PO order acknowledgement, original conformation date

Hi folks,
We have an interface where we receive ORDER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT DATE, ORIGINAL CONFORMATION DATE from vendors.
Can you please let me know which FIELDS in EKKO/EKPO tables these correspond to.
Sincerely,
Sanjay

Sanjay,
Many people who receive confirmations from vendors don't put the confirmations in the header or item tables, they create a confirmation key, and then enter the confirmations as 'confirmations'.
You can configure a confirmation key in OMGZ.
Then, the confirmation would usually be entered in table EKES. Depending on the meaning of the data that your vendor is sending you (you should get a data definition from your Vendor's EDI contact), you would probably enter
ORDER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT DATE into EKES-ERDAT
ORIGINAL CONFIRMATION DATE into EKES-EINDT
You will also notice many other fields available in EKES to enter bits of info that are commonly sent by many vendors.
The confirmation can be made relevant to MRP (rather than the item schedules) if you wish.

Creation of Inbound delivery without Order acknowledgment

Hi,
We have a scenario where we raise Purchase order to Vendor. The Vendor sent the confirmation (Delivery date, qty, etc) via IDOC. This updates the Order acknowledgement and also the confirmation information in PO.
When the Vendo creates a Outbound delivery in this system, it sends another IDOC which creates a Inbound delivery automatically in my system.
In some cases the confirmation IDoc fails. We want that in such case the Inbound delivery should be created unless we get the correct confirmation.
In other words, system should not create Inbound delivery if order acknowledgement fails.
Is this possible in standard SAP

Hi,
What is the reason for not generating inbound delivery without a confirmation? Wouldn't the business on receiving plant be interested in getting inbound delivery asap, so that they can plan their operations based on the incoming goods details?
I don't think you can control that simply from confirmation control key. There is the 'expected sequence' but it does not stop the process if you proceed without confirmation.
Note that there are lots of other complications if there was such a requirement. What if first item is fully confirmed, but another is not. Would you like to create inbound delivery only for the confirmed item?
And what for Scheduling Agreements? The confirmations/inbound deliveries are at item level only (and not at delivery schedule line). So you don't fully control what quantities were confirmed and which are still 'open' for confirmation.
If you want to apply such a logic, then most probably custom solution at inb. delivery creation would be required.

Sales Order Acknowledgement by Workflow

Hi All,
The client requirement is to send the Order acknowledgement to their customers by Workflow and not through the output condition technique. I am new to workflow. The order acknowledment needs to be sent as an attachment in the e-mail and it should be an ADOBE form. Can someone give me helpful liks/inputs to achieve this? I searched in the forum but no luck..

Please refer to the below steps for triggering a workflow whenever a Sales Order is created :-
Step 1:- Go to the T-code "SWEC", select your business object as BUS2032 and highlight the event where you want the trigering should happen. Like for example in your case the triggering should happen after the Sales Order is confirmed.
Step 2:- Call the workflow in user exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT of MV45AFZZ.
Anyway you can refer the below link for workflows scenario related SAP-SD and i would suggest you to discuss elaborately with a technical consultant for this set up.

Reg:-ORIGINAL PROMISE DATE OF PO

Hi all,
We have bulit a report on Purchase Order Receipts. In that we are having three columns i.e. Current Promise Date, Need by Date, Original Promise Date.
NOW – the problem is that the ORIGINAL PROMISE date is not accurate when there is multiple shipments for a PO Line.It is pulling the original promise date from shipment #1 in all cases instead of taking it from the correct shipment number.
EXAMPLES WHERE PO LINE HAS MULTIPLE SHIPMENTS:
PO 100004
LINE – 1
SHIPMENT – 6
Report is showing Original Promise Date as 10/11/2011, but in Oracle the Original Promise is 12/21/11 (IT IS PULLING THE ORIGINAL PROMISE DATE FROM SHIPMENT #1)
and same is the case for shipments 5,6,7,8 are incorrect as well.
In the source Extract we are using this query to pull Original Promise Date:
SELECT PO_LINE_ID,PROMISED_DATE AS ORIGINAL_PROMISED_DATE
FROM
SELECT LINE_LOCATION_ID,PO_LINE_ID,PROMISED_DATE,LAST_UPDATE_DATE,REVISION_NUM,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY PO_LINE_ID ORDER BY REVISION_NUM ASC) RN
FROM APPS.PO_LINE_LOCATIONS_ARCHIVE_ALL
) ORIG_PROMIS_DATE WHERE RN=1) ORIGIN_PROMISED_DT
Please let me know whether the logic we are using is correct or not.
Thanx in advance.

You should do a "PARTITION BY line_location_id" ; not po_line_id.
If you do it by po_line_id, it is giving one record for each line even if you have multiple shipments.
You need one record for each shipment.

