Production Order Confirm/Label Printing problems

I am currently having issues printing out labels for production orders. Whenever I confirm an order, our printer will print out a different quantity or no label at all.
Here is a brief history of production order confirmations today....
Entered                Printed
80                           40 (2 labels of 20)
20                           No Print
20                           No Print
40                           No Print
ALL confirmations were accepted by SAP
SAP WILL often drag during a normal confirmation when correct labels are printed
SAP will NOT drag when a confirmation is entered and no labels are printed
Yesterday I had a confirmation for 10 print out a label for 19. All of the quantities in SAP are correct, it's only the printer that is creating labels for different quantities. If all the lot sizes in SAP are correct, what do you think the issue might be?

Hi,
Based on what i understand of your query, would suggest to work with your technical person to have a look at the print program. The delay you notice or the incorrect data being printed might have to do with the program.

Production order confirmation problems

My production facility has been having problems for years centered around the production order confirmation process. My colleagues and I are considering submitting an OSS note to SAP, but figured that we should present our problems in these forums before making that next step.
Here are some individual issues which I believe may be related. All of these issues occur off and on at random. They will typically occur when more users are working in the SAP system or when SAP is running slow.
- When an order is confirmed and a label is printed, sometimes the quantity on the label will be incorrect. Sometimes no label will print out at all. When the order is unconfirmed and then reconfirmed again, a label prints out with the correct quantity.
- When a confirmation is unconfirmed, the unconfirmation will not backflush the associated materials correctly. Sometimes this error will appear in CO1P for us to re-confirm, but not always.
- Sometimes confirmations will only backflush certain materials and not ALL the components within the production order. When the confirmation is unconfirmed and then reconfirmed again, the confirmation will backflush all materials correctly.
These problems occur at random intervals and never present the user with an error. Close to 100% of the time all the confirmation issues will be corrected by simply u201Cre-doingu201D the confirmation as we did the first time (no changes in the process). Only the second time around there will not be any issues. This leads me to believe there is some internal issue with SAP, perhaps involving which tables CO11N pulls from when a confirmation is made.
Any and all help is appreciated. We currently run the AFS version of SAP. This is my last stop before submitting an OSS note.

Hi,
I have not worked on AFS, so consider the below as a pointer which might help:
When you post confirmations & notice that the components are not being backflushed, check in COGI it could be that there are some incorrect goods movement. You will be required to clear these entries from COGI.
I suspect that you notice these because, the confirmations are being posted even before the stock for the same has been received & hence the issue with labels as well.
Do a check on the above, if it resolves the issue, then i would suggest re-design the process to ensure you do not have COGI or COFC entries.
Also do a search in OSS for AFS specific notes on confirmation.
Hope it helps.

Vivek

Production order confirmation detail problem

Hi,
how can i get the production order confirmation detail by sending confirmation mumber alone?
in BAPI_PRODORDCONF_GETDETAIL, it need confirmation counter. but if i know confirmation number alone, how can i get the details? which BAPI shall i use to get the confirmation details by sending confirmation number alone?
regards
senthil

Dear Senthil,
I saw you already solved this thread.
call function 'BAPI_PRODORDCONF_GETDETAIL'
      exporting
        confirmation              = conf_detail_2-conf_no
        confirmationcounter       = conf_detail_2-conf_cnt
     importing
     RETURN                    = i_return2
       conf_detail               = conf_detail_3 .
In this FM there has no any tables.
How can I get the details?
Could you please advice me?
Thanks in advance.

URGENT: Prob with Production Order Confirmation

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem with Production Order Confirmation.
When I am confirming a Prod Order and if the components present are more than '999', then error is being thrown and Material Document Number is not being created.
I want to split the records into 500 slots and pass them at a time for the creation of the Production Order so that it doesnt throw me an error while creating a Material Document No.
While saving the Production Order confirmation order, it should split the records into 500 slots each and then create Material Document No for each slot.
Can anyone please help me out in this regard, how to solve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Harish Kalla

Hi Harish,
This problem is addressed in OSS Note : 36353
The Symptom reads like this
==========================================================================
When you post documents using the AC interface (from SD, MM or other applications), items appear in the FI document which are identical in all or in almost all fields.
This can also cause error message F5 727 ("Maximum number of items in FI reached"). The system issues this error if more than 999 items occur in an FI document.
===========================================================================
This Note is an elaborate one..
Hence, go through this and ask your FI Consultant to help you in this regard.
All the best..
Regards,
Siva

Production order confirmation document

Hi All,
After carrying out production order confirmation, material document generated is not displayed at the front end.Instead we get messege that "confirmation of order XXX is saved".We have to view that in MB51/COOIS .
How to display confirmation material document number ( Not confirmation number ) in the front endscreen. This is required as user can write down document number at the time of confirmation for his record.
Whether there is any option?
Regards,
Milind.

