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.

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.

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!

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 Should be mandatory for PO document type

Hi All,
I want to know, is there any configuration settings to make mandatory "confirmation control key" for the Particular Purchasing document type's.
If it is not there what should be the best to achieve this requirement.
Thanks in Advance,
Shankar.

Hi
I think there is no standard setting to make mandatory document "confirmation control key" for the Particular Purchasing document type's.
Best way is to maintain in Purchasing view of vendor master record since confirmations rare sent by the vendor.If you want for some perticular materials you can maintain in Purchasing info record.

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.

For NB PO's, the confirmation control key (CCK) can be determined by the 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)

Purchase order confirmation control key issue

Hi,
We have an issue about vendor confirmation control key in transactions ME21N/ME22N
We have custom document types defined , ZNB - this is normal purchase order for external vendors and ZSTO - this is stock transfer orders between plants belonging to our corporation.
For ZNB we can introduce the confirmation control keys with no problem.
But when we try to introduce the confirmation control key for the ZSTO document type, the value is simply ignored and the field is reset to blank (NO error message)
My question what can be the reason for this , probably there is some customizing setup that creates this behaviour but I cannot find it.
Thanks
H.Z.

I put this succesive screen shots, first I select the confirmation key and after pressing enter the field is reset to blank .....
I was trying to find also user exista but with no success so far ....
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.
