PurOrd & ShipNt in MD04 duplicated (SNC confirmation)

Dear experts,
When a purchase order released to vendor, initial order acknowledgment is received through EDI, from SNC (ECC integrated with SNC). This order acknowledgement creates confirmation category "AB" in purchase order under 'Confirmation' tab in ECC. Resultant is the 'Shipping Notification' in ECC system which is suppose to replace the existing Purchase order in MD04 but instead the system is creating additional line item along with purchase order as 'Shipping Notification' and is a duplication of the receipt element in MD04.
this is leading to a wrong planning in MD04. can any one suggest to resolve this issue?
thanks
Shreenidhi

Hi Shreenidhi
Generally, this is an inconsistency on the field DABMG
Note 202875 provides a correction report to fix this issue.
Notes below are corrections to be implemented to avoid this issue in the future:
1979068
MRP reduced quantity not updated for schedule lines
1827920
Inbound delivery creation failed to update MRP reduced qty
1725906
Inbound Delivery missing in PO confirmation (EKES)
If the issue persists even after the implementation of these notes, you should open an OSS incident to the component MM-PUR-GF-CON.

Duplicating de confirmation for Clients with credit problems

Hi,
We are using GATP to confirmed the sales orders quantities. In the check instructions,
we are using check availability and then RBA (product substitution)
When I create a sales order for a client with credit problems the confirmed quantity
is being duplicated after releasing the order.
The steps I am following are next:
1.        VA01: create sales order (i.e: order product D 10 PC, I got 10 PC of product E confirmed because of the RBA)
2.        VKM3: Release the order
3.        VA03: display the sales order
(it duplicates the lines with confirmed quantity - i.e: I got line 10: product D 0 PC confirmed; line 11: product E 10 PC confirmed; line 12: product E 10 PC confirmed, so line 12 is repeating line 11)
We have explore any issues related to the availability check, but it seems to be a problem with the configuration of the credit processing.
Have you ever had this issue? Any recommendation to solve it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

777,
Are you using product allocation?
In what case you see duplicate confirmation? in case of partial delivered order? if so check OSS note 1442425.

Handling vendor confirmation differences

hi,
We use vendor confirmation and wants system to automatically adjust the PO qty to the confirmed qty in vendor confirmation (AB). Right now system is creating two entries in MD04 one for confirmed qty and other for unconfirmed qty. We want the second entry to disappear so that MRP creates new procurement proposal when there is a difference on vendor confirmation. Is it possible through standard functionality or should we have make it as manual process on validating confirmations from vendors.
Even if we make it as a manual process, we want a report to show original ordered qty and adjusted qty ( based on confirmation) . Right now that seems to be not possible.
Similar requirements are there for ASN too and we want system ( MD04) to reflect always the actual status ( Confirmed qty from vendor ) and rest as new PRs ( so that buyers can find new vendors to fill these mismatches).

Rav

hi,
when the goods shipped from the vendor port , the shipping documents ( invoices , packing list , bill of ladding ,certificate of origin, quality certificate etc ) will be sent to the customer .
with reference to the documents we create inbound delivery.( confirmed quantity of material )
follow like this .
1. create po with confirmation as inbound delivry ( ie 0003 )
2. create inbound delivery in VL31N ( enter quantity , no of packs ,total weight , bill of ladding etc .
3. do MIGO with ref to the inbound delivry , excise no ,excise date will be displayed , enter BOE NO and BOE date in therespective fields

What is the significance of Quantity reduced in confirmation tab of a PO

I have a PO created for a foreign vendor.
after creating a PO ibd is done and then GRN.
after GRN user found that he prepared grn against wrong IBD so he cancelled all the GRN he preapred and creates new grn.
Now in po The open quantity showing as 85 Tons but while creating GRN it is taking only 20 tons.
After putting all my efforts i found that the difference in the quantity reduced column in Confirmation tab of a PO.
so Plz let me know how the quantity in this (quantity reduced column in Confirmation tab of a PO.) is updated?????????/
Or suggest me the solution for preparing the GRN of Open quantity of PO (85 Tons)

Basically both total GRN and confirmation qty need to be the same, if one of the value is different, than the system will take the highest value and reduce the open PO qty as you can see in MD04.
if the confirmation qty is to big, then you need to change the confirmation qty, it will then update the open PO qty.
You may also check to below link ,there's some explanation and example

