Confirmation of Service activity Thru Service Entry sheet.

[Former Member]

Hi!

We are releasing Purchase Requsitions thru service activity in our projects.Subsequently these PRs are converted to POs & finally we are maintaining service entry sheet for acceptance of service in service entry sheet.

Our issue is that we want the service activity to get automatically confirmed once we accept the service in service entry sheet.Presently we are doin it manually.

Please suggest nescessary configuration or process to achieve the above.

Hi,

As per standard SAP automatic confirmation of activity won't possible on accepatnce of service. Network activities will be an account assignment category where further execution can take place.

You need to go for some developments / enhancement for automatic activity confirmation on service acceptance.Please refer transaction CMOD for enhancement of confirmation. Please check with your ABAPer on this.

One more option is there to make time entry in CATS which will confirm the activity automatically.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

In CATS network activity will be confirmed as soon as time is entered.CATS module there is integration between HR & PS module. Time will be entered by employee against network activity / WBSE etc. This time entered can be approved & the same will be transferred to CO / PS for posting actual cost / time etc. Please refer below URL to know more details on CATS.

Hi,

You are using a control key for the sevice activity in the project operations.

Configure the contril key such that

• confirmation is possible but not necessary.

Then the moment you close a service entry sheet for the operation cost will be updated and thus the activity is confirmed.

no need to manually confirm the activity again.

Hi Prashant!

The confirmation setting is already maintained as u suggest.I think there is some issue with approval of service entry after acceptance of the service.Can u suggest how to approve a service entry sheet.

Can you confirm if you have accepted the service entry sheet?

Also are you using Release Procedure for Service Entry Sheet? (Config for this in SPRO is done under Materials Management->External Services Management->Define Release Procedure for Service Entry Sheet). PO if release startegy activated appear with an extra Tab 'Release Strategy'.

If that is case you need to release the accepted service entry sheet. From the menu select Entry Sheet->Set Status->Release or use T Code ML85. Take help of MM guys.
