Milestone Confirmation Between Process Orders

Hi,
I am trying to create a milestone confirmation, but perhaps I am not understanding the process correctly. In my scenario I have a recipe (material A) with a phase. In this phase I create a relationship of "FF" to another recipe (material B)which is a component for material A.
Next, I create a process order for material A. Perform MRP run, and a planned order for material B (component for A) is generated based on the recipe in A. I convert this planned order into a process order and receive a relationship maintain message to which I answer yes to.
It was my understanding at this point that when I confirm the order for material A, the confirmation for material B will be carried out as well. This has not been the case. During confirmations of order for material A under "Goods Movement" should I see the 101s and 261s of material B?. Confirming order A appears to have no effect on order B?.
-Config settings for the control Key confirmation = "1" (Milestone Confirmation) , Aut. goods Reciept Checked
-Recipe relationship maintained for material A as recipe B as a Predecessor. It appears recipe for material B is also updated   respectively to recipe for material A.
Anyways, if anyone can tell me why I have the wrong idea of these relationships and why this setup will not work per my expectations in paragraph 3, it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Madhu,
First off thank you for replying, I did not think any one would after this long. If I am understanding you correctly then you are saying that each phase or operation replaces my current system of creating multiple independent process orders for each material.
I am a little familiar with the logistics of PP-PI but I am now trying to reconfigure the planning to make the situation more easily. We currently have order of material A which drives order for material B. Now, we do not know the yield of order B until the confirmation of order A is complete. So the current process puts the Yield needed of Order B into COGI error. Then this Yield is confirmed and COGI corrected. This step seems completely unnecessary and I would like to eliminate this . However we would still need to adjust components in confirmation of order B to capture production variances.
Anyways, I think I need to do some much reading on PP-PI before proceeding. However, If you could please explain what the differences between an operation, phase and task are it would be much appreciated. I have also come across the collective order option I am now investigating. Would my current situation be appropriate for applying collective order special procurement for material B, instead of maintaining relationships in the recipes. Again thank you for your insight.
Thanks,
sifter

  • Milestone Confirmation for Process Orders

    Hi,
    We are using PPPI and I am trying to perform a milestone confirmation for phase (COR6).  Although it is working without errors, it prompts you for which phase to confirm. 
    In discrete PP, you set up milestones, and when you go to CO11 - confirm operation, the system automatically goes to the details for the first milestone operation.
    Is there any way you can do this with proces orders for COR6, ie automatically go to the detail screen for the milstone phase?
    Regards,
    Fotini Delgado

    Hi
    u can use t; code COR6 : confirmation of process order
    we can enter operation number (same as final one )
    so we can directly confirm last Phase
    or
    We can use
    CORR : for collective confirmation of process order
    or
    CORZ : confirmation : for time event
    please tell me if u have any more question
    Thanks

  • Time ticket confirmation in Process Order

    Hi All,
    I am working on 6.0
    While confirming a process order with COR6N, I have set error in case operation sequence not adhered in OPK4. but while confirming if i do not adhere the sequence still it is not giving error.
    What may be the problem ?

    Hi,
    Please also check with ur control key assined to operation , if it milestone confirmation system will give error message .

  • Progress confirmation for process order

    Hello to all,
    I want to use the progress confirmation functionality for process order. I know that it is possible for production orders, but I couldn't find respective transaction for process order. Do you know if it is possible to use progress confirmation for process orders.
    BR,
    Nikolay

    Thanks for your inputs, but they are not useful!
    COR6 - it cannot be used once the order is confirmed at phase level;
    COOISPI - it's a report
    COR6N -it is the standard transaction for process order confirmation
    I want to do so-called "unplanned milestone" for process orders, something similar to CO1F for production orders.

  • Confirmation of process order create : goods movement

    Dear Sir/Madam ,
             I am using the Transaction Code - CORK for confirmation of process order , but promblem is that when i am saving the goods for confirmation then material pi101 has some error i.e the material pi101 is locked by another user or something , then that is not confirmed but rest of the material which are having 531 movement are confirmed ,
    so i want that if the first material i.e pi101 which has 101 movement that should be confirmed first then after that rest of the goods having 531 movent confirm,
    i have already  searched the userexit for transaction cork i.e CONFPI05 when saving the data and another one is CONFPI06 for   Actual data transfer plz tell me what will be the logic and which structure to call in this userexit because in this userexit the structure which is present is not of use .
    thanks and regards ,
    arun

    Hi,
    I believe you would need to append the below line for your code for goods movement.
    wa_timetickets-order_itno = p_itno.  " Order item nos.
    Check & revert if it resolves the issue.

    Process Order:
    Process order / Production order are activities within a business, where the production planning team team creates to absorb costs / evaluate costs / and check against planned figures. There would integration between MM/FI/PP to create such orders and process.
    Planned Order:
    A request created in the planning run for a plant to trigger the procurement of a plant material for a certain quantity for a specific date.
    Purchase Order:
    A request or instruction from a purchasing organization to a vendor (external supplier) or a plant to deliver a quantity of material or to perform services at a certain point in time.

  • Need help to find out link between process order and purchase order.

