Predefined Confirmation CO1P

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a situation where a confirmation took place via CO19 for an PP order.

Now when trying to cancel confirmation using CO13 it was not possible but by using CO1P it was possible after clearing the COGI.

In CO13 when the order no. was given it said nothing to confirm.

Its very strange and its not repeating regularly.

Can anyone suggest why this is so? Whats going wrong in the process and do we also use CO1P for cancellation of PP order.

This doc will give you necessary inputs. It basically happens when the system loads are high. Cancellation of confirmations directs the reversal goods movements to CO1p.

Hi,

I didnt understand the point when system loads are high.

The link also explain some background activities (which we are not incorporating) and future change record.

Can you be more precise with the explanation and the reason?

What are the entries maintained in OPKC and if this process key is assigned in the confirmation parameter in control data. But even I have noticed that even though it is maintained as online sometimes during confirmation cancellation the system directs for reprocessing in CO1P.

Hi Ram,

In OPKC process contorl is maintained for CAT 30 (maintenace order) and not for PP production order. ALso in confirmation parameters there is nothing in process control.

But still if you say that the system proposes the canclellation to be triggered by CO1P..What is the concrete reason for that and that too sometimes only?

Hi,

If this is the reason then why the system picks up CO1P for cancelling the confirmation.

How can a user know if he has never used CO1P?

Hi,

goods movements of cancellations (CO13) are performed in update task. Technically, this is done via AFFW records. Now if an error occurs (like missing storage location or insufficient stock) this erro is written into AFFW and the failed GM becomes visible in tr. COGI. In case of locks, no error info is written into AFFW, because a lock is not really an error to be solved later. So the AFFW record remains without error info. Those records are not visible in COGI but in tr. CO1P. SAP notes recommend to schedule a report regularly to pick up those records (CORUAFWP, CORUPROC) which makes it not necessary to use CO1P manually any longer.
