SRM: many confirmation for PO

In SRM, I'd like to insert a confirmation for a "una tantum services" purchase order.
Unluckly, SRM allows me to insert many confirmations, exceeding total quantity, even if all PO's quantities are approved.
For example:
Purch.order quantity : 3 pieces
First confirmation:3 pieces (confirmation not approved)
Second confirmation: 2 pieces (inserted later and in not approved)
The second one is saved on system, but if the first is approved before, when the approver gives the ok the second, the confirmation goes in transfer error (quantity too high - tolerance limit ).
I know this is a process error. Also, we know there's a flag on PO's position that finalizes confirmation (last confirmation check box)
But, does anyone know how prevent situation without activation of check-box flag? Are there any OSS note solving the problem?

Jagdish,thank you for your help.
I know SRM doesn't allow you to confirm more qty than the ordered qty.
My problem is that if i confirm a parzial quantity and the GR goes in approval status, i can insert GR for quantity exceeding the total quantity of order.
the second GR goes in transmission error after its approvation.
ex. PO quantity 5
first GR quantity 4
second GR quantity 3 (4+3 > 5!!!!)
After first approvation, nothing happens until the second GR will be approved. The GR goes in trasmission error for quantity exceeded.

Christian

  • Confirmation for Service PO from SRM to R/3

    Hi All,
    We are using SRM 3.0, EBP 4.0 ECS and R/3 4.6C.
    I have posted confirmations for a Service PO successfully in SRM and a GR and Service Entry Sheet has been posted in R/3 correspondingly. However some of the confirmation results in the status "Currently being transferred" and R/3 does not get updated with GR and Service Entry Sheet.
    I have checked that the workflow has processed succesfully and it is in 'Completed" status.
    Our observation -  While posting cofirmation for a Goods PO, the GR is posted in R/3 using IDOC. We can trace the same in transaction WE02. While posting confirmation for a Service PO, GR and Service Entry Sheet is posted in R/3, however not sure how this is posted as we are not able to trace any IDOC for a Service PO confirmation.
    I need to know how confirmation is posted for a Service PO.
    Any pointers to resolve the above issue would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Francis

  • Error while reading PO  message when creating confirmation for PO

    Hi all,
    We are on SRM 5.0 SP 13. Extended Classic.
    While creating confirmation for PO in the system,whenI click on the CREATE CONFIRMATION icon,I get the following error:
    Error while reading PO in backend system.Inform System admin.
    when I goto change the PO,I get the foll errors:
    System of purchasing organization O 00000152 and purchasing group O 00000126 differ
    Organization O 00000126 is not a purchasing group; Inform system administration
    Organizational unit O 00000181 is not permitted as purchasing organization
    Purchasing group O 00000126 is not assigned to purchasing organization O 00000152
    On further analysis,I found that the issue is mainly because f the Porg /Grp assigned in the PO doesnt exist now in the org structure in PPOMA_BBP.
    Can I change the Porg/grp now in the PO ?If so,how do i do that ?when i go to the dropdown for the Porg/grp it doesnt show me all of the current Porg/Grps maintained in the Org structure?How does the system determine which P org /grp to show in the value help for these fields under BASIC DATA tab in POu?
    Please advise how I can get rid of this error.
    Thanks!

    Hi Gurus,
    We are on SRM 7 and we are currently facing the same issue.
    In our case, when a PGroups is deleted and unassigned, an interfase from HR is raised and i the SRM PPOMA the Pgroup is not valid anymore and unassigned from the Purchasing Organization.
    Once this happens, we face a blocking issue for all the documents created with Purchasing Groups that has been deleted.
    These documents cannot be processed anymore and and error saying that Purchasing group is not assigned to purchasing organization... is raised.
    Currently we are manually mantaining the validity of the Purchasing Group via PPOMA and transaction PP01. We put the validity to unlimited and the documents can be processed again.
    Anyway we would like to avoid this manual update and to have a false information in te system where the PGroup will be shown as valid while it has been deleted in the past.
    Could you please advise on the best solution on it?
    Many Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Valentino

  • SRM - Delete confirmation (service entry sheet)

    Hi,
    we have the 5.00SRM.
    The user tried to post twice the same confirmation (service entry sheet) so the system replicated the first one in R3 and the second is in error for the Purchase order lock (message class SAP-T100 message-id BBP_ADMIN 010).
    It's right that the second is in error (Luckly!!!), but now we don't know how delete it (the second wrong confirmation), because in the confirmation transaction the delete button is inactive. Now the user need to create a new confirmation for the same purchase order, but since now all the confirmations for that purchase order go in error.
    Please, help me ... I looked all SAP notes and forum messages but I didn't find the solution.
    Thanks

  • Unable to edit Confirmation for a limit PO.

