Background documentationTransfer of Correlated Production Yield Confirmation

 

You can configure SAPMEINT to correlate a number of production yield confirmation messages on SAPMEINT side and send one aggregated production yield confirmation to SAP ERP.

In SAPMEINT Workflow Configuration, you can modify Merge Validation Transaction Parameters of the yieldConfirmationCorrelationRequest workflow to specify how many yield confirmation messages (numberOfDocuments) must be correlated in SAPMEINT before a correlated yield confirmation is sent to SAP ERP. You can also specify how long a yieldConfirmationCorrelationRequest message must stay in SAPMEINT waiting for yieldConfirmationCorrelationRequest messages with the same correlation key (waitTimeInSec) before a correlated production yield confirmation is sent to SAP ERP. SAPMEINT sends a correlated production yield confirmation to SAP ERP when one of these conditions is met.

Correlation Key

A correlation key for yield confirmation is a combination of the following parameters delimited by a colon:

  • Site

  • Shop order

  • Reporting step

  • Batch number

  • Capacity category

  • Split ID

  • Rework (true or false)

Example Example

ConfirmationYield:ABC1:1001486:10::001:1:false

End of the example.

You can view correlation keys in Queue Monitor (see Queue Monitor).

Prerequisites

SAPMEINT on SAP MII

In SAPMEINT Workflow Configuration, you have verified parameters of the YieldConfirmationCorrelationRequest workflow.

In Global Configuration, you have verified the setting of SAPMEINT_CORRELATION_RETENTION_PERIOD. For more information, see SAPMEINT Global Configuration in Configuration of SAPMEINT Standard Interfaces.

Recommendation Recommendation

Align yieldConfirmationCorrelation, productionOderCompleteCorrelation, and the SAPMEINT_CORRELATION_RETENTION_PERIOD global parameter.

Use the following dependency: SAPMEINT_CORRELATION_RETENTION_PERIOD < the waitTimeInSec parameter of yieldConfirmationCorrelation < the waitTimeInSec parameter of productionOderCompleteCorrelation.

End of the recommendation.
SAP ME

In Collaboration Directive Maintenance, you have verified parameter values of the ERP_YIELD_CONFIRMATION directive:

Activities

When you complete an SFC number at an ERP reporting step in the POD, a collaboration action is triggered and a yieldConfirmationCorrelationRequest message for that SFC number is sent to SAPMEINT. This message does not contain component information.

When the number of the yieldConfirmationCorrelationRequest messages with the same correlation key reaches the numberOfDocuments parameter value (or when waitTimeInSec parameter value is reached), SAPMEINT queries SAP ME for component information, generates a CorrelatedYieldConfirmationRequest, and sends the correlated production yield confirmation to SAP ERP.

Components are grouped by the following parameters:

  • Material

  • Reporting step

  • Storage location

  • Batch number

When you complete the last SFC number at the last ERP reporting step, a collaboration action is triggered and a productionOderCompleteCorrelationRequest message is sent to SAPMEINT. When the waitTimeInSec parameter value is reached for the productionOderCompleteCorrelationRequest message, SAPMEINT generates a CorrelatedProductionOrderCompleteRequest message and sends the correlated production order complete confirmation to SAP ERP.
