Cannot select conf.control in PO

Hello all:
I create a PO but i cannot select conf.control in it. This field is display only now.
But i have set it Reqd.entry in customizing and it didn't change to Reqd.entry .
What should i do to make it select?
Thanks&Regards

Hi King,
First, Check your PO -document type ( NB , FO etc )
Second corrosponding document type check the name of field selection key which they have maintained by the selected PO document type.
Third, Goto Define screen layout at document level - Selec the field selection group as NBF - Select the selection group as " Deadline monitoring" - There choose confirmation control key field name as Required Entry.
Check in your selected document type- Confirmation is required entry field now.
Based on that setting in PO this following error message will be populate
Please enter Conf. control
Message no. ME 083

GR via MIGO allowed for POs with conf control key

GR via MIGO allowed for POs with conf control key.
where GRs should be allowed only based on ASN (INB) Del.
How to restrict GR via MIGO when confirmation control key is set?

ideally it should work, however check Conformation Control Key LA.
Confirmation sequence " GR relevant " and GR assignemnt is checked or not, in SPRO > MM> Purchasing --> Confirmations --> Set up confirmation control.

Conf Control Key

Hi Experts
I have a requirement to implement Conf Control key in only one of the Plant.
What are all the factors to be considered before going for it ? What are all the Impacts of it ?

Hi,
The confirmation control key usage is not at the plant level. It is always used if you would like to take an advantageous use of the standard vendor confirmation functionality. As soon as the related setting in configuration (under IMG ---> Material Management --> Purchasing ---> Confirmations ...) is made properly, you can be able to use it. However, you should bear in mind that this vendor confirmation feature is used when you would like to monitor the status of your shipment after PO is sent. This is normally put in use together with expediting feature where SAP will enable you to generate dunning/reminder letters if the vendor fails to either acknowledge receipt of your PO or make on time delivery. In addition, once this feature is utilized, make sure the related confirmation control key shall be maintained in the PO before posting GR.
Cheers,
HT

Conf Control Update

Hi
I want to update the Confirmation data from the vendor in PO.
The PO doesnt have Conf Cntrl key.
Can the Conf Contrl key be set with any BAPI like BAPI_PO_CHANGE ?
If so how it could be set ?
Thanks

Hi,
Maintain the confirmation control in the SPRO.
SPRo>>MM>>Purchasing>>Confirmation>>
Here first define the external confirmation categories and then
Set up confirmation control.

PurchOrder PO number : Enter Conf. Control

Hello gurus,
I am customizing a new install of SRM 5.0 in extended classic. Backend is ECC 6.0.
All works fine until the PO is replicated in ECC. I always get the following error: "PurchOrder <PO number>: Enter Conf. Control". And I have no PO replicated in ECC.
In SRM, my vendor has following flags checked (flags which are also replicated in PO):
- Indicator:GR Conf.Expectd
- Invoice Receipt Expected
- Goods-Receipt-Based Invoice Verification
When I try to create manually a PO in ECC (ME21N), I also have the same error message: Enter Conf. Control (Message no. ME083) with the following list of choices:
- 0001 Confirmations
- 0002 Rough GR
- 0003 Inb. Deliv./Rough GR
- 0004 Inbound Delivery
- 0005
- 0007
When I fill something, error disappear. So my question: where does SRM manage this data in order PO can be sucesesfully created in backend?
Thanks for you help,
Patrick

When this problem is happening ? Please give complete details in next reply. what error message is appearing. ?

Conf. Control key and ASN

Dear Experts,
Can you explain the step by step process of the standard ASN creation, confirmation and goods reciept in SAP?
I am confused between AS & LA conf. control keys and goods receipt and inbound delivery steps.
1. I have defined confirmation control in SPRO.
1. PO is created.
2. Vendor confirms they can deliver qty X on date ABC. This will be recorded as conf. key AB in the PO.
3. The day the vendor ships the goods from their location, i will have an Idoc update the PO with a conf. key of AS. is this the standard correct step or do i need to update with an LA here? please clarify??
4. Goods arrive at our facility. Here, should i process the goods with a standard goods reciept using MIGO or use VL31N to create inbound delivery and then do post goods reciept? Please clarify??
So...my question is..when do i use VL31N and do post goods reciept and when do i use MIGO and create standard goods reciept. Even if an inbound delivery is created automatically by EDI and if i do GR using MIGO, then the inbound delivery remains open? so what is the use of the inbound delivery?
What is the functionality of confirmation control key AS?
What is the functionality of conf. control key LA?
Please clarify.

