Milestone Confirmations & Operational Loss

Hi I have a concern with the use of operational loss during milestone confirmations.
The system will increase confirmed qty's in each each preceding operation were
operational loss exists during a milestone confirmation. Normally this would make sense however some operations prior to the milestone may be confirmed in the normal manner. 
As a result imbalances will occur when assessing the order - here's an example of the problem:
Op  Control Key   "Cnf Qty"    Loss     Comments
10   PP01               10             0        Op confirmed first via CO11n
20   PP01               11             1%     Op confirmed via operation 30 milestone 
30   Milestone         10             0        Op confirmed after operation 10 via CO11n
40   PP01                0              0        No yet confirmed
50   PP01                0              0        No yet confirmed
Does anyone know if you can change this logic so that the milestone will not inflate preceding operations by it's operational loss? I don't want to remove the operational loss as a solution.
Clearly the above scenario would play havoc with production stats. If op 10 confirmed 10 then how can 20 have 11 going through it (it should equal the qty confirmed at 30).

Hi Alex
check the routing for the operation 30 in operation details for the operation scrap.
if you maintain the operation scrap 10% then if you confirm 10 at operation 30 then the system will expect 11 from opertaion 20.
remove the operation scrap and then execute the milestone confirmation. now for operation 20 also only 10 will be confirmes.
Hope this helps

  • Milestone Confirmation Characteristic/Configuration

    Good morning,
    We are having an issue with an error when using a Milestone confirmation operation, "Preceding operation 005 of sequence 0 not yet confirmed."
    This is a warning when reporting operation step that is later in process on a standard confirmaiton step but is an error (hard stop) when using a Milestone confirmation.
    Is this configurable or is there a work around?
    Example:
    Op 10 Standard conf
    Op 20 Milestone conf
    Op 30 Standard conf
    Op 10 not yet confirmed
    Op 20 not yet confirmed
    Op 30 attempting to confirm and receiving error, "Preceding operation 005 of sequence 0 not yet confirmed."
    I understand that this does not make logical sense because these should be done in order, but we have a 3rd party software which batches the transactions. The batch may contain both 20 and 30 Op confirmations but it does 30 first and receives an error.
    Any direction is much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Dear Sir,
         There are two type of confirmation.
    1. Progresive Confirmation
    2.Milestone Confirmation
    In Progresive confirmation , we have to confirm each opertion of the routing of the production order
    In  Milestone confirmation,it is assumed that if the lats opertaion is confirmed all the preceding opertion is confirmed., as the milestome confirmation is generally being placed at the last operation

  • Activity type & milestone confirmations

    Hi all,
    The process order has 5 opeartions. The 5th operation is marked as milestone confirmation by it's control key. The power consumption data is assigned to the 2nd opertaion. (for ex--- 100 kwh for 1000 kg base qty)
    During confirmations only 5 th operation as cofirmed since it is a milestone confirmed operation. With this previous 4 operations should get automatically confirmed.
    But what data i.e value will be assigned to the actvity type---power consumption which is present in the 2nd operation????? (assume that a process order of 2000 kg & confirmed yield is also 2000 kg)
    From which table i can retrive this data if want to customize a z-report????
    Regards,
    Manish

    Hi MHP,
    When you perform mile stone confirmation at operation 5, then operation 1 to 4 will be confirmed to the extent of qty you mentioned in opeation 5 at standard value mentinoed in your routing / work center data.
    Example say at opeartion 2 your Standard value  100 kwh for 1000 kg base qty
    if say at opeartion 5 your confiremd 500 kg (work content or produced qty) then if you have not defiend any Standard formula calculation in the workcenter operation then system will  confirm 50 KWh.. this is just the system behaviour.
    You can get these information in standard SAP table as mentioned by other above.

  • Milestone confirmation final operation not auto confirming 1st operation

    Hi,
    We have a Prod Order which has a soft Routing with 3 operations. The third operation is with a control key which allows Milestone Confirmation. When the third operation is confirmed, the first operation is not automatically confirmed.
    Need to know why the first operation is not automatically confirmed.
    Immediate response is very much appreciated.

    Hi,
        Pls check the following

  • Milestone confirmation and scrap operation

    Good morning :o)
    I created a new Control Key u2018ZMILu2019 which is a direct copy from our standard control key u2018PP01 u2013 Automatic Goods Receiptu2019 but with the Milestone Confirmation indicator set.
    I then created a new routing for material X, added 2 operations:
    0010 u2013 V1 u2013 PP02 (No Auto GR)
    0030 u2013 V1 u2013 ZMIL (Auto GR + Milestone) (I made a mistake and had to delete 0020, hence 0030)
    I then processed a confirmation against 0030 and all looked fine, it back-flushed the correct material and attracted the correct costs to the MAC/LAB activities assigned against each operation.
    I then processed a scrap confirmation against operation 0010, it correctly issued another 261 for the appropriate back-flush material/qty but it didnu2019t attract any extra activity cost for the quantity posted in the confirmation, do you know why this is? I assume itu2019s likely a setting against control key ZP02?

    Good evening,
    OK after some testing I have found the following:
    If I scrap via CO11N everything is updated as required but if I go via the SAP console (LM01) and scrap the product I find the following:
    Running transaction CO14, I see the scrap Qty, if I then go into details I can see the Qty has been updated but the activities have not!!
    If I scrap with CO11N and follow the above process the activities are being updated against the scrap qty value.
    A little lost on this one, any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Reporting point backflush and milestone confirmation

    hello pp experts,
                           if we have the option of milestone confirmation then why do we use reporting point backflush, actually what's the difference between them?

