Restriction of Production order confirmation till external processing completion

[former_member245176]

Hi,

As per requirement, operation has been done by vendor as an external subcontracting through subcontracting PO. I have to do GR against subcontract PO then system will change the operation status as "EODL" External operation delivered. After done with GR for the external operation then have to do proceed our in house operation confirmation. Can you share your suggestion to make restriction?

Ex:

There are 3 operation 10,20 and 30. here, 20 is external processing.

My requirement is, Order confirmation need to be deny for in house operation(30) without Subcontracting PO GR(Means order status EODL).

Best Regards,

Kavi.

Hello,

As per Std. SAP, Will allow you to confirm the sub-contracting operation/ next operation if confirmation as optional, even-though "EODL" not updated.

My suggestion would be, change External control Key confirmation as "Confirmation Required" and also make the confirmation parameter Operation sequence settings as "Error when operation sequence is not adhered to ". So, Whenever Sub-contraction operation completed, you have to make sure that, Specific operation needs to be confirmed before proceeding with next operation confirmation.

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

Operation wise restriction is fine by your ans., But here, I'm looking external process consideration in confirmation transaction from functional end.

Hi

Define operation 20 as milestone (e.g. with control key PP02). Operation 30 can then only be confirmed, if 20 is confirmed.

Hi,

Thanks for reply. Your ans not fulfilling my requirement. My requirement is, system should consider external processing for the further inhouse process. It means, System should be denied for the operation 30 without GR against subcontract PO of the operation 20.

Hi

But this is what milestones are for. If you want to make it dependent on the GR, you could create a workflow which does the confirmation and link it to the business event.
