Confirmation of Process Orders or Production Orders with Batches

You can use this function for process or production orders (manufacturing orders) to post goods movements for components and confirm order quantities. To enter the quantity, you can weigh the material or scan the EAN code. Co-products and by-products can also be considered. For materials and batches without quantity input, the order confirmation is planned.

Integration

This function is a Web Dynpro application. You can execute this function by adding the Web Dynpro application to your Favorites. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Favorites Next navigation step Add other objects End of the navigation path and then choose Web Dynpro Application and enter the following:

Web Dynpro Application: CFB_WDA_DE_OVP
Description: Confirmation of Process Orders or Production Orders with Batches
Application Configuration: CFB_WDA_DE_OVP_CFG2

Alternatively, you can execute the Web Dynpro application in the SAP NetWeaver Business Client with the Composite Role for the Food and Beverage Industry (SAP_BPR_CFB_6). For more information, see Composite Role for the Food and Beverage Industry.

Prerequisites

If you want to weigh the material, you have made the settings described in Weighing for Goods Movements in the “Prerequisites” section.

If you want to scan the EAN code, you have entered the following data in Customizing for Logistics - General under Handling Unit Management Start of the navigation path Basics Next navigation step Define EAN128 Maintain Bar Code Specification End of the navigation path in the dialog structure Bar code type:

AI type	Minimum	Maximum	Prefix	Delimiter
EAN128	2	2	]C1	X'1D'

You have entered the appropriate values in the dialog structure Application Identifier for the bar code type EAN128. SAP supports the application identifiers listed in the following table:

AI type	AI	AI part	Description	AI length	BD	Formatting	Multipl.	ISO Code	Inspection
EAN128	01	0	Handling Unit EAN	10	-	N	1	no value	1
EAN128	10	0	Lot / Batch Number	20	selected	B	1	no value	no value
EAN128	30	0	Quantity in Pieces	8	selected	N	1	no value	no value
EAN128	310	0	Net Weight [kg]	6	-	N	1	KGM	no value
EAN128	330	0	Gross Weight [kg]	6	-	N	1	KGM	no value

If you want confirmation to be planned for materials and batches without quantity input (see section “Planned Confirmation - Input of Materials and Batches without Quantities”), you have implemented SAP Note 1527996. By doing so, the fields for entering quantities are not ready for input. During confirmation (of the header material), the system flags the corresponding components and posts the goods receipts on a percentage basis (as it would for backflushed materials).

You have created a process order or a production order.

Note Note

For process orders, you can only confirm phases and not operations. This means that you have flagged the Phase indicator in the process order.

End of the note.

Features

Entering Goods Issue Postings

Enter an order. If you have not entered a phase or an operation, the system determines a phase or an operation for the data selection. In the component list, it displays the components of the first phase or operation that can be confirmed. If you have chosen the Enter Goods Movements of Components menu button, you can execute the following goods movements:

Post Goods Issue - Input of Quantity, Batch, and Storage Location
Once you have entered an order and selected the menu button Enter Goods Movements of Components, you can post the goods issue by entering the quantity, batch, and storage location. Although the system displays all the components in the component list, you cannot post backflushed components. The system posts them automatically during confirmation. You can either have the quantity entered automatically by weighing or by scanning the EAN code, or you can manually enter it in the Quantity/Net Weight column:
- Weigh:
  You first enter a Scale ID, select the relevant row, and choose Weigh. The system then weighs the material and either transfers the net weight or calculates the gross weight and transfers the gross weight, net weight, and tare, depending on the Customizing settings. The system copies this data to the weight log.
- EAN Code
  You first select the row with the relevant material and position your cursor on the EAN field. Then scan the the EAN code using the bar-code reader, and choose Transfer so that the system transfers the EAN code values.
- Manual Entry:
  Select the relevant row and enter the quantity you want to post in the appropriate field in the Quantity/Net Weight column. If the material is subject to batch management, you must also enter a batch number here. You can also enter a different storage location for the goods issue.
When you post, the system posts the goods issue for the corresponding order with the entered quantity and the consumed batches.
Post Goods Receipt for Co-Products and By-Products - Input of Quantity, Batch, and Storage Location
To post the goods receipt for co-products and by-products, follow the steps described above for goods issue. The system identifies the co-products and by-products in the Co-/By-Product column. When you post, the system posts the goods receipt for the corresponding order with the entered quantity and the consumed batches.
Planned Confirmation - Input of Materials and Batches without Quantities
Once you have entered an order and chosen the Enter Goods Movements of Components menu button, the system plans the order confirmation for the materials and batches. The system does not post a goods issue at this point.

Note
The Backflush indicator should not be selected for the component.

End of the note.

Check the storage location and post the planned confirmation. The system backflushes the goods issue posting after the order confirmation with the order quantity.

To process the goods movements, the system takes all the entries in the component list into account that have a quantity or net weight greater than zero (except for those without quantity input), regardless of which rows you have selected. For materials and batches without quantity input, the system only takes the batch number and storage location entries into account.

Order Quantity Confirmation

Enter an order. If you have not entered a phase or an operation, the system chooses the first milestone confirmation. If the manufacturing order does not contain a milestone confirmation, the system chooses the components of the first phase or operation that can be confirmed. If you have chosen the Confirm Order Quantity menu button, you can carry out a partial or final confirmation. The quantity (or net weight) that you want to confirm is either entered automatically if you enter the Scale ID and choose Weigh, or manually if you enter the quantity in the Quantity/Net Weight field. Depending on your Customizing settings, when you weigh a material the system either just transfers the net weight or it calculates the gross weight and then transfers the gross weight, net weight, and tare to the weight log. See SAP Note 1570175. When you post the confirmation, the system automatically posts the goods issues for the backflushed components as well as the materials and batches without quantity input.

Activities
