Automatic Goods Receipt for Co-Products in Confirmation Process

The automatic goods receipt process has significantly reduced the number of process steps previously required. When you have to confirm production orders for which there are co-products, you no longer need to call additional transactions.

When you confirm production orders, the system automatically calculates a proposal for the goods receipt or the item assigned to the operation with the corresponding quantity calculated. You can also use this function in milestone confirmation.

Note that the attribute for co-products and the indicator for automatic goods receipt must be set for the material.

The corresponding confirmation BAPIs have been enhanced.
