Confirmation Control Key in PO update not possible with partial delivery

Hi gurus,
When I do a MIGO that a partial quantity of a PO and after, I will want confirm the rest of quantity of this position in ME22N, system doesn't allow add a confirmation!!
Confirmations only are posible if all quantity is pending???
Thank you!!
I will reward points all answers!!

Hi Daniel,
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.
Now you will have two options:
1. If confirmation is mandt, then the Conf reqd check-box must be checked during ME21N. This will restrict the GR for confirmations only.
2. If confirmation is not mandt, then confirmation will not be possible after partial GR.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers.

Query: confirmation control key

Can anyone explain the importance of confirmation key in PO item?
I understand that in IMG, confirmation key can be configured so that it has a
sequence of confirmations. Please let me know its relevance in inbound delivery creation.
Thank you

The confirmation control key controls the 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.
To come to your question, if the inbound delivery is not allowed in the customizing of the Confirmation Control key, then it is not possible to create an inbound delivery for the PO, and you can only do the GR via MIGO or some other MM transaction. One impact of this is that between creation of the PO and the GR, you dont have any idea about where the material is, and when it will come.
I hope this clarifies,

To Pick correct Confirmation Control Key Automatic in creating Info Records

Dear All
We have Import Vendors and Domestic Vendors.In Import PO Creation Except for one vendor, rest of all the Vendors should have the Confirmation Control key as Mandatory.For domestic PO the Confirmation Control key should be Optional.This Confirmation control key is flowing from the Info record which is maintained by the Core Team of the Business.Since this Confirmation control key is not maintaining correctly (say Optional for the Import Vendor Infor records instead of Mandatory) by that core team in the info record ,while doing Goods Receipts system is not accepting to post through IDOC's.
How can we control this while creating Info record, means for Import Vendor Info record, system must not allow Confirmation control key as Optional and for Domestic Vendor system must not allow Confirmation control key as Mandatory.
Note :for One import Vendor say XXXXXXX the Confirmation control key must be Optional and for all Import Vendors it Must be Mandatory.
Kindest Regards

Hi,
If you are using seperate vendor account group for import vendors you can make it mandatory for that vendor master purchasing tab
it will flow to info and po from there for one optional vendor create one dummy key with no confirmation control and assign in the
optional vendor

Update PO with Confirmation Control Key,Acknowledged Delivery Date.

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement that through a Excel file I have to update a Existing PO with the three fields,
1.Confirmation Control Key
2.Acknowledged Delivery Date.
3.Acknowledged Modified Delivery Date.
If there will be differ in values in any of the field in the existing PO and the incoming excel file then we need to update the
fields in the PO.
So is there any BAPI or FM to update the field value?
I tried with BAPI_PO_CHANGE it is not working.
In excel we have only five fields.
1.PO number
2.Item
3.Confirmation Control Key
4.Acknowledged Delivery Date.
5.Acknowledged Modified Delivery Date
Please help.
Regards,
Umesh

you can use BAPI_PO_CHANGE itself, but you need to get the details of the current PO before passing the details to BAPI_PO_CHANGE
you can use BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1 by passing ( PURCHASEORDER = <..Your Purchase order Number..> ) and after that you willl
get all the details of the PO, just change the required data's and pass it to the BAPI_PO_CHANGE. It will be easier.
after you receive all the data,
pass the corresponding data from BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1
to BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
1.PO number                    -     PURCHASEORDER (importing)
2.Item                         -     POITEM (Tables )
3.Confirmation Control Key          -     POCONFIRMATION (Tables)
4.Acknowledged Delivery Date.
5.Acknowledged Modified Delivery Date
I think for 4,5 fields are also in POCONFIRMATION table itself (not sure)

Confirmation Control key not allowed in MM Scheduling Agreement item.

Hi Experts ,
I am facing an issue with Confirmation control key in MM Scheduling Agreement.
Scheduling agreement already GRd without Conf-key and Now if am going to update confirmation control key as 0001.
I am getting an error "Confrmation Control key is not allowed".How can I solve this problem.Anyway i have to update the conf-key.
If you are answering me that will be very much apreciatable.
Looking forward for your answers.
Thanks,

Hi Bala ,
We can directly update the database table field , but this is not recommended.
Can you re-do the GR i.e Cancle the existing and again do GR with confirmation control key.

