Setting an job for closing settled process orders

[Former Member]

Hi PP Gurus,

I have a requirement to set a background job to close the process orders that have been settled and have not been modified with a certain time frame.

Are there any standard programs which support this requirement of influencing the selection parameters like settled + eligibility time frame? How to identify the settled process orders in SAP?

Hi,

You can use CO44 transaction and in that select Process orders in "Order Category".

In "action" tab, you can select your activity as complete.

First run the tcode in test mode.It will give errors for orders which are not having zero balance.

Hope this can help you.

Hi,

After the settlement, no particular status is updated in the process order. Hence not possible to select only those orders to close which have been settled.

Workaround I can think of is, in Tcode COHVPI, select those orders which have status TECO and VCAL, my argument would be orders which have status TECO and Variance calculated would be settled most of the time (Say 99%).

Hence set the parameters for background job as status TECO and VCAL. Then go to mass processing tab, select the function COMPLETE, select BACKGROUND in execute function option and create a variant and save.

In SM36 create job, enter the program PPIO_ENTRY, enter the variant created in the earlier step, schedule the date and time.
