RO Process_PO Creation in ECC & Confirmation Clarification

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

Need some urgent help on RO Process!!!

We have done a RO Set-up in our organization, SNC is sending the RO details to ECC and IDOC is getting failed in ECC, saying

"Errors occurred confirming purchase order 41000000**

Confirmation control key 0008 for confirmation category AB not maintained... "

We have done a WE20 settings as ORDRSP (Message Type <> SMI (Message Variant) <> ORDS (Process Code), as per standard.

I have gone through many threads, but found not suiting to my scenario....

RO Process looks for AB Confirmation as Mandatory settings for the Confirmation control Key in the scenario?

If we want to Suppress this, saying no AB Confirmation required, how do we process the IDOC?

Hi Guru,

Check confirmation control key 0008 setting in ECC.

Path SPRO>Material Management >Purchasing >Confirmations > Set Up Confirmation Control

Select the confirmation control key 0008 and check (reprocessed failed IDoc)

Hello Nikhil,

Thanks for your Inputs.. I am aware of the Above settings, my question was is AB Confirmation a Mandatory Setting required for RO Process?

As I believe Once the RON_IN goes to SNC a Confirmed PO will be changed to Unconfirmed.

I am following below scenario, please suggest... I am stuck when:

1) Not able to Create ASN from RO Screen, says no Due Qty

2) PO Status shown as NOT-CONFIRMED, but since this is RO Process, I expect once the RO is published it should be in Confirmed status and should be ready for ASN Creation...

Planned receipts Updated.

RO Created from Due List and Published

After RO Publish I am seeing the Due Qty as ZERO

Two XML Triggered from SNC to ECC

TWO IDOCs are created in ECC

ORDRSP

PORDCH (this is referring to SO number created in SNC)

Have maintained same number range for PO and SO in SNC Number range attributes

PO Created with AB Confirmation

IDOC Of type PORDCR1 is created:

Due to above, RON_IN has been generated in SNC

Trying to create ASN from RO Details.. Get Due Qty is ZERO

I will be able to see the PO in PO-WorkList

I need to Confirm the PO in PO Worklist / Overview

Then Create ASN Against the Confirmed PO Schedule Lines from PO Overview

But This is RO Process Right, we should be able to created the ASN from RO Screen, without confirming the PO? as this PO was created by Supplier, logically why he has to confirm it?

Awaiting Expert feedback.

Hello All,

I was able to resolve this Issue

The requirement was to Create ASN without doing PO Confirmation in RO Process.

1) Implemented Few Validation changes: Activated below for POS1 & POS2

RO_OPENQUAN_FROM_ASNGRQUAN, RO_OPENQUAN_FROM_ASNQUAN and

RO_OPENQUAN_FROM_POGRQUAN

2) Deactivated the Output Message in ECC, as confirmation back to SNC as RON_IN will re-trigger the confirmed message to Unconfirmed, which would be again subjected to change..

If any one need any help on RO Process set-up, please contact me
