Confirmation of purchase order in ICH (supplier view)

I am new to SCM / ICH and am trying to confirm a purchase order in the ICH - this is from within Purchase Order Collaboration - Supplier View. When I attempt to confirm the PO item an extra schedule line is shown with status 'CONF', however when I save the PO I get the message 'Enter a valid Ship To Partner'. I am assuming that this is because the customer field in the PO header is blank. The data was transferred in SCM from ECC via XI using a standard scenario (Purchase_Order_Processing) and mapping.
Does anyone know whether this is the correct way to confirm a purchase order in ICH?
Also, how can I ensure that the 'customer' field contains a value?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I am also new in SCM ICH, but may be there is no transportation line defined for this material.
Call transaction /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1 in your ICH-System or select menu Inventory Collaboration Hub - Master Data - Transportation Lane.
Create a product-specific transportation line.
I am not sure, if it's neccessary to transfer the PO once more before confirming.

Creating confirmation using Purchase Order details

Hi all,
I am trying to create a confirmation for a Purchase Order in SRM Version 5,ECC 5.0(ECS Scenario).
In my program, I first get all the Purchase Orders using the function module, BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL. Then I want to confirm this Purchase Order in the back end and front end using some funtion module.
I have tried with the function module, BP_PD_CONF_CREATE, to create the confirmation.For this function module, I have passed the header details such as Object_id,process_type,log_system_FI ,be_log_system,
be_object_type , be_refobj_type.
I have also passed the Item,partner,account,org,longtext,pridoc and tax details of the PO as input to this function module.
On execution of this function module, I get the Confirmation number, but the confirmation does not get created in the front end as well as backend. I also tried with the following function modules,
BAPI_CONFEC_CREATE - For this function module I first tried passing the PO details as above as input but it didnt work. Then I tried passing the output of the Function module BP_PD_CONF_CREATE which had the Confirmation number, as input to BAPI_CONFEC_CREATE. It gives an error 'There has been a unexpected exception'.
I also used the following function modules,
BBP_PD_CONF_UPDATE
BBP_GOODS_MVT_CREATE
BBP_PROCDOC_CREATE
But none of them works....
Please help me if anyone has dealed with such a scenario.
Thanks,

Send Purchase order directly to supplier website

Hello,
I'm in process to setup "Send Approved Purchase order directly to supplier website". I did set-up for Trading Partner Definition in XML Gate-Way. Now when i approved PO it should go automatically to supplier website but getting two issue..
1. Getting Delivery Status :- Error and Delivery Message "Failure Connecting To Proxy' :- I have already checked this with our supplier ,their server is up and user-id and password is also correct..
2. My delivery status is updated after 5 hrs, so wondering why it is taking this much time. Do i need to make some changed to get prompt delivery updated...
Can anyone point me on something?
Thanks

Hi Deepak,
I believe you need to revisit the Trading partner setup.. I am providing a sample setup which may help you..
Step-1 : Define trading partner Group...
Step-2:
Define Trading Partner
Partner : ELGEMS-105
Description : ELGEMS LTD.-105
Assignment Tab
Supplier Name : ELGEMS LTD.

Supplier EDI Location : 146362105DCZ
'Details' Tab
Transaction : 1) OUT: Purchase Order (850/ORDERS) 2) OUT: Purchase Order Change (860/ORDCHG) 3) IN: Ship Notice/Manifest (856/DESADV)
Type : 1) Standard PO 2) Standard PO 3) Advanced Ship Notice

You mentioned : 1. Getting Delivery Status :- Error and Delivery Message "Failure Connecting To Proxy' :- I have already checked this with our supplier ,their server is up and user-id and password is also correct..
Please check incase there is any time out while connecting to Supplier server.
Delivery status normally takes times but ideally it should not take 5 hours.. Would you mind to try it in a different server of supplier (Let it be a sandbox instance of supplier).
Hope it helps..

Fast change for confirmation in Purchase Order

Hi experts,
We are entering line item wise confirmation in purchase order. It is taking time . We want that we do enter " Confirmation " for 1st Line item and then thru Fast Change it can be copied to all.
We tried it. The space provided in fast change is only 04 characters. We write CONF instead of confirmation and then press fast change icon. Word CONF copied to all line items but it not supporting the other things which we have to enter in confirmation box for eg : Order Acknowledgement / Inbound delivery.
We have reduced the word confirmation to conf in customizing also via spro>MM>purchasing>confirmation >set up confirmation control but still it is not supporting the other thing we have to enter in confirmation box for eg : Order Acknowledgement / Inbound delivery.
I think we are missing some part of customization. Please suggest.

