Confirmation Correction 

Use

For example, if you want to change a quantity specification, you can still correct warehouse tasks in the goods receipt process that have already been confirmed.

Prerequisites

You have defined a completion delay for inbound deliveries.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) under Goods Receipt Process ® Inbound Delivery ® Define Delay in Completing Inbound Deliveries.

You are using a document type and item type with a status profile for which you have activated the status DWM.

For more information, see the IMG for EWM under Cross-Process Settings ® Delivery Processing  ® Status Management  ® Define Status Profiles.

Features

EWM delays sending a warehouse task that has already been confirmed, corresponding to the completion delay you have specified for inbound deliveries in Customizing. In accordance with the completion delay, you can still correct the actual quantity for the destination storage bin and the batch. You make your correction and specify an exception code in the warehouse task for each delivery item.

When the completion delay has passed, EWM sets the status DWM for sending the completion indicator to Completed. By doing this, EWM also indirectly sets the completion status DCO for the inbound delivery to Completed. Only when the completion status DCO for an inbound delivery has status value Completed does EWM forward the confirmed warehouse task to the ERP system. Only now does the ERP system perform any necessary activities, such as for a returns process or a stock transfer order. From this point in time, you cannot make any further corrections in the confirmed warehouse task. You can schedule report /SCWM/R_PRDI_SET_DWM to set the status DWM for sending the completion indicator to Completed. For more information, see the report documentation.

If you do not specify a completion delay for inbound deliveries in Customizing, EWM immediately sets the status DWM for sending the completion indicator to Completed, and you can no longer make a confirmation correction.

You can correct a warehouse task that has already been confirmed in both the user interface and in the RF environment. EWM calculates the difference quantity and posts it.

For example, you have specified 11 pieces as the Act.Qty (Dest.) (destination actual quantity) and already confirmed the warehouse task. You notice that you have made a mistake, and change the Act.Qty (Dest.) to 10 pieces. EWM automatically calculates the Dest.Diff.Qty (destination difference quantity) as 1 piece, and posts this. That is, EWM performs a type of stock adjustment regarding the relevant warehouse task.

For displaying the warehouse task in the user interface or in the RF environment, you can use the warehouse order, the stock identification, or the storage bin as a selection criterion.

Activities

...

       1.      If you want to make a confirmation correction using the user interface, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Extended Warehouse Management ® Execution ® Confirm Warehouse Task and then Correct the Confirmation.

       2.      EWM then does the following:

                            a.      Checks whether serial numbers are mandatory for the products of the warehouse task

You cannot correct the confirmation for products for which a serial number requirement exists.

                            b.      Checks which authorizations you have

                            c.      Checks whether the warehouse task is locked

                            d.      Checks which inbound delivery belongs to the warehouse task (reference)

       3.      EWM reads the inbound delivery and checks that the completion status DCO of the inbound delivery does not yet have status value Completed.

                            a.      If the status does not yet have the status value Completed, EWM locks the inbound delivery from further warehouse activities until you have made your confirmation correction. The fields for the confirmation correction entry are ready for input, and you can make your correction.

                            b.      If the status already has the status value Completed, none of the fields are ready for input, and you cannot make a confirmation correction.