    Dear,
    If u do confirmation without RP it is like order level confirmation co15 in discrt all teh opeation is confirmed at once.Here u canot use operation wise.
    So in REM we use MFBF reporting point back flush like CO11n which carried out on operation basis as milestone  operation is confirm previous also get confirm.
    To see the RP overview after confiramtion at each RP u can use MF26, this will give WIP qty to be conformed at each reporting point.
    Hope clear to you.

  • Milestone Confirmation of Phases

    ello,
    In our design of master recipe, we have two operations 0010 & 0040 each with 2 phases. Milestone control key
    is assigned to the last phase. FS relationship is maintained betweed  the phases. The phases for both
    operations have activities maintained to be confirmed as per standard values in the resource.
    When I am doing milestone confirmation for the last phase using COr6N, clicking on the actual data is not
    giving automatically the activities for the previous phases (assigned to 1st operation) to be confirmed. The
    activity value assigned to the last operation is available for confirming.
    However on confirmation the previous phases are getting confirmed.
    is it that for phases with different operations, the milestone confirmation does not propose the activities
    of previous phases to be confirmed?

    Dear Debdutta1
    you will not be able to see  activities for the previous phases if you post the milestone. In case of milestone the system post the planned activities based on the quantity. See
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/b1/c04d69439a11d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    [....] In milestone confirmations, planned activities are always posted on the basis of the confirmed quantity. If you have entered activities manually during a milestone operation, planned activities are also confirmed when the preceding operations are automatically confirmed. The exception to this is the setup times, which are always confirmed fully, independently of the entered quantity [...]
    Hope this helps.

  • 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

    0040         *      0030       01       N13               PI02
    Now in above scenariao when i confirm 0040 then 0020 should be confim autoamtically
    Thanks

    Hi  Prasobh,
    Thank you for responding
    We have used ZPI4 in place of PI02
    In ZPI4 I have set indicators like
    scheduling
    det cap req
    print time ticket
    prnt confirmation
    print
    cost
    External processing =  Interanlly processed operation
    Confiramtion =1  Milestone confirmation
    Even though i am not able to confirm previous operation, only 0040 operation is confirmed.

  • 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,
    sifter

    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,

  • Error in Confirm Operations in transation CO12

    Dear all.
         When we are at CO12 transaction confirming operation 020, we need to confirm operation 010 automaticaly.. 
         I used an Exit to do this...In this exit i confirm the 010 operation using a BAPI, and the operation 10 is confirmed. 
         But we have a litle problem, the problem is that when i return to the main window and try to press the button "Propose Actual Data" i get a Dump in the system. 
    "Exception condition "ERROR_READ_AFVG" raised 
         The termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLCOBO" in  "CO_BT_AFVG_READ_WITH_INDEX". 
    The main program was "CORUCOLCONF1 ". 
         The termination occurred in line 60 of the source code of the (Include) 
    program "LCOBOU03" 
    of the source code of program "LCOBOU03" (when calling the editor 600)." 
         I've debugged the program and saw that there is an internal table (standard) called AFVG_BT is completly empty in contradicton with the same internal table (that is full with all the order operations) when i just confirm the 010 operation manually.
    Best Regards,
    Thanks in Advanced,
    PMR.

    after Confirming Operation 10 , Just check the table Entries of AFRU for this Operation.I think That BAPI is not creating the Operations .

  • How to confirm operation wise confirmation.

    Hi,
       please tell me how to confirm operation wise confirmation in details.
           Thanks
            parag

    Hi Parag,
    Confirmation against a production order can be done in 2 ways :
    1. Confirmation against each operation of an Order can be done  in Tcode : CO11 /CO11N
    2. Order Confirmation can be done in Tcode : CO15.
    My understanding about your problem is you want to confirm operation wise and the procedure for the same is goto Tcode : CO11N and enter the production order number and Operation number say 0010 and enter the Yield/ Scrap qty and save it. If there are any components assigned to operation 0010 as back flush in routing / order, then system will consume those bom items with movement type 261. You can check the components which are assigned to this operation with backflush in teh goods movement Tab screen in Tcode : CO11N itself.
    Next Enter the Prod order number and the next operation number say 0020 and enter the same yield qty as operation 0010  or different qty and save it. If any back flush items are assigned to this operation then on saving system does goods issue (with movt type 261) for those items.
    After saving you can check the goods movement in the prodution order Tcode : CO03. Goto document goods movement s and chk the same. For showing this the order type dependent parameters should be configured for the same.

  • Last Confirmed Operation.

    Hi,
    What table and field can I use to find the last confirmed operation for a production order?
    Requirement:
    Production order: 1001
    Operations:
    1. Commission (Status CNF)
    2. Drilling (Status CNF)
    3. Milling (Status REL PRT)
    4. Package (Status REL PRT)
    Now, I want to pull a report that shows me the order number and Drilling as the last confirmed operation. Or even better if it shows me order number and the next operation in the sequence.
    My goal is to find the last operations confirmed for a list of orders. COOIS gives me list of all operations and shows me the status, and I am not looking for this. I do not want to see all operations.
    Your help will me greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Dear Mr.Rao,
    Ok one more try as follows, CO03 ---Enter the production order -
    Press F5 or
    Goto ---Overview ---Operation,Select the first operation 0010 (select that row) and
    in the top goto operation -
    display confirmation.
    Suppose if activity is not yet confirmed you will get a message "No confirmation
    exists for operation 0010.
    Check with this & revert.
