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.

  • 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)

    Dear Sudhher,
    There is no facility to enter that same return number in SAP. So create noted entries or assign the same number to set off document number assignment filed.

  • 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.

  • PO User Exit to change confirmation control key

    Hi All,
    I have to hard code the confirmation control key to a constant(e.g 0006, where the value doesnt exist in Confirmation Control Key table T163L) for a particular Order Type while creating/ changing a PO through Tr. ME21/ME21N or ME22/ME22N.
    Is it possible to do so using UserExits
    Appreciate your Help.
    Regards,
    Anbalagan

    Hi ,
    I dont think you can change the control record of any IDOC .
    If you look at an example Function module MASTERIDOC_CREATE_CREMAS , used to create Vendor IDOCS ,
    the call customer-function has only the idoc data record as tables parameter .

  • 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.

  • 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
    Thanks

  • Confirmation Control Work Flow  in Purchase Order

    Hi Gurus,
       Can anyone explain me about the Confirmation Control Tab Work Flow in Purchase Order.
       If i select the Conf. Control in Purchase Order, next what process has to follow?
       Thanks in Advance
    Regards,
    Prabhakaran M

    Hi Prabhakaran
    The Confirmation Control tab has a field for selecting the COnfirmaiton control Key for the PO Item. This key Determines which confirmation categories are expected for a PO item (e.g. order acknowledgment, shipping notification).
    There are four categories delivered in the standard system, which decides whether you need only a ASN for a PO Item, or ASN with a rough GR, or Rough GR only etc.
    Once you have this key set up, system expects you to create that document for this item before you process the GR or Invoice.
    You can also set up automatic ASN creation if you have EDI Integration with the vendor.
    Benefit of ASN is that you ve the confirmed delivery dates and quantities well in advance and warehouse/Inventory team can plan their operations accordingly in advance...
    I hope this clarifies your questions

  • 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 for Scheduling Agreement

    Hello Experts,
    I have got situation for subcontracting scheduling agreement where client doesn't need confirmation control. They want to perform GR against scheduling agreement after creating delivery schedule without extra activity(Confirmation).
    Process flow is:
    1. Create work order(generates purchase requisition for subcontracting activity)(CO01)
    2. Create delivery schedule against purchase requisition for scheduling agreement(ME38)
    3. Create delivery to supplier through ME2O
    4. Confirm Goods receipt(ME38)
    5. Goods receipt(MIGO)
    I am trying to avoid step 4.
    Standard scheduling agreement setup automaticially fetches confirmation control key 0004. If I am disabling it manually, and not performing step 4, system throws message "no GR relevant item in PO"
    Can somebody suggest settings to achieve my scenarion
    Thanks and Regards
    Gyanesh

    Hello PavanKumar,
    The inbound delivery is one type of confirmation you are receiving from the vendor so I dont think you will be able to create the inbound delivery without confirmation control key.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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!