    Hi All,
    Need help to find out link between process order and purchase order.
    We have purchase order, we can find out associated process order in MD09 (No Purchase Requisition found in Purchase order). When I tired to replicate this scenario with same material in system but not able to do.
    Please suggest me what needs to check to get purchase order link to process order.. (this is not subcontracting )

    Edited by: SAP PQ on Sep 26, 2011 5:24 PM

    MD09 is pegging. In SAP pegging is dynamic, meaning that there's no fixed link between purchase order and process order in your case.
    This is why you did not get the same result when you tried again later.
    Such a link can exist only if you do direct procurement for the order.

  • Difference between process order and Production order

    Hi Experts,
    Can any buddy tell me the difference between process order and production order. Why process order is used for process industries. Why do we use recipe for it and routing for production order ?
    Regards,
    Amit

    Hi Amit
    There is a difference between production order and process order.
    Supposing a 10,000 lit tank is being manufactured in discrete manufacturing. You have to follow the necessary routing steps and can make by physically seeing its development stage by stage. For this type production you can have a production order.
    In case of process of order if some chemical in a reactor is loaded with intial temp of 30 C and need to be heated to 80 C then there is phase change. Hence we use Heating as an operation and the change of temp is phase. For such type of process we process order.
    Hope this is useful. Pl reward.

  • Differrence Between Process Order & Production Order

    What is differrence between Process Order & Production order apart from that process order is used in process industry & other one in discrete mfg ??

    Hi
    there isn't really any difference. The main difference is in master data: Routing vs. Recipe.
    as you have mentioned, prodn. orders are used for discrete, repetitive & virtual mfg scenarios whereas process orders are used for process industries (chemicals, pharmaceuticals etc.,) where the prodn. is non-stop.
    You can use production order or process order for the same scenario even when you are in a process industry. It is your decision to use either one, but you have to know that process order is more appropriate when you have more machine integrations and interfaces. Process order, as well, requires more master data than production order since you are clubbing both BOM & Routing in the master recipe.
    also Process Order can handle batch management and joint production scenario in a better way in comparison to the production order. Also in process order you can maintain the inprocess instructions and special control paramters for production via the process instruction key and control recipe which is not there in a prodcution order.
    hope it helps

  • Automatically confirmation in process order

    Hello everybody.
    Is there a way of confirm (TR. COR6N) a operation in a process order automatically?
    I mean, in my process orders I want that some operation (not all) been confirm with the standard duration. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    For operations you want to confirm automatically, maintain a control key which is not milestone confirmation & which has confirmation as optional. Maintain a milestone confirmation enabled control key at the end, so once you confirm this operation all previous operations are automatically confirmed.
    Eg: Operations - 0010, 0020, 0030, 0040.
    For operation 0010 & 0020 if you maintain as confirmation as optional & for operation 0030 as milestone confirmation. Now when you confirm 0030, operations 0010 & 0020 are confirmed automatically.
    To check control key details you can go to OPJ8.
    Test the above in your sandbox & adopt if it meets your need.

  • Link between process order and sales order for planning strategy 52

    Hello,
    I investigate the possibility of a link between "sales order" and "planned order / process order" for the usage of planning strategy 52 (planning w/o final assembly, make to stock).
    I know, this is not conform to the basics of planning strategies (EITHER make to order OR make to stock) and I suspect it would be a modification. Of course we have the alternative "make to order" - strategy 50, but we do not want to use individual customer stocks.
    Is anybody there with similar customer requirements or project experiences?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joerg

    Hi Jorg,
    To my understanding if you need hard pegging then in SAP only Individual requirement is possible.
    Or else you need to create a custom transactions/table to identify Sale order and when ever a process order is created by selecting the sale order record, the process order detials should also get updated against that.
    You need to take the help of ABAP expert for this,

  • Automatic confirmation in process order

    Hello everybody.
    I need made automatic confirmation to some phases in process order, I hade read that this is possible using process messages.
    Process management supports the direct confirmation from the PI sheet and process control system to the process order by sending process messages to predefined message destinations.
    Someone know what are the steps I need to follow to customize process message?
    What are the transactions that I need to use?
    In some documentation say that for access process management, I need proceed as follows:
    From the main R/3 menu, select the menu options Logistics u2192 Production - process u2192 Process management.
    The system branches to the initial process management menu. From here, you can access all the application functions of process management.
    But when I access that path there is not any transaction for use process management.
    Something is missing for install or what is the transaction that I need use?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You can do that in T Code CORW.
    For the required production scheduler select the batch creation for process order.
    Also in the Assignment tab of the process order, there is a field for batch, next to it there is a Create button. Click that, you will get the batch number in that field.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    Rohit.
    Added: I apologise, its not the Assignment tab in process order. It is Goods Receipt tab.

  • Quantity not post in auto confirmation in process order (PPPI)

    Hi Expert ,
    We are doing process order (PPPI-Route) stage wise...Now  we have ACTIVATED auto confirmation in contorl key PI01...Now system allow us to confirm only PI03 Control key...Upto that, it is ok....

    Hi Expert,
    Yes, we can get Target and Planned Qty and Cost in COR3...but we can not get Actual Qty and Actual Cost...

    Hi everyone,
    Thank you for your help.
    I got the solution of the problem I had!!
    The cause of problem is that target profit center has locked by master. (check the lock indicator)
    Therefore, process order has not costing error when calculated cost in COR2,COR1.
    Thank you!