Hi,
Do the below given settings to print your confirmation document after you confirm the production order.
Go to OPJ8, check on print confirmation.
Now you do the confirmation. You will get the confirmation slips.
Thanks

GR qty showing less than production order confirmation qty

Hello Experts,
Greetings.
My issue is while doing production order confirmation(CO12),for some materials it shows less GR quantity than the confirmation qty.I m wondering how it can be possible?
What could be the problem?
Plz advice.
Thanks
Nitin

Confirmed qty of each operation and delivery qty at the header are two different fields. Confirmed qty will be the same with the yield to conf. during confirmation. Whereas, the GR qty is equal to the total sum of quantity received from the order.
Check whether during confirmation you create auto GR or not. If yes, then check the COGI t-code. There might be some error log of goods receipt in there. If no, then check GR qty in document goods movement compared to confirmed qty during confirmation.
Hope it helps.

Checks in userexits of production order confirmations from PDC in CO16N

Hi,
we are using PDC interface for production order confirmations. This is done by Idoc type PPCC2PRETTICKET01 (time ticket) based on BAPI BAPI_PRODORDCONF_PDC_UPLOAD_TT. Standard confirmations are working well. In case of SAP detected errors the confirmations are registered for error handling in CO16N.
So far so good but we have some own check logic implemented in confirmation user exit CONFPP04 and BADI WORKORDER_CONFIRM. These checks are working fine whith online confirmations in CO11N but not in background PDC Idoc processing. I checked the function module EXIT_SAPLCORF_104 for exit CONFPP04 but it has got no exception. The call in SAP processing is like this:
      CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '104'
           EXPORTING
                CAUFVD_IMP    = I_CAUFVD
                AFVGD_IMP     = I_AFVGD
                AFRUD_IMP     = E_AFRUD
           IMPORTING
                AFRUD_EXP     = LS_AFRUD
           EXCEPTIONS
                ERROR_MESSAGE = 01
                OTHERS        = 02.
CASE SY-SUBRC.
    WHEN 0.
    WHEN 1.
      MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO WITH
              SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4
              RAISING CONF_DATA_FALSE.
    WHEN 2.
      MESSAGE E174 RAISING CONF_DATA_FALSE.
How can I throw the exception when there is no exception defined in the function module interface without modification?
As 2. option I wonder if it is better to implement the check logic in the BADI WORKORDER_CONFIRM Method AT_SAVE. This has got an exception ERROR_WITH_MESSAGE. But I don't know if this will lead to CO16N registration of the confirmation.
Any hint how I can solve the problem to apply the online checks in CO11N also to PDC interface confirmations with CO16N in error case?

Hi Michael,
First, I think that the BAPI that you are looking for is: BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_HDR
Second,
I don't think that in the framework of such a forum it can be explained in detail how to use BAPIs; nevertheless, here are some highlights:
A BAPI is an executable piece of code that can be called from either an external program within SAP (Z program), or called from an external system either via RFC, or as a web service (depends on your NetWeaver release).
As such, it has input (import) data that you transfer when you call it, and output (export) data that you recieve when it ended processing.
More detailed information, documentation, and a description of the import/export parameters, as well as error handling, one can find in SAP by calling transaction BAPI.

Mario

Production order confirmation thru IDoc , IDoc has been processed twice

Hi Experts,
Good day.
I have a problem with my Production orders confirmation using IDoc automatic processing.
I have an IDoc that has successfully confirmed a Production order, the Idoc has a status of 53.
However, after a month, the Idoc has been used again on a different Production order confirmation, and the IDoc resulted again to status 53.
Could you kindly confirm if this a SAP standard behavior or an error? If this is an error, is there any available SAP notes that I can use.
Here is the spec of our system:
ECC 5.00 - SP SAPKH50015
Please kindly provide us your idea on this.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,

Hi Rosalinda, i have the same problem. You found some solution ?

Production Order confirmation - GI - Backflushing

Hello,
Our requirement is that during, production order confirmation, even if materials are not available, system should allow us to confirm the order. Later will issue GI through COGI.
In OPK4, in the tab "Individual Entry General" we have not checked the boxes in 1) Goods Movements & 2) Termination for Incorrect movements.
Here the important point is , we are making use of the functionality "Back Flushing". Iam afraid system should support our requirement?
Pl. let me know, what config, should i do for this to happen?
Best regards,
K.kumar.

