Confirmations with errors can arise if they were entered in one of the following ways:

Upload from a PDC system (see Upload)

Online entry ( Fast Entry or Mass Processing)

Entry via BAPI interface

Possible errors include:

Order does not exist (for entry via PDC system, BAPI interface)

Order was locked
Sequence of time events incorrect
Individual capacity does not exist
Work center or personnel number does not exist

Selection

On the initial screen, you can enter your selection criteria for selecting the confirmations that you want to reprocess. Possible selection criteria are: Production order, plant, confirmation, WBS element, sales order, MRP controller, work center, created by, created on.

Navigation

The screen for reprocessing confirmations is split into two areas:

Overview list of the confirmations
Detail screen for the selected confirmation

In the standard setting, the overview list is on the left and the detail display of the confirmation is on the right. To change the position of the overview list, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text (move the list in an anti-clockwise direction, select the position of the overview list). This last setting is saved for the particular user who created it and is used again the next time the function is called up.

Reprocessing

The confirmation that you have chosen from the overview (cursor position) is displayed in the detail screen. In the detail screen, you can remove the error in the confirmation.

The following confirmations can be reprocessed:

Order confirmation
Operation confirmation
Time event confirmation
Activity confirmation

The layout of the detail screen is determined by the confirmation that you are currently processing. The layout can be set up flexibly for an operation confirmation (see Single Screen Entry).
