You agree with your supplier to send you order confirmations or delivery schedules created as part of planning agreements. Supplier confirmations are only maintained manually, so that when confirmations are sent, they are included in the confirmation part of the planning agreement. No need for (yet) planned confirmations from suppliers. Assignment to confirmations previously received at the time of receipt of goods (GR) means that the standard GR quantity is taken from the corresponding confirmation and the RM reduces or cancels exactly the corresponding confirmation in the inventory/requirements list. Working with confirmations has the advantage that MRP does not have to rely solely on delivery dates and quantities specified in purchase orders or planning agreements in planning agreements. In Customizing, you can also set the order in which you expect different confirmations. You enter the confirmation data in the purchase order or in the planning contract. The following process flow gives you a rough overview of the functions that are available to you when working with vendor confirmations. If the provider confirms, how would you update it in the system? Cuz I made a delivery after the SA/DL release and this seems to be reflected in the list of my stock needs as a relevant quantity for mrP. If I do a GR for the same thing, it will be offset by the open engagement elements. Please check the confirmation control key settings in the IMG and make sure it is relevant for scheduling. In an order, I can enter confirmations with the confirmation control key « manually » AB.Is this is not possible in planning agreements? You can define whether each type of confirmation is relevant for material planning in Customizing.
If a confirmation is relevant to MRP, data on quantities and delivery dates appear in the list of current stocks/requirements. One or more categories of confirmation may be relevant to the MRP, but the last expected confirmation must be relevant to the RM. Have the solution. I must keep the confirmations in ME38 and not in ME32L. Thank you for your efforts. For each type of confirmation, you can define in Customizing whether the information should only be made available for purchases or also for material planning and inventory management. Under Confirmation Order, select the relevant MRP and GR indicators for the relevant confirmation categories. When you validate a receipt for goods, the inventory/requirements list is updated. This means that the quantities and delivery dates of the confirmations RELATING to THE DISPOSITION and the RMs are removed from the list for the time being. When the goods are delivered, you can validate the receipt of the goods by reference to the purchase order or the planning agreement of the respective planning agreement. If there is an incoming delivery document for a shipping message received from one of your suppliers, you can also refer to that incoming delivery when you enter receipt of the goods.
In some cases, confirmations may go the other way. . B For example, you can specify that your supplier must receive an acknowledgment of receipt from you with reference to an incoming delivery when entering a receipt of goods from the supplier. For your supplier, this serves as proof of delivery (POD). In this case, you must use a confirmation control key that a) provides for incoming deliveries and b) is relevant to the module in the purchase order or planning agreement. Please note that you can only mail a merchandise receipt if a confirmation (e.B. in the form of a delivery) has been received in advance. Geert, I don`t work with planning agreements, but I managed to work on purchase orders with confirmation control keys. My first question is whether you are able to see a scheduling agreement line on MD04 that does not use a confirmation control key? I ask this question because I did not notice that using the Ctrl key changed the initial display of the MD04. Dennis Phelan Information from incoming confirmations is available for the goods management and goods receipt functions. The old contract referred to an information record that had been set up without a confirmation control key.
So I added the key in the information recorder and via the EKPO table also to the agreement. This applies to all confirmation categories (e.B. order confirmations, deliveries, loading confirmations, etc.). When you receive an ASN from your supplier, you can manually enter the data it contains in the purchase order or scheduling contract, or you can create an incoming delivery with a separate incoming delivery document. Whether a contract is configured with or without a confirmation control key, the result in MD04 is the same: the schedule lines are displayed according to the schedule agreement (based on your results). If you do not assign internal confirmation categories, you cannot receive vendor confirmations via EDI. Hello, We use confirmation control key 0001 for supplier confirmations in delivery schedule agreements/schedules. The confirmation types are assigned to this confirmation control key 2 which are both relevant to mrP: AB (order confirmation) and LA (shipping message). The scheduling agreement is configured with this confirmation control key 001 and the list of sources is relevant to mrP.
When ab or LA is manually entered into the overview of the confirmation of the planning agreement, the relevant indicator for the MRP is automatically actively set on the element. If you enable Item – List – Reduced Quantities or Cumulative Quantits, the confirmations entered are taken into account. However, there is no confirmation from the supplier in the relevant quantity for the MRP. If you now go to MD04, the inventory/material list for the material in question does not display any confirmation. I have checked all the available information about setting up supplier confirmations and I can`t find any errors in our system. I thought the MRP type for the material (P1) could be the cause, but the tests with it gave the same result. MRP P1 parameters (MRP attachment type – 1): MRP, Automatic fixing and scheduling of order proposals, Do not delete fixed scheduled orders), Optional forecast, Unplanned consumption, Unplanned request, Image sequence 001 MRP parameters (DISPOSITION): same parameters as for P1, except that no type of attachment is assigned Could you tell me how I can display supplier confirmations in MD04? Thank you! Geert For each line, you can specify whether order confirmations can be expedited (i.e. whether messages can be sent asking the supplier to send a late confirmation).
This is not possible for other confirmation categories. Attachments: Up to 10 attachments (including images) can be used, each with a maximum of 1.0 MB and a total of 10.5 MB. See: Create an inbound delivery versus a shipping notification. Yes. Select the position in ME31L and click on additional data (objective) and go to otger data here you will find the confirmation control panel and can enter and save. If you set the Confirmation Request flag in the purchase order and your supplier did not send a confirmation, you can speed it up (send a message to the supplier asking them to submit). . Thank you both for your comments! Honestly, Geert Should a Vender confirmation be scheduled? If you have an answer to this question, please use the Your Answer form at the bottom of the page. . Then select the location, click on the item details in the toolbar.
Should there be any other adjustments before it works? If you enter order confirmation numbers only to get a general overview of the vendor confirmations you need to track, you don`t need to make any settings in Customizing. . Confirmations allow them to plan more accurately as you receive more and more reliable information about the expected delivery from the supplier within the time between the order date and the desired delivery date. If the goods are received before delivery, you cannot send the GR. . .
