Prevent booking hours on certain activity at confirmation

[Former Member]

Dear SAP experts,

I have a requirement to prevent hours to be booked on a certain activity at confirmation via co11n/co11.

Labour hours are booked via a separate process/tool in our organization. Machine hours are booked via confirmations.

Can you hint me where to define settings that this activity is automatically set at 0 while confirming in co11n/co11 (also when clicking 'actual data')?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Marten,

In OPK0 for your confirmation profile, you can make service 2 or 3 which is for labor as per depends on the standard value key in the current work center  as Hidden also make No proposal to service and test the same.

Also you can hide the Actual Data button by transaction variant for CO11n through SHD0.

Or use BAdi WORKORDER_CONFIRM with your custom logic.

Hello R. Brahmankar,

I have checked that and we have services 2 and 4 already hidden (= setup labor, process labor). In Co11n this works. In CO11 however, these services are not hidden. Can I change that transaction view as well? (do you know where?)

Kind regards.

Hello Marten,

OPK0 setting works only for CO11N Single entry screen confirmation.

In transaction CO86 you can hide the services for CO11. Please try the same.

Thank you, you're input is very helpful!

I have now concluded that with this setting which is already in place, hours are confirmed for labour activity still. Can it be that SAP does automatically set confirmed activity hours as planned activity hours when confirming via co11n?

Hello,

If you don't want labor activity, just remove it and formula from work center costing tab.

It seems that all confirmations gone wrong are not done via CO11N, but via COHV - mass processing confirmations. Where can I change the settings for this, to make sure it works the same as CO11N. I've looked into OPKI, but we have no profiles there. If it should be that transaction, how do I create a new entry in OPKI?

Hello Marten,

Basically you don't want to post labor hours via co11n ? So go to CR02 and select "should not be entered" Basic data tab against your keyword for labor hours also chose "No Activity" in costing tab-Activities Overview.

Thanks for your input!

We do want the labour hours administrated in SAP for scheduling purposes, although they are not needed for costing purposes. Therefore 'should not be entered' is not desirable.

Is the solution then to delete the activity types only in the costing tab of the work center (CR02)?
