Blocking transactions - OKP1

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Hints would be appreciated concerning the following issue.

We need to block the PM orders ( time imputed) 3 days previous the period blocking date.To be clearer, letu2019s say we close September on October 10th , but need to block any imputations on PM orders on October 7th.

OKP1 offers 15 transactions that can be blocked independently before the period is blocked but cannot identify exactly which is which. Any ideas about the detailed transactions ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Cristina,

OKP1 won't give you solution. You can either create a validation on CO level (I assume, that you have commitments activated) and check the date there with user-exit (note, that it will stand only for PO that create commitment in CO) or find a user-exit for creation of PO and make your validation there.

Thanks Eli.

OKP1 works fine when we block the period, thus I assume among the 30 transactions there is one that does exactly what we need.

Bref, is there a way to know exactly what do we block with each individual transaction - since we have this option ? Even if it does not help in this case .. it would be nice to know, because we do not use the full capacity.

Thank you.

Hello Christina,

For OKP1 the business transactions you are looking for are "Actual activity allocation" and "Actual inverse activity alloc.". Unfortunelty locking these in OKP1 might not really be the best thing to do given that it is a major on/off switch and will most likely affect modules other than PM.

Therefore, using a user exit to controll input is probably a better way to go.

If you are using CATS to enter time that triggers the confirmation use User Exit "CATS0003 CATS: Validate recorded data" to control the time entered for PM type orders.

If you are using IW41 to enter time confirmations use user exit "CONFPM02 PM/SM order confirmation: Customer specific input checks 1" to control entry values.

Hope this helps,

Andy