How to implement line numbers in order acknowledge report

Hi all,
        I am newbie to Oracle Reports.
I have an order acknowledgement report in which i show columns like
line number
Ordered item
ship from
quantity
unit price
extended price
In above table format i need to show line numbers as 1.1
                                                                              1.2
                                                                              1.3....
                                                                               2.1

so, how can i achieve this functionality
Thanks

That still doesn't say much. How do you need to get from line number in your table to line number on the report? Give an example of your data.
I can give you an example:
with line_numbers as (
select 11 lineno from dual
union all
select 12 lineno from dual
union all
select 13 lineno from dual
union all
select 21 lineno from dual
select lineno /10 lineno
from line_numbers
order by lineno
LINENO
1.1
1.2
1.3

Hi
Check help provided by SAP
Monitoring Vendor Confirmations
Use
The confirmation monitoring facility enables you to check whether the expected confirmations have been received and whether the delivery quantities and dates are as you requested. The list analyses that are available for monitoring purposes provide you at all times with an overview of the status of your purchase orders and their influence on materials planning and control.
Prerequisites
_ Analyses are only possible for items having a confirmation control key.
_ You can specify the deadline for receipt of confirmations for each confirmation category in
Customizing for Purchasing (Confirmations _ Set up confirmation control under Confirmation
sequence.)
You can specify in Customizing that you wish to see the following in the monitoring list,
for example:
_ Which order acknowledgments have still not been received a certain number of days
after the PO date
_ Which shipping notifications have still not been received a certain number of days before
the delivery date
Activities
To monitor vendor confirmations, choose <Purchasing document> ___Reporting___Monitor
confirmations.
Order Acknowledgment Expediters
Use
You can send messages to vendors urging them to submit outstanding order acknowledgments.
You cannot issue such messages with respect to other vendor confirmation categories.
Prerequisites
A prerequisite is that the Acknowledgment requirement indicator has been set in each relevant
PO or scheduling agreement item.
Activities
<b>Choose <Purchasing document> _ Messages _ Monitor order acknowledgment</b>.
If the indicator has been set, the system proceeds as follows when the reminder program is run:
It checks whether the confirmation control key has been set:
1. If it has not, it checks whether the acknowledgment number has been entered. If there is
no such number, a message urging the vendor to submit the overdue acknowledgment is
issued.
2. If it has, the sum of the quantities from all previous order acknowledgments is calculated.
If the result is less than the order quantity, an urging message (expediter) is issued.
Creating a PO or Outl. Agreement w. Acknowl. Reqt.
1. Create a purchase order or an outline purchase agreement and maintain the items.
2. Select the item to be acknowledged by the vendor and enter a confirmation control key in the
Deadline monitoring area of the item detail screen.
If the confirmation control key provides for the submission of order acknowledgments by
the vendor, and you wish to urge the latter to do so in the event that they are still
outstanding after a certain period of time, set the Acknowledgment requirement indicator.
3. Save the purchase order.
If you wish to work exclusively with order acknowledgments (i.e. without using a
confirmation control key), your only option is to set this indicator. You need not make
any other entries.
Monitoring Confirmations
Monitoring Confirmations in PO or Outline Agreement
1. Select the item for which you wish to see the accumulated confirmations and choose Item _
Confirmations _ Lists.
2. Then branch to one of the following lists:
Quantities relevant to MRP
Quantities that have been reduced/offset with regard to MRP
Cumulative quantities
A line from a PO delivery schedule covering 100 tons of steel is reduced to zero as a
result of the relevant order acknowledgment for 100 tons. The subsequent inbound
delivery of 100 tons in turn reduces the order acknowledgment quantity to zero, and,
finally, the GR of 100 tons completely offsets the inbound-delivery quantity.
Monitoring Several POs or Outline Agreements
1. Choose Purchase order _ Reporting _ Monitor confirmations.
2. Specify an interval of purchase orders and enter the category of confirmations to be
monitored (for example, AB for order acknowledgment).
3. Choose Program _ Execute.
You obtain a list of all variant quantities and delivery dates.
Manual Maintenance of Confirmations
1. Change the purchase order or scheduling agreement.
2. Select the item for which you wish to enter a confirmation and choose Item _
Confirmations _ Overview.
3. On the confirmation overview screen, maintain the confirmation category, date, time-spot,
and quantity, as well as the confirmation number used by the vendor.
You can also receive a confirmation with respect to a material with a manufacturer part
number (MPN). For more on this topic, refer to Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) [Page
452]).
If you work exclusively with order acknowledgments (i.e. without using a confirmation
control key), enter the acknowledgment number on the item detail screen. This
number can be any identifier customarily used in your enterprise (e.g. the date of the
order acknowledgment or an external document number).
If you wish to enter the same number for each item, choose Edit _ Fast change.
Quantity Checks
_ If a vendor notifies a quantity that is greater than the still-open notified quantity, the system
issues a warning message.
_ If the cumulative quantity from all inbound deliveries relating to a PO item exceeds the order
quantity (taking the overdelivery tolerance into account), the system issues a warning
message.
This warning can also be defined as an error message on a user-specific basis.
_ If the cumulative notified quantity is less than the quantity already delivered, a warning
message is issued.
Depending on your settings in Customizing, an indicator showing whether or not the data in the
confirmation is used in materials planning is set in column D. If the indicator has not been set, the
data is for information only.
In column E, you can see whether the confirmation was entered manually in the PO (1), or
generated automatically upon entry of a shipping notification using the function Create inbound
delivery (2).
Creating Inbound Delivery Against Shipping Notif.
1. Choose Purchase order _ Inbound delivery _ Create.
2. On the initial screen, enter the vendor, the delivery date and the PO number. You also have
the option of entering a transport identification code (e.g. a vehicle registration number). In
this way, deliveries for several purchase orders can be grouped together.
If you do not know the PO number, choose Inbound delivery _ Select purchase orders
and enter selection criteria.
Choose Program _ Execute.
You obtain a list of the purchase orders from the specified number interval that contain
still-open notified quantities.
Select the relevant purchase orders and choose Adopt selected.
3. Press ENTER. The overview screen with the suggested quantities appears.
The default quantity is taken from the PO item. However, you can overwrite this
suggested quantity and enter a different unit of measure. In order for this to be possible,
the desired unit must be defined as an alternative unit of measure in the material master
record with the appropriate conversion factor.
All quantities (e.g. the notified quantity) are converted into the order unit and recorded in
the purchase order by the system.
You have a PO for 100 tons of Steel 1, and the vendor sends you a shipping
notification for 5 crates. You wish to enter the inbound delivery in the unit of
measure crate. The system checks whether the alternative unit of measure can be
converted into the order unit. If so, you can save the inbound delivery in the
alternative unit.
A batch split can be made in the inbound delivery, which is taken into account in the
confirmation overview for the purchase order and at the time of goods receipt. If the
batch split is to be taken into account at the time of goods receipt, the confirmation
category Inbound delivery must be confirmation-related (GR assignment indicator).
4. Check the data and make any necessary changes.
5. Save the document.
After this, the confirmation overview is updated in the relevant purchase orders.

