Confirmation of production order

[former_member357396]

Hi,

    If the goods issue is not posted system should give a warning message at the time of confirmation of the order as Goods issue not posted. How to bring this configuration setting.

In OPK4,

In Individual entry general tab

tick the Goods movements and termination for incorrect goods movements

This setting won't allow the confirmation if goods movement is not posted in confirmation

I have activated the setting what you have mentioned but for confirming an operation there are serialized and non serialized material also. The non serialized we are doing backflush. The user by mistake he will go and perform co11n for the operation forgetting that there are serialized material that need to be issued manually. This is the problem we are facing.

Remove the backflush tick in Production order for serialized material  and post the confirmation

For serialized material, remove the backflush setting from master data

But how does the user comes to know for this production order i have to issue material manually because some subassembly production orders may contain serial numbers and other subassemblies production orders maynot contain serial numbers.

Hi,

You should also tick backflush for serialized materials if you really want to issue that materials.

In case forgetting you can issue those material with MB1A movement type 261 for that particular production order.

While assembling user definetly Know they are using a material which should be serialized managed ( Serial No is activated because of the production requirement for identification) , train then in that situation do the manual posting for the particular material

Hi,

If i put tickmark as backflush for the serialized material and do the confirmation for nonserialized material available in that operation before issuing the serialized material using mb1a  the particular will be marked as Final issue indicator for all materials including serialized material even though i have not issued the serialized material.

Dear Prasad,

Refer OSS -39230 to understand more about serial no (Automatic goods movement and serial no requirement.)

IF I remember correctly for a serial no managed material you cannot set the backflush indicator in the material master.

If a production order has both serial no and non serial no managed material,then you can carryout the GI  for the serial no managed material using MIGO/MB1A/CO27 for

posting the components which are to be manually issued. Also for a backflushed material the system will not allow to carry the GI using the above mentioned T.Codes.

Check and revert.

Dear Mangalraj,

Component, for which backflushing is set up, can be issued using MIGO/MB1A against production order. This is treated as unplanned consumption.

Dear Badari,

No need to set backflush indicator to the serialized material. CO27 can be used as a worklist to check the open reservations for serialized materials.Someone should monitor it and make sure that postings are done on time. If required, you can create a simple program which will check this and send mail to respective person.

Dear Nitin,

Yes I agree..

Serialized materials cannot be backflushed. Even if they have backflush indicator, system will delete them from goods movement tab in CO11/CO11N when doing confirmation.

Like Sunderasan said, you need to train your user to issue out the serialized components per production order using MIGO or MB1A ( check with CO27 also).

For that matter any component can be issued against production order not just backflush components and system will treat it as unplanned consumption. The very definition of unplanned consumption means that it's not issued against reservation, which mean, order reservation will not get closed (even if you issue backflush components of quantity equal to the quantity in order reservation).

You cannot issue components which have backflush indicator using MB1A/MIGO, you'd have to uncheck the backflush indicator in production order to issue them out using MB1A/MIGO.

Dear Jeevan,

My reply was based on following comment.Probably you missed to read it.

"Also for a backflushed material the system will not allow to carry the GI using the above mentioned T.Codes."

Also, It is very obvious that GI 'should not be' (Not can not be) done when backflushing is setup and there are open reservations. However, in certain situations (when the reservations are cleared) you need to do unplanned goods issue for backflushed materials. And yes system allows it and rightly so. Otherwise SAP would have blocked such a goods movement.

Thanks for your understanding.

Nitin,

I read the entire thread before replying.

Also, It is very obvious that GI 'should not be' (Not can not be) done when backflushing is setup and there are open reservations. 

I suggest you test it by doing goods issue of materials which have backflush indicator (in production order component overview) through tcodes: MB1A/MIGO/MB11 and see if you can issue them (they won't even show up on the list in MB1A).

As per my knowledge the following statement is absolutely true.

If a production order has both serial no and non serial no managed material,then you can carryout the GI  for the serial no managed material using MIGO/MB1A/CO27 for posting the components which are to be manually issued. Also for a backflushed material the system will not allow to carry the GI using the above mentioned T.Codes.

Dear Jeevan,

I have tested it long back. My client is using it. Yes, in MIGO it will not show up. You can insert record and do the unplanned goods issue. Let us not drag it further. It is going in different direction.

Dear Nitin,

It is not going in any direction, I don't want original poster to get confused. You're just implying that if for example a component 10012 qty 1ea is part of a production order with backflush on, and doing an unplanned issue of component 10012 qty 1ea are one and the same. That's not true. Physically on the shop-floor it may be same but SAP doesn't treat it that way.

Hi

If you are not using back flush for components then use the enhancement in co11n while saving production order to check whether all items in the order are issued or not using reference from RESB table. This will help to resolve your issue.
