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

  • Default values for confirmation control key

    Dear forum
    I am using a confirmation control key 0004 Shipping notification (standard SAP) in the Purchase order line item (created with ME21n).
    When I enter the confirmation data (with transaction ME22n) in the purchase order line item (confirmations tab), I have to type in delivery date, quantity and so on manually, which is standard.
    But, what if I want to copy the original delivery date and quantity from the line item in the order, and use this as default value for the line item confirmation data...is it possible somehow?
    The reason why I want to do this is for the user not having to go in and update this date manually all the time, but only when the confirmed dates/quantities differ from the desired delivery date and quantities in the purchase order line item. We are not on EDI or using Inbound deliverys for Purchase orders.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The Confirmation is nothing but the acknowledgement.So, its usually entered manuallly by the authorised User allowing follow on documents for Purchase Order.
    You can chesk once the customisation of Confiramtion control keys for automatic update indicator.
    Yes, you can use User Exit and develop with the help of ABAPERS.
    Hope it will help you.

  • Suggestion for WoW Control Panel

    Hey all,
    I'd like to make a suggestion to Creative. if the Wow headsets consist of an x-fi processor, then surely it would be possible to give the headphones similar "modes" as what exists for the sound cards: i.e. game mode, entertainment mode, etc. One would provide a better solution for gaming (and i think this is the "mode" these headphones are in), and the other would mean music would actually be undistorted, like it is in entertainment mode with standard x-fi cards.
    It doesn't have to be put into the wow control panel although obviously that would be the most polished option, you could just have the current audio control panel that comes with X-Fi drivers recognise Wow headphones, and we can then tell the headphones what mode we want.
    My music is definitely not as clear as my Xtreme Music card, and if this chip is genuinely similar/identical in nature, then i don't see why this can't be done.

    They should set up a list of "favorites" where you match your voice to the name so it would be more accurate

  • Confirmation control key determination In PO

    Hi Experts ,
    Kindly suggest how confirmation control key is determined in purchase order ?
    My requirement is like ,  if i have  PO  with different document type i need to have different confirmation control keys
    How can i achieve this ?
    Thanks in advance
    Jinoy

    Hi,
    Condition control keys are setup generic to the purchasing documents, viz. PO, Outline Agreements.
    The control key defaults on the purchasing document from the record source assigned for the purchasing line items. Control key defaults from Info. Record or Outline Agreement or from Vendor Master Record, if the control key is specified in these.
    Eg. If There is no info. record or Outline agreement exist as a source for a particular Purchase item, then the control key would default from Vendor Master record of the Purchasing document.

  • Confirmation control in PO

    Hi folks,
    While PO creation, the confirmation control key set up can be controlled by
    a. Vendor (Purchasing view).
    b. Info Record
    c. Scheduling agreement.
    At all the above locations, I havent done any settings for confirmation control i.e the confirmation control key is blank. However I get a confirmation control (Z001) whenever I create a PO.
    Anything else need to be checked?
    Regards

    In the field selction key(define screen layout at docuement level) of docuemnt type, you have to check all the feild selection like
    AKTH , ME31 , MKK (Qty Contract) ,if any of the feild selection if the confirmation control is reqired entry ,then while creatiog contract it will reflect,
    Check these feild selection keys if the confirmation control is active, and also check if you have created any new feild selection keys if the confirmation control is active.

  • Confirmation Control for Scheduling Agreement

    Hello Experts,
    I have got situation for subcontracting scheduling agreement where client doesn't need confirmation control. They want to perform GR against scheduling agreement after creating delivery schedule without extra activity(Confirmation).
    Process flow is:
    1. Create work order(generates purchase requisition for subcontracting activity)(CO01)
    2. Create delivery schedule against purchase requisition for scheduling agreement(ME38)
    3. Create delivery to supplier through ME2O
    4. Confirm Goods receipt(ME38)
    5. Goods receipt(MIGO)
    I am trying to avoid step 4.
    Standard scheduling agreement setup automaticially fetches confirmation control key 0004. If I am disabling it manually, and not performing step 4, system throws message "no GR relevant item in PO"
    Can somebody suggest settings to achieve my scenarion
    Thanks and Regards
    Gyanesh

    Hello PavanKumar,
    The inbound delivery is one type of confirmation you are receiving from the vendor so I dont think you will be able to create the inbound delivery without confirmation control key.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mass change for field Confirmation control Key in PO / SA

    Dear All,
    There is a need to do mass change in value for field Confirmation control Key in PO / SA. Some of them have PO history. If we have PO history system wont allow to change conf. ctrl key. Also since it is a production system we can not cancel previous po histories. This is in SAP 4.7 where we dont have mass change tcode for Scheduling agreements.
    Can we maintain the values thru table entries. like using se16n maintain entries check box. This option is greyed out. can we activate that & do this requirement.
    please suggest.

    hi Greetings!
    The confirmation control key can not be changed in the scheduling agreement if GR for item had already been posted. If the GRs can be canceled , it is possible to change the confirmation control in the SA item.
    Version 4.7 do not support Mass change of scheduling agreements, hence you have to either create a SCAT or BDC to perform the task.