Sales order acknowledgement depending on changes

Hello,
I want the sales order acknowledgement to be printed again only when te delivery date is changed or (a part of) the order is cancelled. Is this possible?
Regards, Jan
Edited by: J. Borgerink on Apr 13, 2010 10:34 AM

This requirement can be fulfilled by the help of ABAPer only.In smart-form ,you would have to maintain logic with the required fields.
As per my understanding , order cancelled means order is closed by giving Reason Rejection.So use VBAP - ABGRU field in the smart form with respective to POSNR.

Display original clip date-time

I'm using FCPX 10.0 to mount a video whish must display the original clip date-time.
I have found a timecode generator, a free TimeDate generators by RippleTraining but no one to simply print the *original* clip date time, as well as I can see on my Video-Cam simply pressing a button. I need to show that date-time (as Fri, April 14th 2014 - 11:19:59 a.m.) changing in real time, exacly as in a video-surveillance movie, because of legal reasons.
Any idea?

You can have a custom table where u can store date-time of search, and can track, accordingly by order by clause to get the last search date-time.

On Time Delivery Reporting - Capturing original promise date to customers?

We have a business metric that we use to track how well we do based on what we told our customers the delivery date was versus when we actually delivered the product(s). However, because of rescheduling, usually this original date that was "promised" is "lost" because of the new delivery date that is proposed. Therefore, we are unable to report on what we originally told the customer.
Does anybody have any suggestions or experience in this area? How do you report on how well you do in terms of delivering to your customers? How do you measure your "on time" delivery?
Thank you, Paul

you will not be in a position to track this data unless & otherwise you had recorded the schedule line details on a timely basis.
Say for an example, if you are scheduling the V_V2 or rescheduling option.
You go for a ztable where u have the VBBE/VBEP table details recorded seperately or you can save the details of this output on a local system (ideally we can have this data collected just before the run of V_V2 or rescheduling) and this can be used for evaluation / comparison on the original proposed date at the order level and the actual GI date recorded at the delivery level.

How to prevent PO changes in ME22N after Order acknowledgement?

Hi everyone,
        Can anyone tell me how to prevent PO changes (ANY) in ME22N after Order acknowledgement?
        I would like to make it possible without release strategy process or authorizations.
        Do you know some User Exit or Customazing way?
Regards.
Jaime S.

Dear Jaime S,
You can do this by restricting in authorization SHDO and also by marking "changes not possible after release" in Release strategy procedure.
And also you can navigate the menu to, SPRO------>IMG------>Material Management--->Purchasing(OLME)------->Purchase Order---->Define screen Layouts at Document Level---->And go to ME22n And Select the right parameter and in this you can make it display, optional or required entry for the fields.
