Set Up Confirmation Control on PO's.

[Former Member]

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking into setting up confirmation control for PO's.(MM>Purchasing>Confirmations>Set Up Confirmation Control)

I've been reading in the IMG notes that "Once you have set up the confirmation control facility in a production system, you should not make any changes to the relevant settings. Changes to the Customising settings can lead to data inconsistencies in your system (e.g. incorrect MRP-relevant quantities)"

For those of you who have configured this,can you share some experiences?

There is no flag set for checking the comfirmed date for ME91F, in our Plant,so I need to be setting the flag...what are my options,as well please?

All help is appreciated,

Hello,

What SAP is trying to tell is that any changes that needs to be done to the Confirmation COntrol key should be done in a proper manner, taking into consideration the data that will impact. So if u are using a confirmation control key which doesnt requires a ASN (Advanced shipment notification) and then when u are switching to confirmation control key which needs ASN, then u need to change the master data involved with this, and other paramters involved.

We have been using confirmation control key for ages and we havent got any problem.

Hi,

In the config documentation for the Purchase Confirmation Keys it is

recommended by SAP not to change any setting in the Confirmation

Control Keys .

For example after a good receipt the field confirmation key

is greyed, and the reason is that there is a link between the

confirmations and the GRs. If you change the confirmation control key

this link can get lost (the link is the field ETENS in tables EKES and

EKBE). If this would be possible you would get a lot of inconsistencies

in the system.

See also note 451060 which contains the changing of the customizing

of the confirmation control key, which is nearly the same as if you

would be able to change the control key in the purchase order after

a goods receipt.

I hope this answers

Best Regards
