Entering Collective Confirmations 

Prerequisites

You can preset the following values (in Customizing for Process Orders, choose Operations ® Confirmation ® Define Parameters for Collective Confirmation).

Procedure

1. Choose Logistics ® Production process ® Process order.

2. Choose Confirmation ® Enter for phase ® Collective confirm.

The Collective Entry: Time Ticket screen appears.

3. Enter the data that is to be valid for all confirmations (for example, unit of measure, personnel number) in the Default values section and choose Enter. You can save these default values as user-dependent so that they appear the next time you log on. You can also delete these default values.

Enter your confirmations. Each line corresponds to a confirmation and contains fields that are also available when you make a single entry for a time ticket confirmation.
You can determine how the table is to be set up (see
Table Controls).

You can change the default type of confirmation identification during the input dialog. To do this, choose Edit ® Other view.

You can have the system suggest actual data (quantities, activities, dates, personnel data). To do so, select the relevant confirmations, choose Actual data, select the relevant actual data, and choose Continue. This data overwrites data that you may have already entered.

4. Save your confirmations.

You can go to the actual data screen by choosing Goto ® Actual data. You have the complete functionality of time ticket confirmation. From this screen, you can go to the detail screens and to the goods movement overview. If several confirmations have been selected, you can switch between the individual confirmations.

You can branch to the goods movement overview from the collective entry screen (choose Goto ® Goods movements). On this screen, the goods movements for the selected confirmations are displayed.

You can check and, if necessary, change the goods movements. When you go back to the collective entry screen, the Goods movement already determined indicator is set for the selected confirmations. When you save the confirmations, the goods movements are also posted.
