Hi Team,
In this blog post, we will explore the distinctions in confirmation processes tailored to specific industries within SAP PP.
Confirmation |
Discrete Industry |
Process Industry |
Repetitive Industry |
Purpose: In discrete manufacturing, confirmations are used to record the actual completion of manufacturing operations for individual products or product variants. |
Purpose: In process industries (e.g., chemicals, pharmaceuticals), confirmations are used to record the completion of batch production following specific recipes or formulas. |
Purpose: In repetitive manufacturing, confirmations are used to record the production of standard products or assemblies on a continuous basis. |
Characteristics:
--> Confirmation typically includes recording the actual quantities produced, labor hours, machine time, and materials consumed for a specific manufacturing order.
--> It is often performed at work centers or production lines.
--> Quality checks and inspections may be part of the confirmation process. |
Characteristics:
--> Confirmation involves recording precise data such as batch quantities, raw material usage, process parameters, and quality measurements.
--> It often includes batch-specific data like pH levels, temperature, and pressure.
--> Compliance with regulatory standards and quality control is critical. |
Characteristics:
--> Confirmation often involves recording output quantities and times for production runs.
--> It may include scrap or rework information.
--> Confirmations are typically recorded in large volumes and are used for production efficiency tracking. |

Discrete confirmations deal with complex or customized products |
Process confirmations involve standard products or batches |
Repetitive confirmations involve standard products or batches |
Discrete confirmations often capture production quantities and resource usage. |
Process confirmations include precise batch-related data and quality parameters. |
Repetitive confirmations focus on production quantities and efficiency. |
Regulatory Compliance: Not Madatory |
Regulatory Compliance: Process industries have strict regulatory requirements, so process confirmations must comply with these standards. |
Regulatory Compliance: Not Madatory |
Conclusion :
Here we get clear idea about difference between Confirmation in Industry Specific.
