 Statuses in the Work Order

The work order item, the phases of the work order item, and the planned phase inputs/outputs (planned PIOs) have one or several linked statuses. The statuses provide information about the status of the objects with respect to the negotiation or execution of the work order.

Statuses of the Work Order Item
  • Content in Negotiation (CINE)

    The work order item contains at least one phase with a planned PIO that the customer and supplier still have to negotiate. Such a PIO has the status In Negotiation ( INEG ).

  • Content Canceled (CCNL)

    All request PIOs and confirmation PIOs are canceled.

  • Content Rejected (CREJ)

    The supplier has rejected all request PIOs of the customer.

  • Content in Agreement (CIAG)

    All of the PIOs are either in agreement or canceled. (At least one PIO must be in agreement.) The work order therefore no longer contains any PIOs with the status INEG .

  • In Execution (IEXE)

    The supplier has started with production and has reported an actual phase input (component consumption) for the first phase.

  • Production Completed (PRCO)

    The supplier has completed production and has reported the last actual phase output (completed components) for the last production phase.

  • Shipped (SHIP)

    The supplier has sent the last delivery to the customer and has reported the last phase input for the transportation phase.

  • Execution Completed (EXCO)

    The customer has received the last delivery and has reported the last phase output for the transportation phase. The work order is completed.

  • Closed (CLSD)

    The customer no longer requires the completed work order with status EXCO ( Execution Completed) and has closed the work order using the report for closing work orders. For more information, see Closing Work Orders (Report) .

Statuses of the Phase
  • Content in Negotiation (CINE)

    The phase contains at least one PIO that the customer and supplier must still negotiate. Such a PIO has the status In Negotiation ( INEG ).

  • Content Canceled (CCNL)

    All request PIOs and confirmation PIOs are canceled.

  • Content Rejected (CREJ)

    The supplier has rejected all request PIOs of the phase.

  • Content in Agreement (CIAG)

    All PIOs of the phase are either in agreement or canceled. (At least one PIO must be in agreement.) The phase therefore no longer contains any PIOs with the status INEG .

  • In Execution (IEXE)

    The supplier has reported the first actual phase input for consumed input components for the phase.

  • Execution Completed (EXCO)

    In a production phase, this status means that the supplier has reported the last actual phase output and has set the Phase Completed indicator. The supplier, therefore, has completed the last output component.

    In a transportation phase, this status means that the customer has reported the last actual phase output and has set the All Delivered indicator. The customer, therefore, has received the last inbound delivery.

  • Shipped (SHIP)

    This status is only relevant for transportation phases. The transportation phase obtains this status when the supplier confirms the last phase input for the transportation phase and has set the Everything Shipped indicator. The supplier, therefore, has sent the last delivery to the customer.

Negotiation-Relevant Statuses of Request PIOs and Confirmation PIOs
  • In Negotiation (INEG)

    The PIO is part of the negotiations between the customer and supplier. The customer and supplier are therefore still negotiating whether to use the PIO as plan PIO or to cancel it.

  • In Agreement (IAGR)

    The customer and supplier have reached an agreement for the PIO. The PIO is therefore a plan PIO that the supplier must comply with.

  • Rejected (REJE)

    The customer or supplier has rejected the confirmation PIO or the request PIO.

  • Canceled (CNCL)

    The owner of a PIO has canceled the PIO.

  • Draft (DRFT)

    As long as the customer or supplier has not yet published a work order, a new or changed request PIO or confirmation PIO has the status Draft ( DRFT ). The change here can also consist of a status change, for example, through rejection of a PIO. When the business partner publishes the work order, new or changed PIOs lose their Draft status. The other business partner now has to react to the proposals.

    As long as a business partner processes a PIO and the PIO has the status Draft , the other bueiness partner cannot process the PIO.

  • Cancellation Requested (CARE)

    This status is relevant if the customer and supplier have already reached an agreement for a PIO and the PIO has the status IAGR . To request a cancellation, the owner of a PIO having the status IAGR can use the Cancel function. A cancelation request can also be made indirectly if the owner of the PIO creates a counterproposal for this PIO, by changing the quantity or date/time of this PIO or by splitting the PIO.

    SAP SNC creates the Respond to Cancelation Request action for the other business partner.

  • Cancellation Rejected (CARJ)

    A business partner has rejected the cancellation request from the other business partner with respect to the latter's PIO that already has the status IAGR .

  • Excluded from Adaptation (EFAD)

    A business partner has created a counterproposal to a production PIO created by the other business partner. As a result, the original production PIO receives the status EFAD ( Excluded from Adaptation ). The Adapt Work Order function does not adapt the status, the quantity, or the date/time of PIOs that have the status EFAD to changed deliveries. For more information, see Negotiation Functions and Adaptation of the Work Order .

Transportation PIO Statuses for Deviations Between Planned and Projected Data

The system can calculate (“project”) which partial quantities of the primary product will be available at which anticipated date/time for shipping to the customer and arrival at the customer (see Calculation of Projected Deliveries ). The results of this projection are the projected inputs and outputs of the transportation phase (projected transportation PIOs). The system compares the planned transportation PIOs with the projected transportation PIOs. If the quantities and dates/times of the projected transportation PIOs deviate too strongly from the quantities and date of a planned transportation PIO, the system creates the corresponding actions and status for the transportation PIO. For more information, see Alerts, Actions, and Statuses for Deviating Projected Deliveries .

PIO Statuses for Deviations Between Planned and Projected Data

The system compares the actual data that the supplier reports for the input and output components of a phase, with the planned phase inputs and phase outputs. If the quantity and dates/times of the actual PIOs deviate too strongly from the quantity and date of a planned PIO, the system creates the corresponding actions and status for the planned PIO. For more information, see Alerts, Actions, and Statuses for Deviating Actual Data .
