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

  • 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 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

    Hi,
    First go to change the SA, trs ME32, double-click on the item and assign the conf. control key that suits your needs. Save.
    Then go to maintain the delivery schedule, trs ME38, mark the item and choose in the menu "Item -> Confirmations -> Overview".

    I am trying to default the conf control keey 0004 (inbound delivery) for UB STO.
    Our process is to cretae STR then automatically convert them into STO.
    When Create a PIR for STO with conf contrl key and you refer this PIR into your STO it will bring the conf control key 004.
    But now the question is how do I default this PIR into the STO??? keep in mind that it is a UB type ...

  • 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.

    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?

    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
    With Thanks,

    The PO doesnt have Conf Cntrl key.
    Can the Conf Contrl key be set with any  BAPI like BAPI_PO_CHANGE ?

  • Confirmation Control Key not transfered to backend

    Hi All,
    I have a problem for SRM POs. We have a particular Confirmation Control Key(CCK) configured for a vendor in the vendor master.
    Whenever a PO is created in SRM and transfered to R/3 this value needs to be populated in the R/3 PO as well. However this is not happening for all the POs.
    A few POs are having the CCK and few dont have it. Any idea why?
    Regards
    Zubair

    Hi Zubair,
    Check the following threads which might help you in resolving your issue.
    Confirmation Control Key
    Re: PurchOrder <PO number> : Enter Conf. Control
    If the CCK is not maintained in vendor master it would be maintained in Configuration. If not check the purchase info record or the contract reference.
    This might be the reason why for some vendor P.Os its coming and for some its not coming.
    Check the same and let us know in case of any further clarifications.

  • 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.

  • Media controls keys does not work on iTunes?

    My keyboard has those "Media Controls Keys" on it (just like Play or Stop etc.) but it won't work with iTunes, unless iTunes is on the front of all windows. I used to use Windows Media Player and it can work with the Media Controls Keys even the player is minimised. Are there any ways simply changing settings with iTunes and solve the problem?

    Hello,
    I don't have a W541 myself, but here are a few things to check, in no particular order:
    Have you checked with your IT department?  Maybe they set a poilicy to disable the card reader.
    Is the card reader correctly enabled in the UEFI firmware?
    Have you run ThinkVantage System Update and Microsoft Update to confirm all of the various Lenovo and Microsoft updates are installed?
    Do you still have the OS image the device originally shipped with?  If so, does the card reader work under that?
    Regards,

  • Control key (^) combined shortcuts does not work on mac book pro

    All shortcut combinations with the control key (^) do not work. I´m using Mac Book Pro 13 (late 2013) with Os X Mavericks 10.9.4

    The Logic Board is the Main system board. In the Windows world better known as the Motherboard. Except with Apple Mac computers the CPU and the GPU are Soldered to the logic board and if it is a Retina screen model the RAM is also Soldered to it.
    So replacing the Logic board is like replacing the compete system and costs accordingly.
    But there isn't much else you can do if you can't get that switch unstuck. Or just go without sound from the built in speakers. They aren't that good anyway.

  • HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

    HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

    If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click  and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
    In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.
