Functionality of the PP Confirmations 
Functionality of the PP Confirmations
Each activity is allocated three status fields that enable the lower level system to acquire the actual status of the operation in the R/3 System. Usually, the status of an operation for which no confirmation has been generated yet, is as follows:
Status of operation |
opera2-STATV |
=> ‘I0002’ |
released |
Confirmation type |
opera2-STATA |
=> ‘ ’ |
no confirmation for operation |
Final status |
opera2 STATE |
=> ‘ ’ |
no confirmation for operation |
The status fields feature the following characteristics:
a) Operation status
STATV |
= ‘I0002’ => Operation released = ‘I0104’ => Start of setup = ‘I0105’ => Setup interruption = ‘I0271’ => Partial end of setup = ‘I0106’ => End of setup = ‘I0107’ => Start of processing = ‘I0108’ => Processing interruption = ‘I0272’ => Partial end of processing = ‘I0109’ => End of processing = ‘I0110’ => Start of teardown = ‘I0111’ => Teardown interruption = ‘I0273’ => Partial end of teardown = ‘I0112’ => End of teardown = ‘I0009’ => Completely confirmed |
b) Confirmation type
STATA |
= ‘ ’ => no confirmation updated = ‘L’ => time ticket(s) updated = ‘Z’ => time event(s) updated |
c) Final status
STATE |
= ‘ ’ => no confirmation updated yet = ‘T’ => operation status "partial end" = ‘E’ => operation status "end" |
Each operation is allocated to an order. It is possible that the unit of measure used in the order(opera2-KMEIN) differs from the unit of measure used for the operation (opera2-MEINH). Using the quotient from UMREZ/UMREN, you can convert the unit of measure.
MEINH |

UMREZ/UMREN |
* |
KMEIN |

Quotient of numerator and denominator for conversion |

Unit of measure for header |
1 box contains 2 cans
opera2-KMEIN: KAR (box)
opera2-MEINH: DSE (can)
opera2-UMREZ: 1 | togetherform
opera2-UMREN: 2 | quotient 1/2
opera2-UNTMG: 20 <DSE> (overdelivery quantity)
opera2-UEBMG: 20 <DSE> (underdelivery quantity)
opera2-UNTLI: ‘X’ (tolerance check active)
opera2-UEBLI: ‘X’ (tolerance check active)
At the end of processing, a total quantity of 20 cans or 10 boxes must have been recorded as the tolerance check is active.
The subsystem always finds the factors required to convert a unit of measure to the SI unit in the unit2 table. This applies to the units of measure used for quantities and activities. The table contains all conversions known by the R/3 System. It is only used if the above-mentioned quotient or the opera2/unima2 tables do not cover the conversion.
The quantity tolerance fields (opera2-UNTMG and opera-UEBMG) display whether planning in PPC accounts for overdelivery or underdelivery. The following applies:
UNTMG |
<= |
(Sum LMNGA + Sum RMNGA) |
<= |
UEBMG |
Underdelivery |
smaller than equal to |
(Sum yield + sum reworking quantity) |
smaller than equal to |
Over-delivery |
No check for underdelivery is required for partial finish confirmations. However, a check for overdelivery is required. Both values must be checked for completion confirmations. The indicators (opera2-UNTLI, opera2-UEBLI) tell the system which reaction is required when tolerances are exceeded:
UNTLI/UEBLI |
= ‘ ’ => no reaction = ‘ ’ => output warning |
