Progress Confirmations and Operations with Final Confirmations

Under certain circumstances, the system does not allow you to enter a confirmation for an operation with final confirmations. This is the case in the following situations:

An operation was finally confirmed using a progress confirmation. You now want to make a progress confirmation for a subsequent operation with a larger quantity as in the previous confirmation. The system would then have to increase the quantity of the finally confirmed operation. This is not supported.
You want to enter a confirmation that has been confirmed automatically using a progress confirmation.

Note

First, correct the operations that you confirmed manually using a progress confirmation.

Example

You have entered a progress confirmation for operation 30 for a quantity of 8 pieces (final confirmation). Further confirmations are dealt with as follows:

· You enter a progress confirmation for operation 30 for 9 pieces (that is, one piece more than before). The system displays a warning, but allows the confirmation to take place.

· You enter a progress confirmation for operation 20 for 9 pieces (that is, one piece more than before). The system does not allow confirmation because operation 20 has already been finally confirmed via operation 30. To enter this confirmation, the confirmation of operation 30 must first be corrected (that is, canceled and reentered).

· You enter a progress confirmation for operation 40 for 9 pieces (that is, one piece more than before). Again, the system does not allow confirmation. Operations 10 to 30 have already been finally confirmed via the progress confirmation of operation 30. To enter this confirmation, the confirmation of operation 30 must first be corrected.