Returns issue confirmations

Hi,
I am making the availability check in APO for the sales orders confirmation.
When an order has credit issues, then it should be approve manually, but the system is duplicating the confirmations after this approval.
What can it be?
Thank in advance

hi
The steps are as follows :
1. Create a return request. (Using Sales Order in SD)
do modification in the MV45AFZZ , mentioning the return document type also the condition type with the percentage and set the error message and delivery block. using parameter id , set the authorization to approve the delivery by lifting the delivery block and proceed as
2. Create outbound delivery according to return request.
3. If the setting is correct in the outbound delivery screen SAP will automatically switch post goods issue button into post goods receipt. The setting is in sales order item category and delivery type.
4. In the standard system the movement type used is 651.
5. After post goods issues receipt is done using outbound delivery, the quantity is placed in blocked stock without value updating.
6. You will then decide if the return quantity are indeed bad stock or not.
7. Transfer Posting from block stock to unrestricted stock (mvt type 453), this will have accounting effect (Debit Inventory, Credit COGS)
8. Goods Issue to scrap account how to create new titles which can be used in creating the "address" view on the Vendor master.{T-Code: XK01}
In config go to Basis Components --> basis services --> Address Management --> Maintain title texts
hope you find useful

Suggestions for Confirmation Control in POs

Dear All,
We are a manufacturing unit, importing most of the components with huge transit times. My requirement is as follows:
After the PO is sent out, we receive the order confirmations (OCs) from the vendors by E-mails. The dates mentioned in the OCs are the one on which the material will be ready at their end. Then we need to arrange for the transport. The total time from arranging the forwarder to receiving the material varies from 4-7 weeks.
Now, we want to see in MD04 that a confirmation AB has been entered in the system for the PO w/o any change in date, as the OC date is not actual.
With this we can follow up with the supplier about the readiness of the material and make transport arrangements.
Later, when we get the information about shipping, we can enter LA and the ETA.
Please let me know how to accomplish this.

Hi,
to set automatic confirmation control key ,while creating the PO-> then we need to create an info record for the vendor ,material ,purchase org conbination and in the same we can give the confirmation control key.
so it would be defaulted automatically.
hope so it helps

Anjanna.

Using a subcontract routing

We would like to start using the subcontract functionality to send material out to sterilization. From what I understand we would use the routing for this purpose by selecting external processing in the routing and selecting the subcontract button. Doing this however, does not allow the creation of purchase Req. in the production order. It automatically sets the field "res/Purchase Reqs" in the external processing tab to "1" which is never create Purchase req. If the subcontract field is not selected it allows purchase reqs. Am I missing some other setting that is required to make this work?

I checked OPL8 and found that it is set up to create purchase reqs immediately. I did the steps recommended below. My Production order still does not suggest purchase reqs. I think it has something to do with the subcontract indicator being turned on in the routing, which is pulling in a "1" (no purchase reqs) in the "res/Purchase Reqs" in the external processing tab on the production order.
This is a material that is internally manufactured, but is going to to a vendor for sterilization and coming back as a sterlized part.
1. create pur info rec (Me11)
2. In routing set op control key PP02.Header enter sub contractor info rec no
save.
3.MD61/MD02/MD04
4.Op confirm CO11N
5. note the PR number from co02 from op overview.
6. convert PR To PO ( ME58)
7. ME2O Send the material to subcontractor.
8. Thru MIGO receive the material
9. confirm the external processing op.
10. Mb31 GR Posting.

VL 150 Message - only 0 qty available of material XYZ

While creating a replenishment delivery from a STO I am getting this message saying only 0 qty available of material XYZ. Although there is enough stock both in MMBE and MD04. This delivery should be immediately confirmed but not sure whats the issue. Has this anything to do with ATP settings. This delivery number does show up in MD04 and is confirmed.
Any help is appreciated

Hi,
This is definitely related to ATP check. Please run T Code CO06 for the back order processing and check for the Cumulative ATP quantity column as on date. If the stock in that column is '0' then the mentioned error message will be displayed.
If there are any soft allocations done for the stock then those stock won't be considered for your Deliveries based on the settings made in OVZ9 (Scope for Availability Check Control).
You can then reallocate the stock for which the confirmation is done but is not scheduled for delivery so that the current outbound will get the necessary stock.
The MMBE screen does not reflect the stock which can be allocated but only the stock which is present in the Storage location. Always check for the column Scheduled for Delivery while checking for the available stock.
Hope this would help.

Karthik.

