BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_HDR

Question

Dear All,
We are using BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_HDR for Production
Confirmation.To meet the requirement of posting of associated goods movement with confirmation like
backflusing/Auto GR should take place as standard,relevant settings are done.
In Post Wrong entry Field '2' is set.But,the observation is,in case of any incorrect goods
movement,confirmation happens but incorrect goods movement are passed to Error log (Transaction Code :COGI).However,in configuration settings, in Confirmation parameters for production order,error due to incorrect goods movement are set for termination.
Is the mentioned behaviour is standard.Kindly advise.

Hi Stuti Bagchi
What you see is standard behavior.
Different from online process (it's process can be defined by T-CD OPK4 <process control> that originally from T-CD OPKC), Automatic Goods Movement from BAPI always use update task or background task.
The customizing that you mention only has influence on online process. So if the process use update task or background task, the customizing does not have any influence. (Since GM is done is in different task <update task or background task>, confirmation process cannot evaluate whether GM records has error or not.  So even you can process confirmation without error, GM can face error and it have to be re-process in T-CD COGI).
This behavior is standard behavior that is describe in following 2 SAP Notes. So I recommend you to read this note also.
SAP Note 208477  Consulting: Process control in confirmation.
