PM- HR data transfer in CO1P

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

During a business closure of few orders I got the error message No:CO 688.

Unprocessed future change recs for order xxxxxxx prevent del.
flag/completion
Message no. CO 688
Diagnosis
There are still future change records or error records from the
confirmation for confirmation processes for the order 1866824. Future
change records are possible for the following confirmation processes:
automatic goods receipt
backflushing
calculation of actual costs
data transfer to HR.

So now i run CO1P and it returned me a screen with HR data transfer and then I selected the record and saved it.

Though it took long time this was processed and I was able to close the order then.

We have PM HR integration.

Now my doubt is that:

What exactly it means by  HR data transfer??For many other orders why error message CO 688 was not shown.

Apart from CO1P what needs to be done to do "Data Transfer to HR" for a PM order.

Can some body give me some inputs on this?

Regards,

Lekha.

Hi,

The HR Transfer records are generated from time confirmations. This data, once transferrd to HR, can then be used for incentive type payments (piece work, etc). It is not frequently used and there is a good chance your business does not need this 'transfer' data. If you can confirm that the data is not required then just deleted the records with routine Z_AFRP4_DELETE from note 418584. Also change your customizing to set 'No HR Update' flag via transaction OIOR. This will prevent future creation of these AFRP4 transfer records.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your inputs.

I see that in OIOR 'No HR update' flag  is already set for PM order,plant combination.

But still I am getting the error message No CO 688 during business close for few of the orders.

When I searched in SAP forums I understand that we can prevent this error by two methods.

1.) CO1P -If we process the records using this tcode it is taking long time to save.

2.)Schedule the Program 'CORUPROC' in background -Once If we run this in program in background does the records for all the orders will disappear so that I can business close all the orders???

Please give me if you have any inputs on this.

Hi,

Running CORUPROC (with HR flag set) should process all the outstanding HR transfers. But there are other error situations that may be causing the issue and these cannot always be processed without some corrective action.

You may want to look in table AFRP4 to verify if it is HR transfers that is causing this. If there are no records in that table for affected order then the problem lies elsewhere. Another common reason for the error is that AFRC records (Incorrect cost calculations from confirmations) still exist. You can run  transaction COFC to see if any of these exist.