Purchase Order Confirmation in MD04

Hello Everyone,
Our system is set to receive EDI PO Confirmations - Conf Control key 0001, with Confirmation Categories AB and LA.
When PO Acknowledgement is posted it shows the correct Conf. Cat. , "AB" on the PO Lines , but in MD04 the MRP field for that Order displays "ShipNt" - exactly the same as it would be for the ASN.
How to assign different MRP element text to indicate Confirmation Category AB/Order Confirmation?
I tried the "Check Texts for the MRP element", but it allows making changes just for the existing MRP elements.
Is there any way to add a new MRP element for PO Confirmation, or maybe link one of the existing elements to Conf Cat. u201CABu201D?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Regards,
Aneta

Hi Aneta,
I have exactly the same problem as you.
I do not understand how MRP is considering the AB type Confirmation Category as the same MRP Element as the LA type Confirmation Category.
In addition, the actual MRP element shown in MRP Tables MDTB is LA (even though the confirmation Category is AB)
Have you had any other feedback on this problem ?
Many of our reports are reading this as an ASN when in fact it is only an Order Acknowledgement.
Thanks,
Johanne

Schedule line appears twice for PO confirmation category in MD04

Dear All,
In PO we have two confirmation category AB and LA. When I see in MD04 there are two schedule line as shipping notification of LA as well as for AB. From my analysis I found that it is appearing if the AB sequence is higher then the LA sequence. The sequence is the field which is visible in MD04 details of this shipping notification and also last column in Confirmation control Tab in PO.
But if AB sequence is less then the LA it only shown LA as schedule line. Can you please let me know is this a standard proces or bug in SAP. Do we have any SAP notes to fix this. And whats the logic behind showing both PO confirmation as schdule line although as per process it should show the shipping notification which is corresponding to LA and ignore the AB confirmation key.
Please let me know as earliest as possible
Thanks
Shashi

HI Ragahvendra,
Yes,You need to activate the validation check PO_ACCEPTED_CONF_PUBLISH for validation profile POC3 with following steps:
SPRO>Supply Network Collaboration>Basic Settings>Validation>Own Settings-->Maintain Settings in Validation Profiles
Validation Profile=POC3,
Validation check=PO_ACCEPTED_CONF_PUBLISH
status =active
As you mention PO_ACCEPTED_CONF_PUBLISH is not there in standard validation then you need go for latest SP level.
I am not sure about what is latest SP level for SNC 5.1 but i know latest SP level for SNC 7.0 is 6.
That's why still PO confirmation line updates in ECC immediately eventhough Confirmation Delivery schedule went for approval.
In SPRO>Supply Network Collaboration>Basic Settings>Validation>Own Settings-->Maintain Settings in Validation Profiles it does not check whether validation check exists in standard or not that's why when you add manually it accepts.

Nikhil

Confirmation PO with FM caused data dupicate in MD04

Dear Experts,
Here's our problem:
1. We have a PO with quantity 1000 . And in MD04 - MRP Element data we can see this data.
2. Then we use FM : "ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE" to insert confirmation data directly to table "EKES", set comfirmed quantity 1000 for this PO.
3. Now there're two items appeared in MD04 for this PO, the original one and the comfirmed one.
4. Then we open this PO, click "Edit" icon, and save this PO without updating anything, and then goto MD04 again, there is only one item for this PO with 1000 comfirmed quantity.
It's really strange. Please help give some idea about how to fix this problem!
Thank you!
Andy

Hi all,
When you run the function ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE
pass in XEKES-KZDIS = 'X' as one of the function parameters in tables section.
In more detail:
CALL FUNCTION 'ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE' "Post order acceptance/fulfillment confirmations
EXPORTING
    i_ebeln =                   " ekko-ebeln
TABLES
    xekes =                     " uekes    "<---------------------------------------- Here put KZDIS = 'X' in the lines you are updating
*   yekes =                     " uekes

Confirmed quantity of STO not properly reflected in MD04

I am facing following problem:
I Have created one STO for 20 pieces. In supplying plant only 10 pieces are available and rest 10 pieces will be available later. So, 10 pieces are confirmed for today (14.09.07) and rest 10 pieces are confirmed for 20.09.07 in STO.
Now when I look at transaction MD04 for receiving plant, all 20 pieces are shown against 14.09.07. This is the problem.
Can anyone please clarify above.
Thanks & regards,
Nilesh kumar

Thanks for the reply.
Indeed it will appear in MD04 if you change in SA. However I don`t want do that , in certain cases only I want change at IBD level which should reflect in MD04. Is there a way to achieve this ?
Thanks in advance
