Order confirmation control - Urgent Please help

Question

Dear all hi,
I have 4 opeartions in an order, i want the system to restrict the operations confirmations by NOT allowing to record the preceeding operation timings again to a succeeding operation. but sytem is allowing to record the entries in the following way.... which is wrong for my client's requirement & this is a std sequence.
Ex oprn 0010
date 24/01/20008
Start time : 08:00:00 hrs
end time   : 17:30:00 hrs
No problem with this oprn.,
Ex oprn 0020
date 25/01/20008
Start time : 08:00:00 hrs
end time   : 12:30:00 hrs
No problem with this oprn.,
Ex oprn 0030
date 25/01/20008
Start time : 08:00:00 hrs
end time   : 17:30:00 hrs
Here date & time are repeated from 1st oprn.,
Ex oprn 0040
date 24/01/20008
Start time : 08:00:00 hrs
end time   : 17:30:00 hrs
Here date & time are repeated from 4th oprn.,
in the above example there is repeation of date & time for different operations, but the system is allowing to make such entries.
How to make it error when the date & time are being repeated for different operations, please help & thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi Shaiz,
Double click on operation number, it will take you to the detailed screen, where you set the releation between operations. So once you set NO OVERLAPPING in routing, the production order operation time will never be same.
But standard SAP can only control your Operation Sequence in confirmation but NOT the OVERLAPPING TIME ( Which is your specific reqmt)
So only option to achieve the time sequencing in confirmation is by user exit while conirmation. OR give a thought in using the milestone confirmation, it may resolve to some extent your reqmt.