    Hi,
    This is related to Confirmation in SRM 5.00 for a limit PO.
    The status of this confirmation is "ERROR IN PROCESS". I've seen that there is error while posting the SES to backend.
    This is because of missing some field entries while posting confirmation, Now I want to change the confirmation and make corrections, but i find that all the buttons ( change, delete......) are inactive/greyed out.
    Is it not possible to change a limit confirmation once saved and approved. Then how do i delete it, if all the options are greyed out.
    Please help me

    Hi Muthu,
    Thank-you for the response.
    Yes we have posted a confirmation again to get the process moving, as i knew that missing entries in the field caused the error.
    But what I would like to know is why isn't it possible to delete or change this confirmation to correct the wrong entries responsible fo the error.
    Why all the buttons are greyed out, though nothing is posted at backend

  • Report confirming for Spain

    Hi gurus.
    I have to costumize my system to can pay throw a bank with the confirmnig way of payment.
    I need to do it for the spanish bank La Caixa.
    The problem is that i dont know what is the customizing for that and i dont know how to do the special report for that?
    has anyone do it?
    thanks in advanced

    Hi Nerea,
    First of all, many thanks for your reply.
    I solved the question, the problems was in FBZP customing, but now I have another issue related with EAPS integration.
    If I run the payment proposal in order to generate DME file for confirming, the document posted is updated in FMIFIIT as a payment document, but it's not correct because the invoices are not due. The payment run in this case, it's only a reclassification to another G/L account through CME indicator.

  • Two step confirmation for warehouse tasks in EWM

    Hello everybody,
    I am working on an internal prototyp to evaluate SAP EWM. Therefore it is essential that we use "two step confirmation" for warehouse tasks. Step one: confirm pick up of a pallet; Step two: confirm transportation of a pallet. Like it is used in SAP WM (Parameter I_QUKNZ in function module L_TO_CONFIRM and in standard SAP).
    I haven't found anything similar to that in EWM so far. I searched in the official EWM SAP Press book and also in google. But right no I don't have any idea.
    Do you guys have any hints on how to achieve two step confirmation somehow?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Stef

    Hi Jürgen.
    Thanks for your input! You are right, it works with RF!
    But it works kind of strange. Deleting source storage bin, creating another position etc.
    I will have a look how to adapt this.
    Thanks!

  • SRM PO confirmation

    Dear expert,
    I'm facing a problem that when SRM PO is fully approved and replicated to R/3, field confirmation control key is defaulted to inbound delivery in PO R/3. I have check vendor master data and info record that this field is blank so it should not get defaulted. From where does this default come? Is it from SRM master data?

    Hello,
    Check in R/3 backend customizing for inbound delivery confirmation control key:
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Logistics Execution > Shipping > Deliveries > Define Order Confirmations for Inbound Deliveries
    I guess your SC was created using a storage location: this could explain your confirmation control key for your PO.
    Regards.

  • "Bad Data, too many results for shortname"

    Every 10 minutes since October 13 the wikid error log has recorded the following error message:
    *"Bad Data, too many results for shortname: username"*, always naming the same user, who is not actually doing anything.
    Coinciding with that message at the same time every 10 minutes, the system log records 13 or 14 of the following:
    *"Python\[15645\]: ••• -\[NSAutoreleasePool release]: This pool has already been released, do not drain it (double release)."*
    15645 is a process owned by _teamserver, which would appear to confirm the connection between the python and wikid error messages.
    Last clue: The messages (I have determined in hindsight) started while I was setting up the server to do vacation messages. The user named in the "Bad data" messages was the user who wanted to (and did) set up a vacation message at that time. They worked, too.
    Anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how to fix it? BTW, google does not find even one page where this "Bad data" error message is mentioned.