Thank you for the response.
please ignore my statement about conf. key "AS". Can you describe the process of ASN and clarify my other questions?
Thanks

How can we make a field confirm control compulsory field

how can we make a field 'confirm control' compulsory field while creating a vendor code
this field is under tab default data material tab while creating vendor code in purchasing org .part of vendor

Hello,
This can be done using the configuration..
Go to Logistics - General >Business Partner>Vendors>Control>Define Account Groups and Field Selection (Vendor)--> and select the vendor group for which you want this field to be mandatory.
Press details --> in the block "field status", double click Purchasing Plant and again double click Plant level purchasing data, in the second page (down), you can see the confirmation control key, that you have to make as req entry.
If you want the conf control key to be mandatory for all the vendors groups, then you can do this by purchasing organisation level..that config node is just below this settings.

Create PO with a different Confirmation Control Key

Hello experts!
We are using SRM 5.0 with Extended Classic Scenario.
When creating a PO in SRM and replicating it to the ECC backend system, we would like the PO to always be created with value "0010", which is a value defined by our customer.
How can this be done real-time? We can't find this field in any of SRM's structures...
Field in ECC is EKPO-BSTAE
Let me know if any of you has made something like this...
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo.

Hi Gilberto,
Before going in for any BADI development, lets try to see if we can keep it simple.
Try this in ECC & let me know:
1) In the vendor master for the vendor, select the confirmation control option you would want to default for this particular vendor. Do not flag the acknowledgement reqd checkbox.
2) in SPRO, under Purchase Order, click the "Define screen layout at document level"
copy the NBF field selection & rename it to the EBP PO doc type with a F as the suffix. Save it.
3) Click at the details button for new field selction. Double click the "Deadline monitoring" selection & now set the conf required as mandotory. click the back arrow & press save.
Now try to transfer a PO from SRM to R/3 for this particular vendor. But, remember that when it works, it works only for the conf control option you set in the vendor master.

Confirmation control key update in PO

Hi,
I am using POs with confirmation control key 0004 (inbound delivery). When I create an inbound delivery for a PO the correct confirmation record with key LA is written to the PO. When I then change the inbound delivery and add a batch split for the material and save the inbound again, the confirmation control record changes to AB records. for the Why is this happening and how can I prevent this so that the LA record in the conf. control tab of the PO stays unchanged?
thanks a lot!

Hi,
Check Tcode OMGZ.
Check delivery type assigned to confirmation category.

Confirmation Control & Order acknowledgment disappears for a returns order

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement where in I have to update order acknowlegment no in a returns PO.
But as soon as we check the returns indicator at the line item level the Conf Control & Order ack are greyed out. If I uncheck the returns indicatoe they are available for input.
Please let me know why this happens. I have checked in screen layout for ME21N & RL doc type and the fields are maintained as optional entries.
Thanks & Regards,
Narayan.

This is due to fact that Order acknowlegment is not possible in case of return PO.

Goods receipt of pallets in WM and QM - urgent

Hello ERP forum,
I need some help in this problem for Goods receipt of pallets with WM and QM.
Customer wants to record the exact quantity of each pallet received. They do not want to used palletization since this rounds the pallet quantities.
Receipt of 1000 pc
With palletization (300 pc) - not wanted
300 pc
300 pc
300 pc
100 pc
Without palletization (preferred)
300 pc
300 pc
250 pc
150 pc
This could be accomplished if palletization is turned off and the Goods receipt has each pallet qty as an item in the material document
Material doc (goods movement 101)
item
1     matl        300 pc
2     matl        300 pc
3     matl        250 pc
4     matl        150 pc
In WM, settngs are such that one transfer requirement, one inspection lot, one TO are created for the 1,000 pc
All is ok - except in usage decision in QM, when usage decision is taken and material is returned to vendor.
This is because the inspection lot only refers back to one item (Goods receipt, item 1, for 300 pc).
Save of UD gives an error, Deficit of PU GR 700 pc since the posting only looks at item 1
I am looking for a solution to the error produced on the return to vendor. Also if needed, to looking at the above process, and let me know if there is another solution to receive and store exact pallet quantities, but without creating an inspection lot for each pallet. Many goods receipts are on 20+ pallets and having an inspection lot and inspection plan for each would be a paperwork nightmare and the customer has stated they will not used multiple inspection lots.
thanks for your help!