1 Our requirement is that during, production order confirmation, even if materials are not available, system should allow us to confirm the order. Later will issue GI through COGI.
This setting is enough for above Requiremnt

Production Order Confirmation saved but no goods movement happening

Hi Folks,
I have implemented an enhancement while Production Order Confirmation ( txn CO11N). The enhancment works as follow:
I have a production order with quantiy 2. Now I am making confirmation for quantity 1. In the enhancement, i have used a BAPI called BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF to create another production order with the remaining quantity 1.
As of now everything works fine and a new prod order is created with quantity 1.
Now, I release this newly created prod order and make GR for the same. The problem here is, now when I try to confirm this newly created prod order ( txn CO11N), the confimation is saved but the goods movement does not happen. I get a message saying " Confirmation saved (Goods movement 0, failed 1) ".
The original order is of type PP01 and everything works fine for it. The newly created order is of type ZRWK (rework) and for this only confimation is saved but no goods movement.
Request you to please suggest how can I remove this error and make goods movement as that of for the original order.
Thank you.
Regards,
Sud.

Hi
Check if you have something in the tcode COGI. Perhaps you don't have enough stock of raw materials

Serial Number. Production Order Confirmation. GR. UD. Sales Delivery

Hi Gurus,
Please help on this issue to get any user exits .....
As part of Serial number management, we have a certain issues on serial number confirmation, goods receipt from production order and quality inspection with UD.
Master data:
Finished product material master, Workscheduling view, Serial number profile maintained " ASRN"
Process flow:
1) Avalon Specific Serial numbers generation for finished goods through production order release status.
              (A11206000001)
                                    A - Avalon
                                    1   - PCB Unit 1
                                    12 - Year 2012
                                    06 - Week
                                    000001 - Running serial number for the week.
2) Production order confirmation through CO11n transaction.
3) Production order Goods receipt through MIGO transaction against order.
4) Quality Inspection with Usage Decision through QA32 transaction.
5) Goods Issue for Delivery.
SAP Product Error:
1) System does not track and control the operation wise confirmed serial numbers during order confirmation.
2) System does not track and control the finally confirmed serial numbers during order goods receipt.
3) System does not track and control the last goods receipt qty in Usage Decision.
4) For semi finished product, if we maintain serial number profile in workscheduling view, system is not showing goods issue material list in Co11n transaction for the finished goods.
5) Interfacing the serial number reading scanner with SAP, is not working without entering material number and serial number manually.
6) System does not tracking and controlling the last Usage Decision done serial number during Goods issue to Sale order Delivery.
Regards,
Santha

Hi Santha,
This is a bit vast, but I'll try to address at least some of the issues:
1- serial number in operation confirmation is not possible, for the reason that serailization is part of stock management, and as WIP in an order, this is not stock yet. Actually you cannot confirm the manufactured material either, and those 2 go together.
For tracking specificly WIP, there's something called WIP batches; you may look into it to see if you can use it.
2- during GR system will propose those SNs that you have defined for the order at release or creation.
3- ?
4- GI in CO11N is provided only for BACKFLUSHED material components. Serialized materials CANNOT be backflushed.
5- You can use a barcode reader to read the serial number (instead of keyboard entry) when cursor is on the right field in the respective screen.
6- ?

Change Work Center during production order confirmation

Dear All,
I must to modeling this situation:
I created an production order. In routing I used an work center A.
After I confirmed a half of quantity, the work center A was damaged and I must to change it, with the work center B.
The system allow this change, but when I checked the costing, the situation isn't real. The system counted the costs just for the work center A, and no for work center B.
My question is: it's possible to change the work center, during production order confirmation and the costs updated with new cost?
Thank you for your answer!
Regards,
Marian

once a Order is released, the Process order detaisl for that order is frozen.
however if you want to do it, change the order status to CRTD after reversing the Movements done.
Do READ MAster data , this will copy the new Work center , redo the previously done Moevements.
if the change is long term.
or
Just manually add the new work center and do the processing. if the change is temporary.

Measuring point update by production order confirmation

Hi friends,
I created a prt as equipment and assigned it to the routing. I created a production order and when i confirm the same i am getting following error as:
Document MeasUnit has a different dimension to the characteristic unit
Message no. IR071
Diagnosis
The measurement unit on creation of the measurement document must have the same dimension as the measurement unit of the characteristic of the measuring point.
In this case, the measurement unit % does not suit the character unit EA of the measuring point 103.
System Response
Processing will not be continued.
Procedure
Use the possible entries help.
Please suggest the solution.

Hello Sir(s)
i have gone through entire post for the subject related to measuring point auto update from production order confirmation. I have tried the same but i dont know what i am missing.
if i put some value like 1 or 2 and appropriate UOM then only my measuring document is being updated with the same value not with the actual confirmed quantity.. i have already maintained standard formulla in prt view.
my basic requirement is to get actual value of produced quanity as counter update. means if 20 pieces have been produced and confirmed in co11n, then counter must bhe updated with the value of confirmed quantity.
please advice what value should i put as usage in routing master to get actuall counter update.
Will Highly appreciate your quick reply.
