I have created concensus Time profile (+/- 3 days) and Quantity profile (over - 5%, under 3%). Then created a new consensus finding rule and assigned the two profiles. In the rule I have selected Rule type as "Rule for Deviation Analysis and Consensus Finding). The permissible class is DA_QTY_TIME_02_SUCC
Then I have maintained a condition record at the product and supplier level for ORDR and VGOR and assigned the rule.
I also created an approval profile where I have selected the approval rule for confirmation as "Approve Deviation Manually". I have assigned the rule to the supplier.
Now when I am creating confirmation it is not going for approval even though the delivery date is more than 3 days in the future. It is not checking the quantity profile tolerance as well. The only thing it checks is the over and under delivery tolerance in the PO which is set as 10% over and 5% under.
I see that the "Approval status" changes from New to Accepted even though the delivery date is 2 months out.
Can someone tell me what else I need to do. Also the data type in the Quantity and Time profile is R (Request). I copied from the standard ones and all of them are "R". Shouldn't this be C (Confirmation)?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Vinod
Thanks for your response. I have followed all the steps you mentioned. When I test the confirmation now, it is updated directly in ECC even though the confirmed delivery date is 2 months late. Now that I have removed the approval profile and assignment, the Appr. Status field in PO item line (in SNC) is blank. Earlier the status was changing to "Approved". Are you sure we do not need it?
Do I need to do anything else to enable the tolerance check for quantity and delivery date. Thank you for your help. Please reply.
Thanks

Hi Soumen
In this Customizing activity, you create approval profiles. You must execute this Customizing activity if you want to use the approval process without tolerances in purchase order collaboration in SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC).
So if you want approvall process without tolerance, please customize approval profile
If you want with tolerance, then please remove the assignment
Make sure the validation checks below are available
PO_ACCEPTED_CONF_PUBLISH----
Active
PO_COPY_CONF_TO_REQ----
Inactive
Regarding tolerance please check two things
Are there any tolerance level set @ item level, if yes please remove it, because approval process considers the tolerance first from item level, if they are set or else from your quantity profile
Did you check unlimited delivery option in Purchase info record, if yes please change it (uncheck)
Check whether time profile is setup properly
Now try it should work, if not it could be a bug

Hi Vinod
Thank you for your reply. I changed the following two validations check under "Display Settings for Standard Validation Profiles". I updated validation profile (POC3), validation check and the status field. Should I populated the other fields.
Make sure the validation checks below are available
PO_ACCEPTED_CONF_PUBLISH----
Active
PO_COPY_CONF_TO_REQ----
Inactive
I checked the time profile and price profile again. Did not find anything wrong. I have the following settings now for Consensus Finding.
Time Profile ZDA_TIME_2
Description Dev. Ana.Times 2
Data Type R
Delay Tolerance 3
Delay Time Unit DAY
Delay Calendar US
Price Profile ZDA_PRICE
Description Callaway price profile
Data Type R
Above-Price Tol. (%)
Above-Price Tol. Amt
Above-Price Currency USD
Consensus Rule ZDA_QTY_T_2
Description Dev. Ana. Quantity and Time
Rule Type A (Rule for Deviation Analysis)
Class Name DA_QTY_TIME_02_SUCC
Time Profile ZDA_TIME_2
Quantity Prof. NONE
Price Profile ZDA_PRICE
Cntrl Profile NONE
/SCA/CF_GCM - Maintain Condition Records for Consensus Finding
Condition Type: 1000
OrdDocType: ORDR and VGOR
Concensus Rule: DA_QTY_TIME1
Valid From/To - 03/01/2011-12/31/9999
Issues:
1. PO confirmation is not checking the time tolerance of 3 days. Even if the confirmation date is 2 months apart from the original delivery date, PO confirmation is getting created.
2. PO price is display only during confirmation creation. Can you tell me how to activate the Price confirmation. I need to 0% tolerance for price confirmation. So any change needs to be approved by the buyer.
Thanks

Hi Soumen
In your time profile ZDA_TIME_2, you have assigned planning calendar US (Delay Calendar)
Not sure but i think you also need to enter the time stream id, please create the same under spro-scm basis-master data-
Calendar --Maintain planning calendar
Otherwise, you can try removing the delay calendar.
Regarding Price profile, its set right
There are few more steps you need to check
SPRO-SNC-BASIC SETTINGS-CONSENSUS FINDING-CONDITION TECHNIQUE FOR CONSENSUS FINDING-
ASSIGN DETERMINATION PROCEDURE FOR RULES
ORPR--1000
VGOR---1000
ORDR---1000
ASSIGN DETERMINATION PROCEDURE FOR QUANTITY PROFILE
3000-ORPR,
ASSIGN DETERMINATION PROCEDURE FOR TIME PROFILE
4000-ORPR
ASSIGN DETERMINATION PROCEDURE FOR PRICE PROFILE
6000-ORPR
Now try, it should work
Best Regards
Vinod
Hi Soumen
Everything looks fine, can you please check these rules again
1. Consensus rule condition created for
Condition Type: 1000
Order Document Type: ORDR (purchase order) or VGOR (replenishment order)
2. Please remove the approval profile and assignment you have created
Regarding R or C, it is upto the business you want confirmation to be compared with request data of customer -
R
If you want the compare the Confirmation with the original price then C
Please create fresh data and send again, it should work this time
Best Regards
