Production orders that belong to collective orders are generally confirmed like normal production orders. However, you should note the following:
When you carry out a confirmation at header or suboperation level, you can only confirm the order concerned.
When you confirm at operation level, you can confirm operations for all orders as long as you work with milestone operations or progress confirmations.
When there is a confirmation in the collective order, the system sets the status CFCO (release occurred in network) at the header level of the leading order in the collective order.
Example: Confirming Collective Orders
Note
With cross-order confirmations you can use an indicator in Customizing to specify whether orders that have already been finally confirmed at header level (status CONF) should also be confirmed.