    Thanks for your response. To answer your questions:
    +Are you using AD for your directory?+ No. OD master only.
    +Are there users with duplicate shortnames in your directory system?+ No, and to double check, I searched with WGM and only the one came up.
    +As a bit of background, the wiki server keeps an private index of user and group information so we can track user preferences, and the "Bad Data, too many results for shortname: username" error is triggered when we do a lookup in that index for a particular user and we (unexpectedly) hit duplicate entries. Are you seeing an issue with using the software, or just an annoying log message?+ It's hard to say (for me) what might be related. The directory or wiki related issues with the server include:
    • A memory issue with slapd that eventually causes it to crash. (preceded by lots of "bdbdbcache: db_open(+various: sn, displayname, givenname, mail, maybe others+) failed: Cannot allocate memory (12)" and "logging region out of memory" and "index_param failed" errors.
    • The wiki is slow, despite very light use.
    • Wake from sleep (network clients with authentication required) can be very slow. Several minutes even.
    Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated.

  • SRM SUS - confirmations process

    Hello,
    I have 2 questions, hoping you can provide help:
    Question 1 - when supplier confirms the purchase order in SUS, is it possible for the supplier to go back into the purchase order and re-confirm order for different delivery dates or quantities (e.g. put back into "in process").  Currently the supplier is only able to do the ASN as the next step
    Question 2 - is it possible for the supplier todo confirmations for schedule agreement releases, e.g. like we do for purchase orders?  Currently supplier has "new" and "in process" status, and there is no collaboration on delivery dates and quantities back to the SAP R/3 system
    We are using SRM v7 and SAP R/3 4.6c (and SAP PI)
    Thanks

    Hi Azam
    It won't be possible for suppliers to change the PO response that they have entered initially.
    Normally the PO response would go to SRM for approval by the buyer. If the buyer doesn't accept the POR they may send back and then the suppliers can enter a new one.
    However if it is approved by buyer or Auto-approved( as in our case), suppliers won't be able to change that.
    I imagine that it would be a complex development to change this behavior

  • Create confirmation for multiple cost objects PO in SUS

    Hi,
    Is it possible to create confirmation for multiple cost objects PO ( order type 'MA') in SUS ?
    We are going to implement SRM 7.
    Thanks & regards,
    Afandi-

    Hi All,
    First of all, thanks for your responses..
    Right, about the issue, what I explained here was that I am indeed assigning only one cost object: the WBS element. The issue was that even though I am assigning only the WBS element, it was also assigning the cost to the cost center by default. I did some R&D and found the solution to the issue (I was also asked to look for OSS notes but was not satisfied that this issue needs an OSS note to be applied so tried my solution). The issue was in table: T788M (allocate costs to variable account assignment). Here, I created an entry and called it USERGROUP_2 (just a random name) and assigned the variable cost objects (only the WBS and the Cost center) to be displayed. In the next step, I assigned this usergroup to the country in quesion feature (TRVCO). By doing this, I tell the system that only these cost objects are to be considered when an employee wants to assign the cost object. If the system sees that there is no value from the drop down to choose from, it picks up the default cost object (cost center). This was a simple issue that I had to rattle my brains on... but the solution I mention above worked like a hot knife going through butter...
    If you guys face this issue, please try this else feel free to get in touch with me on my number below.
    Once again, thanks for your responses.

  • Confirmation for ECC Return PO

    Hi All,
    I am looking for some clarifications. I can able to process confirmation in SRM (through Central goods/services transaction) for a PO created only in ECC. If I do any partial confirmaiton, then the remaining quantity will be available for further confirmation.
    But this is not happening for ECC Return PO (PO where Return box is checked). I could able to process only one confirmation for that return item in SRM and it posts a goods movement with 161 mvt type in ECC. But after that, this return item is not available for further confiramation in SRM. That line itself is not there in the item overview screen of confirmation.
    Has anyone come across this poblem? Can you please help me to undertsand the issue here?
    Thanks,
    Arun

    Hi
    You can use any of your existing purchasing group to create a return PO.

    Hi Nikhil,
    thanks for your Feedback.
    we are not using EHP4. our ERP system is ECC6.0 only. I know EHP4 is required at ECC side. But  in this stage
    we are going with ECC6.0.with Custom developments. I think modifications are required in the Interfaces and at ECC side.
    as SRM is already upgraded to  SRM7.0.I think no custom developments needed at SRM side.only the service orders requests
    from ECC to PI and PI to SRM needs to be modified?
    scenario name  : ECC triggers Idoc to PI and PI generarate XML to SUS (Orders02 to Purchase order request).
    i have checked the Idoc and all  fields required for creating service order in SUS is available.is any other fields/check box required in Purchase order Idoc. so that we can map.
    in service purchase order Item detail screen(service lines) is not displaying in SUS side and also confirmation(SES creation).
