external opn

[Former Member]

HI,

We have external opns assgned to the routing. I see that the opn can be confirmed even if the opn has not been recieved in via the purchase order which is created for the production order. Is this std SAP design ? If it is then it seems to be a gap as one should not be able to confirm the opn via CO11N if the purchase order has not been received in. Please confirm.

Thanks

You may try this ,

Say you have 3 op . 10,20,30 . 20th op is sub cont . Define Two mat codes e.g A which is output of op 10 which will go for sub cont . ( PO BOM will have A and Gr will be done for B ) . Define code B which will indicate PO GR which will get consumed in op 20 . Now assign Mat B in comp assignment for op 20 . Also activate backflush for op 20 .

Now if you dont have stock of B then it will give of mat deficit error on CO11n which will solve your prob .

Hi!,

You are thinking quite logically but perhaps SAP is not designed like that. Because if that is the argument then ideally system should allow to post GR or operation confirmation before Goods issue is done. As rightly said by other expert, confirmation is a manual activity wherein you not only confirm the yield but so many other things also and that is why it is made with so much flexibility.

Hi

the confirmation in sap is nothing but you confirm some production activity / quantity that the activity /quantity happened / produced for the sap system

then only system come to know the status of the particular production order.because the production activities are mannual process.

confimation is nothing but the information for the sap system