Purchase order does not contain a confirmation control key

Hi expert
I have not set any confirmation control key in Purchasare order, still at the Migo, system is showing error at depot.
I have check the same thing with manufacturing plant, system dont show me any error.
Regard
Nabil

Hi,
I f the confirmation control key is maintained in PUR.info record is automatically will fetch into PO though you have not selected manually in PO. The CC maintained in vendor master or PIR can copy into PO. In your case please see whether inbound delivery is needed to perform GR? CC implies many types of confirmations like order acknowledgement, advanced shipping notification or confirmation of delivery dates. Please see specifically to the error. Try to know the type confirmation system needs to post GR. Thanking you.

MIGO error 'Purchase Order does not contain a confirmation control key'

Hi,
while posting GR to a PO i am getting an error ' Purchase order XXXXXXXXX does not contain a confirmation control key'
it is true that i have not defined any confirmation control key in PO, Aknowled rerd checkbox is also not ticked
Still why this message coming, what setting would be bringing this message
Please clarity

Hi,
Until the installation of Note 589422 (with SP SAPKH46C43) you could due to a program error - create a delivery even though the purchase order did not contain any confirmation control key.
This is now prevented through error message M7394. The transfer of this check (Confirmation control key existing in the purchase order, see Note 589422) was necessary as otherwise you could post a purchase order as desired. (Refer to also Note 616944 -> SAPKH46C44)
589422 Several inbound deliveries can be created with MIGO :
"Implement the program correction.
With Transaction SE91 create message M7394 with the message text:
Purchase order & & does not contain a confirmation control key".
After you implemented this correction, when you want to create an
inbound delivery with Transaction MB01 or MIGO or with
BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE and if the purchase order does not contain a
confirmation control key the system displays error message M7394
"Purchase order & & does not contain a confirmation control key".
Hope this can explain the error you met.

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 not getting copied into PO created via ME59N

Hi,
I have maintained confirmation control key 003 in vendor master. Ticked automatic PO in vendor master as well as material master.Info record & source list (Fix vendor) are also maintained.
I have manully created PR & assigned source of supply. Now when I am trying to convert PR to PO via ME59N, confirmation control key is not getting copied from vendor master.
Note that I have not maintained CC key in info record. When I am creating PO manually wrt PR, CC key is getting copied from vendor master.
What could be the reason?
Regards,
Piyush

Hi Piyush,
Incase of Automatic PO creation /conversion of PR to PO automatically. Purchase info record is must along with the activation of CC Indicator (because PIR is a master record with the combination of vendor and for a certain material) to pull the CC key into the PO automatically.
Hence CC activation in PIR is required inorder to populate the Confirmation control key into the PO when it creates through Automatic PO with PR assignment using ME59N. Otherwise you have to specifiy manually incase of manual creation of PO.
Hope it clarifies,
Regards,

Confirmation control key does not exist

There is a old one PO, which was created with confirmation control key ZSC1 ; Now issue is ZSC1 has been deleted but it is showing in po, now user want to close the po as want to ticked the "delivery completed" ind. in the Delivery tab page at Item level in the po.
In this cas he is facing the error as "Confirmation control key does not exist" so:-
1. How can be close the po.
2.Is there any option, from where we can check the change control i.e. can be checked when ZSC1 was deleted.

Hi Jurgen,
I think you misinterpret regarding this issue.
confirmation control key is not deleted in PO.
It is deleted from configuration setting I mean from IMG -> Material Management -> purchasing -> confirmation -> Setup confirmation control.
since it's exists in po but not in config. thats the reason system given us that error.
so my question was:-
how to get change control for the same, i.e. when it was deleted from config. setting
And how set del. completed ind. in po for closing the po, bcoz it's showing error as "Confirmation control key ZSC1 does not exists"

Confirmation control key automatically defaulted not from supplier, nor PIR, nor user exit

Hi gurus
I have the confirmation control key automatically defaulting in the PO but it is not coming from the vendor master data, nor PIR nor from user exit.
Do you know from where it can be defaulted? I have noticed that if change the company code then it defaults but if change to another want then the field is blank, so it seems that there is something configured at company code level, but not sure what it could be
thanks so much
Ivan

Then you need to analyze thoroughly all the PIR'S and vendor master which are linked to scheduling agreement or contract where you are maintaining the control key.
And also any new functionality added in your PO functionality debug and check the same with ABAPER it will be easy way you can now from where exactly the confirmation control key is populating in PO.

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.

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.

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.
