You can use the component confirmation (also goods issue confirmation) to perform the following business functions:
Post excess consumption/scrap for components
Perform the component backflush subsequently if you have decoupled the goods receipt and goods issue postings in the repetitive manufacturing profile by means of the GR and GI indicator .
With the component or activity confirmation you can post components or activities separately.
The separate component and activity confirmation is only possible with make-to-stock repetitive manufacturing.
If you want to confirm both finished parts and, at the same time, components and activities, switch to the assembly confirmation.
You have created a product cost collector.
The following functions are included in the standard form of the goods issue confirmation:
The system posts the goods issue.
The system determines the components by exploding the current BOM, the revision level BOM, or the planned order BOM.
The system reduces the planned orders or the run schedule quantities according to the logic preset in Customizing for Repetitive Manufacturing.
The system updates the statistics for the Logistics Information System (LIS).
The system generates individual documents for the postings in each case plus an overall (total) document.