Generating Inbound delivery based on Vendor Confirmation for Purchase order

Is there a way to create Inbound deliveries based on Vendor confirmation for a purchase order.
Here is the complete scenario.
Buyer Creates the PO for qty 100 and Date August 29
Vendor Confirms that he can supply a qty of 50 for August 29 and remaining 50 for Sep15th
Based on vendor confirmation, Buyer creates 2 vendor confirmations (AB) to match with the data received from Buyer, without modifing the PO.
Requirement:
Inbound deliveries should get created based on the vendor confirmation.
As MRP looks at Inbound delivery for Planning purposes once they are available, Inbound delivery should match with vendor confirmation data.
Is it possible to get this requirement met with standard config available in SAP.

could you eventually get the answer from the docu Set Up Confirmation Control

CONFIRMATION OF PURCHASE ORDERS CREATED FOR SERVICE

Hi,
We have implemented the Extended Classic Scenario on SRM 5.0 and WF1400020 has been activated for Confirmation of Services. When a service confirmation has been done, but not yet approved, the system allows you to create another confirmation, even although the first confirmation was for the full quantity on the purchase order. Can anyone please assist in explaining why this is allowed.
Thanx

Hi Marinda,
your problem was mine. I've posted for it a message to SAP AG.
Unfortunately, I have to inform you that the system behaviour you have
described in this message is exactly how it is designed to work.
Technical reason for the system behaviour:
After approving a confirmation the system performs the following steps:
1) it creates an IDoc which will be passed to the backend for creationof the goods receipt document on the backend.
2) at the same time it creates an entry in table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB for
the PO. If a user now would try to perform a confirmation he will get
the error message 'System user' already processing purchasing doc item
'xxxxxxxxx' 'xxxxx'
3) the entry in table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB remains in the table until the
report CLEAN_REQREQ_UP has detected that the goods receipt document in
the backend has been posted succesfully. Then this entry will be deleted and the status of the PO will be set to "Fully delivered" respectively
in case of a partial delivery the open quantity will be reduced accordingly
If you want to achieve the immediate locking of the PO
for confirmation you always have to use a workflow without an approval
step for the confirmation
I hope this information has helped you.
Please, is useful, reward points to me.
Regards,
Christian

Confirmations in Purchase order

Hi all,
In confirmations tab (in purchase order, item details), i can put:
a) Confirmation Control Key --> if i set this one, i can't enter goods receipt if i haven't received confirmation from vendor and insert this in PO.
b)flag of Confirmation Requirement --> if i put only this flag, i can enter goods receipt also if i entered nothing in the field "Order Acknowledgment Number". Instead, i would like that i can't enter goods receipt if i havent't received confirmation from vendor..
Is this possible???
thanks in advance...
Best regards
Alba

Hi,
a) Confirmation Control Key --> if i set this one, i can't enter goods receipt if i haven't received confirmation from vendor and insert this in PO.
This is Std SAP. If you are using confirmation control once you have entered and save.unless the vendor sends some acknowledgment .(or) Create Inbound delivery Vl31n enter the qty .save it .The ASN no will be inthe P.O confirmation tab.
After that only you can raise GR.
b)flag of Confirmation Requirement --> if i put only this flag, i can enter goods receipt also if i entered nothing in the field "Order Acknowledgment Number". Instead, i would like that i can't enter goods receipt if i havent't received confirmation from vendor..
This is Std SAP.
If you tick the confirmation req only and not entered any thing in Confirmation control , you can raise GR .It is only for Information
.Order acknowldegement number is for reference only

EDI Confirmation for Purchase Order

Hi All,
Scenario : Our vendor is located abroad. The Purchase order is transmitted to the vendor via EDI. The vendor sends a confirmation for the PO as an IDOC via EDI. The suitation we have is that there are instances where there is a miss match( Requested item doesn't match the confirmed item) between the item in the PO and the IDOC received from the vendor as confirmation. But the PO is still confirmed. Is there a method where we identify when there is a miss match in the item.
Any input on the above would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
You could control this via customizing purchasing->Confimrations->Setup confirmation using SPRO.
here ,you can specify the tolerance for price quantity and material.
The tolerances you define apply to all vendors. Using the enhancement MM06E001 provided by SAP, you can specify that the tolerances do not apply to certain vendors.
If the acknowledged quantities, prices, and dates vary from those set out in the PO or purchase agreement, the system issues a warning message. In this case, the purchasing document is not updated.

