look that the inbound delivery is deleted
    This line item now need to be reversed ( but the system doesnot allow stating that their are no suitable line items available
    (I tried 102Mvt  Thru' MIGO)
    Could you pelase guide me regarding this situation and suggest ways and means for PO line item reversal
    Thanks VC

    HI,
    Purchase Order Item Confirmations Tabstrips:
    The confirmation control key controls the process subsequent to the creation of the PO. 
    E.g. For some important materials with long delivery times, you wish to receive advance information (via the shipping notification or inbound delivery) about the expected GR date so that you can include this information in the availability check.
    The confirmation functionality is used to get better visibility & control over the goods receipts. Due to this requirement, when you work with confirmations, the system will not propose any quantity for MIGO unless any confirmations are entered in the PO. Also, MIGO will propose only such quantity for which the confirmation is entered.
    In the purchase order, there is a field confirmation control key, following is its function extracted from text book. 
    1.The confirmation control key governs whether confirmations are expected for specific purchase order items and whether these confirmations are relevant for goods receipt or materials planning.  
    2. If a material document is to be created when the goods receipt posting for the inbound delivery is carried out, then the goods receipt assignment must be defined in the confirmation control.
    How to set this field?
    Configuration path:
    SPRO -> MM -> Purchasing -> Confirmations -> Set up confirmation control or tcode OMGZ
    Explain is there a necessity to fill the confirmation control, order acknowledgement & confirmation requirement. In STO normally we input the data for normal P.O.'s.only. If we input the above said data what happens if not what happens.
    Confirmation gives the details of the shipping data, acknowledgement, delivery details etc......Overall view..
    If it is used then Inbound delivery has to be created else GR is not possible...
    VL31N--Inbound PO wrt PO/STO.(manual)..
    If idoc /edi are configure, then everything will be automatic.
    Confirmation Control is configured in SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Confirmations -> Setup Confirmation Control. The Confirmation Control should be assigned to the Vendor in Purchasing View (MK01/MK02). This it gets copied into the PO.
    How to change the confirmation key in PO?
    I have to change the confirmation key (in me23N) in the confirmation tab. It is working fine if there is no partial GR (entry in delivery schedule tab) against that line item.  But if there is a GR entry against that line item its giving me a message 'confirmation key should not be changed'.
    This is the standard of SAP....once GR is existing for the line then you can't change the confirmation key.  To change, reverse the GR and change the key then Post GR again.
    or
    You can short close the PO line which you already have GR and create new line with remaining qty and enter new confirmation key.

  • Confirmation Control Key Value in vendor master overwritten by Info Record?

    Dear all
    In the standard 3rd party processing, we will use S/O to trigger PR and we then convert PR to PO. And when PO is converted, Confirmation Control Key (CCK) Z01 maintained in Vendor master purchasing view will be adopted for all the items in the PO, and in the purchase infor Record for the combination of material & this vendor, we do not maintain any CCK value there.
    However recently, the system behaves in such a way that the CCK value does not automatically show up in PO item anymore. And I have been thinking can it be the fact that the blank value of CCK in info record will overwrite the Z01 value in the CCK of vendor master? But if so, why all the past PO I have checked does not have CCK value maintained in info record but the CCK was able to appear automatically?
    An interesting fact is that if I create the PO manually by enter Vendor with CCK value Z01, Org Data, account assignment S and Item category S (both for 3rd party processing), and then the material and hit ENTER, the CCK value Z01 will appear in PO Item level under tab: Confirmation.
    However, once I enter the PLANT value in PO Overview, seem like the Empty value of CCK in info record will overwrite the existing Z01 value.
    Please advise if it is how the info record CCK work to overwrite? Also, how do I get back to the stage where the info record CCK will not overwrite as I do not want to spend time to update all the info record CCK to have Z01.
    Thanks

    Dear Manohar Raju Kanchanapally
    I do not understand why this OSS note SAP Note 909885 - ME21N: Confirmation control key not
    from vendor mentions the following:
    Symptom:
    When you create a purchase order using Transaction ME21N, the confirmation control key from the vendor master is not used, although it is maintained.
    Cause and Prerequisites:
    The symptom occurs if no confirmation control key was maintained in the existing purchasing info record.
    Solution:
    Implement the attached correction instructions as a modification.
    It is totally contrary with the General Rule that the most specific will always prevails, meaning if I do not maintain CCK value in the Info Record, it will overwrite the CCK value I maintain vendor master when I create PO using same vendor, material, purchaisng org and plant!
    Please help!

  • Confirmation Control Key

    Hi
    Do anyone know if it is possible to use "Confirmation Control Key" in SRM Contracts and Purchase Orders?
    We are running Externat Scenarios in SRM7.0
    We want the same functionality as the key in MM Contracts and PO to determines which confirmation categories are expected (e.g. order acknowledgment, shipping notification).
    Thanks in advance
    Br
    Jesper

    Hi Jesper,
    what do you mean by External Scenarios in SRM ? is this standalone or Extended classic ?
    If its extended classic then just do settings in ECC and in the PO you will get the confirmation control key as desired.

    Hi
    In the field selction key(define screen layout at docuement level) of docuemnt type, you have to check all the feild selection like
    AKTH , ME31 , MKK (Qty Contract) ,if any of the feild selection if the confirmation control is reqired entry ,then while creatiog contract it will reflect,
    Check these feild selection keys if the confirmation control is active, and also check if you have created any new feild selection keys if the confirmation control is active.