  • Confirmation control key check for inbound delivery creation

    Hi,
    Currently, in the Client's company, the process of receiving goods from purchase orders looks like that (SAP-wise):
    - create a purchase order,
    - receive goods using MIGO and automatically create an inbound delivery,
    - pack the delivery and post goods receipt.
    Recently, some patches have been installed, including one described by note 1602047 (which basically enforces checking confirmation control keys if goods receipt assignment and goods receipt relevance are activated for inbound deliveries). Note says that it only affects two-step stock transfer and creation of automatic inbound deliveries using SPED output but it seems it also affects other basic processes like PO receipt in MIGO.
    Now, when using the old control key (that had MRP-Relevant and GR-Relevant fields checked), the system is unable to automatically create an inbound delivery after the goods receipt is posted with MIGO (with message VL148 - Not possible to create an inbound delivery). I learned that this is because the "GR Assignment" field must be checked in the confirmation control key so it's possible to automatically create aninbound delivery after receiving a purchase order in MIGO.
    After changing the confirmation control key to have the missing field checked it's not possible anymore to receive goods from PO in MIGO as the PO requires shipping notification in order to be processed in MIGO thus requiring of manual creation of an inbound delivery.
    Is there any way to skip this check so the process would remain the same (this model has been working fine for few years in the Client's system) and the inbound delievery would be created automatically after posting the receipt in MIGO?
    Thanks in advance,
    Piotr

    Hi,
    don't know if you found a solution, but we received the following message from SAP:
    The advent of the new version requires some attention to the users. It
    was necessary to avoid inconsistencies which in the past version the
    system was susceptible.
    Main Program SAPMM07M
    Source code of MM07MLVS
    sy-msgid VL sy-msgty E sy-msgno 148
    I have checked the process and through debugged I could confirm the
    following information SAP is providing to all similar incidents reportedfor us:
    Error message VL 148 is issued if in the confirmation control key used
    in the purchase order, the fields for MRP-relevance (T163G-KZDIS),
    GR relevance (T163G-WEREL) and GR assignment indicator (T163G-WEZUO)
    are not set.
    The correction of note 1602047 was necessary to avoid inconsistencies
    (table EKES) in the purchase order. Without having the GR assignment
    (T163G-WEZUO) set, there is no unique reference created between the
    purchase order history (table EKBE) and the inbound delivery
    confirmation (table EKES) at goods receipt which leads to a problem if
    several inbound deliveries exist for the same purchase order.
    If you set T163G-WEZUO to 'X', this assures that, for an inbound
    delivery, the confirmation record (EKES) belonging to this inbound
    delivery (EKES-VBELN) is also accurately updated at goods receipt.
    How to solve the issue?
    Use a confirmation control key with the GR assignment indicator set
    and then create the inbound delivery with VL31N. If you want to be able
    to create the inbound delivery with reference to a certain line item in
    the PO, use transaction VL34.
    If you still want to use transaction MIGO, there is the following
    workaround:
    - Create a purchase order without any confirmation control key
    - Create a goods receipt (GR) in transaction MIGO with reference to this PO and post the GR to a non-HU-managed storage location
    - Create a transfer posting with MIGO using movement type 311 to
    transfer the goods from the non-HU-managed storage location to the
    HU-managed storage location.
    As the transfer posting is an additional step for the user, the whole
    process could be automated using a partner storage location
    (T001l-PARLG) for the GR which then triggers (through a modification)
    the BAPI 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' to create the transfer posting without
    user interaction.
    I hope to have satisfied you on the reason why it is now happening and
    also I believe you can explain to business that it is a new behavior
    necessary done from SAP side to avoid worse situations, we are aware of
    potential dissatisfaction it might cause. SAP Support is always
    available to clarify any issue.
    Sorry for not having a more positive answer.
    I hope it helps!

  • Confirmation Control Key Should be mandatory for PO document type

    Hi All,
    I want to know, is there any configuration settings to make mandatory "confirmation control key" for the Particular Purchasing document type's.
    If it is not there what should be the best to achieve this requirement.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shankar.

    Hi
    I think there is no standard setting to make mandatory document "confirmation control key" for the Particular Purchasing document type's.
    Best way is to maintain in Purchasing view of vendor master record since confirmations rare sent by the vendor.If you want for some perticular materials you can maintain in Purchasing info record.