Create Confirmation, Search Purchase Order, sort order

Hi experts,
when I use the button "Create Confirmation" on the POWL Confiramtions to create a Confirmation I can search for available purchase orders. The list of purchase orders seems to be sorted by creation date / posting date in ascending order, meaning the newest PO is at the bottom of the list.
How can I sort this list in another way, e.g. by creation date in descending order, meaning the newest PO is at the top of the list?
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Rajesh,
this was my first idea as well, to click on the header of the column. Unfortunately that sorting functionality is not available on that screen.
On a side note, I think the WD application to search for open POs is one of the worst is SRM concerning the UI design.
Best regards,
Marcus

how can i conform at a time for all the line items.
Thanksin Advance,
Anthyodaya.

This function is not possible with Std SAP function.You need to use BADI or User exit to achive this function.
See below BADI - worth checking with ABAP team and see it suffice your requirement
BADI - Changing of Item Data in Transaction MIGO Use (MB_MIGO_ITEM_BAdI )
The Business Add-In is called when a new item is inserted in MIGO or when an existing item is changed.If changes are made at header-level, the Business Add-In does not run

Vendor confirmations in purchase order

Hi friends,
Iam using the fucntion module ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE to update the vendor confirmations table ie : EKES table
Now iam able to succesfully update and insert new record in this table using the above function module.
Now when i go to ME23N and give purhcase order number and at the item level in the confirmations tab i should see the updated entries of EKES table . but iam not able to see it..
when i manually add a new line in the confirmations tab then i can see that entry in the EKES table.. how can i get the reverse process ie : when i add an entry in EKES table using the above function module it should reflect in the confirmation tab at the item level in ME22N.
How can i do it.
Regards
Kumar

Well, not much more I can say. This is the code I uam using for my specific case, hope that gives you some ideas for your case:
lstr_item-acknowl_no = p_cnftxt.
lstr_item-conf_ctrl = '0001'.
lstr_itemx-acknowl_no = 'X'.
lstr_itemx-conf_ctrl = 'X'.
LOOP AT gtab_xekes_tmp INTO gstr_xekes_tmp.
    IF gstr_xekes-ebelp NE lv_ebelp AND sy-tabix > 1.
      lstr_item-po_item = gstr_xekes_tmp-ebelp.
      APPEND lstr_item TO ltab_item.
      lstr_itemx-po_item = gstr_xekes_tmp-ebelp.
      APPEND lstr_itemx TO ltab_itemx.
    ENDIF.
    lv_ebelp = gstr_xekes_tmp-ebelp.
ENDLOOP.
lstr_item-po_item = gstr_xekes_tmp-ebelp.
APPEND lstr_item TO ltab_item.
lstr_itemx-po_item = gstr_xekes_tmp-ebelp.
APPEND lstr_itemx TO ltab_itemx.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CHANGE'
    EXPORTING
      purchaseorder = p_ebeln
    TABLES
      return        = ltab_bapiret
      poitem        = ltab_item
      poitemx       = ltab_itemx.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.

** Urgent help *** Reg : Confirmations in Purchase orders .

Hi all ,
I have one requirement where the report should display open PO.s
with the materials which are 'AB' confirmed but not ' CO' confirmed before the delivery date .
I developed the report with these conditions .
My question is '<b></b> Is there any field in the table ekes or any table
stating that this particular material would be having ' CO' Confirmations
for the AB confirmed date '
Regards,
Amarnath Reddy.<b></b>

Dear Amarnath
The Confirmation category like AB,etc is define in config per Confirmation Control Key, so you should check to EKPO-EKPO for the conf.control key , and check to table T163G for the confirmation cat ,then you compare it to EKES with reference PO number and item.So i think you can consider this logic for your report development.

Purchase Orders going to suppliers with incorrect Currency

HI All,
We are using SRM 4.0 and classical scenario. We have maintained different currencies for the vendor at plant level and purchase org level in R3 system. When shopping cart is converted into PO it is picking the currency at Purchase org level and converting the value of shopping cart with reference to currency at purchase org level even though there is plant level currencies are maintained.
For Example, Vendor V1 has GBP at Purchase Org level PORG1 and we have also maintained currency for the Plant P1 as Euro.
We have created a shopping cart in 1000 Euros using PORG1 and Plant P1. The user default currency is in Euros. When we convert this shopping cart in to PO using the vendor V1, the system is converting the 1000 Euros to 750 GBP and PO is created as 750 Euros. It is converting only the value but not currency Key field.
Can you suggest what could be the resolution for such situations?
Many thanks.

Hi,
While creation of the shopping cart the currency is picked up from the attributes of the user.
If the user is having different currencies , the default currencies if picked up .
Based on this the Approval takes places.
Since you are using the classic scenario the P.O is getting converted in the ECC 6.0 only
so please check for exchange rate maintenance in t.code: OC41 is done
Based on this conversion only the P.O will be valued
