(SCM920 Exercise 4)
• Confirmation parameters
• Reasons for variance
• Activate PP-PDC interface
In this exercise, you configure the third part of the control parameters for order functions and continue testing to see if they have been executed successfully.
1-1 Confirm the first operation in the production order from the earlier exercise (exercise 2, step 1-6-2) using a time ticket confirmation.
1-1-1 Which parameters are missing for the order type?
Answer: ___________________
1-1-2 Which confirmation profile does the transaction CO11N use?
Answer: _____________
1-2 Use the following parameters to control the confirmations for plant 1000 and your order type PP##:
Tab page Generally Valid Settings
Operation sequence, underdelivery, and overdelivery are not checked Propose time units Automatic optimization
Tab page General Individual Entry
Confirmation type Partial confirmation Open reservations Do not post
Tab page Operation Iindividual Entry Using Initial Screen
Quantities Select all
I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y
1-3 Configure a confirmation profile SCM920_## “Profile 51” for the transaction CO11N using the following charts, and enter it in your user master record.
Header area Confirmation number (Confirmation) Detail area 1 Quantities (any)
Detail area 2 Activities (any) Detail area 3 Personal data (any) Detail area 4 Comments
Select the pushbutton text yourself.
Enter the default values on the Default tab page as in step 1-2.
1-4 Configure a reason for variance MM## “machine malfunction” using the user status MM## for the plant 1000.
1-5 Confirm the first operation in the production order from the earlier exercise (exercise 2, step 1-6-2) using a time ticket confirmation and the final confirmation status.
Check if the reason for variance MM## allows you to confirm.
The next activities in the exercise are optional.
Only do these activities if you have enough time.
1-6 A plant data collection system (PDC) has been installed in your company.
The technical linkage to SAP R/3 has already been set up by the system administrator. You have to make additional preparations
for the application.
1-6-1 First, activate the PDC interface (PP-PDC plant data collection) for your order type PP## so that orders can be transferred to this PDC system, and confirmations can be created by this system and transferred to SAP R/3.
1-6-2 Configure a group for subsystems 0## (PDC system group ##).
Path: SAP R/3 → SPRO → Cross-Application Components → Plant Data Collection → Functions Valid for all Communication Channels→ Define Groupings for Subsystems
1-6-3 Assign your group for subsystems 0## to all work centers (Subsystem pushbutton) that are used in the routing for product
R-F1** (** = ## less 50 !!!)
I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y
1-6-4 Create a new production order again using the following data for your product R-F1** (** = ## less 50 !!!) and release the order.
Plant 1000
Order type PP##
Product R-F1** (** = ## less 50 !!!) Total quantity 10 pieces
Scheduling type <as proposed>
Start date Current date + 1 month
1-6-5 Execute an initial download of the production orders for the PDC system using the CC2 interface (communication channel 2).
Path: SAP R/3 → Logistics → Production → Production Control
→ Confirmation → Subsystem → Download → Initial Download
Select the pushbutton Download
1-6-6 Use the transaction WE05 for the logical message type OPERA2 to check if there are relevant IDOCs for the message type OPERA2 in the
communication interface for this order.
Display the data records of the IDOC list and check the confirmation number (operation) and the order number.

Answer: Yes
1-3 Path: SAP R/3 → SPRO → Production → Shop Floor Control
→ Operations → Task List Selection → Select Automatically
1-4 Path: SAP R/3 → SPRO → Production → Shop Floor Control
→ Operations → Bill of Material Selection → Define Applications
1-5 Which BOM usages does your order type allow?
You should base your answer to this question on the selection ID 01 given in 1-4.
Path: SAP R/3 → SPRO → Production → Shop Floor Control
→ Operations → Bill of Material Selection → Define Priorities for BOM Usages
Answer: Production, engineering/design, universal
1-6-1 Has the order been correctly created with routing and BOM?
Answer: Yes
1-7 Does the production order you created in 1-6-2 also contain documents in its document overview?
Answer: No
1-8-1 Which document type was linked?
Answer: DRW
1-8-2 Would a document of the type TST also be linked?
Answer: No
Path: SAP R/3 → SPRO → Cross-Application Components → Document Management → Control Data → Define Document Types

1-4 Now try to release the order from the earlier exercise (exercise 2, step 1-7).
1-4-1 Is this possible?
Answer: Yes
1-4-2 Has the material availability check been executed?
Answer: Yes
1-5-1 Path: SAP R/3 → SPRO → Production → Shop Floor Control → Master Data → Order → Define Status Profile
Select the pushbutton New Entry
The status profile is immediately created. Select the row of the new profile and add both new statuses.
Now select the pushbutton Object Types and select the production order row.
Save and return to your status profile.
Place the cursor on your status GRNP and select the pushbutton Details.
You branch to the list of business transactions that can be influenced.
Select the pushbutton New Entries
Make the defined settings.
1-8 Use the Customizing settings to check if the control parameters for printing shop floor papers are complete (that is, are working) for your plant 1000, your order type PP##, and your user name. Are they complete?
Answer: Yes
Explanation of the answer: Most of the controlling key fields (user, plant, MRP controller, order type, …) are asterisked (***) and the existing entries are thus generally valid for all.

1-11 Check the default storage location in the reservation for the material component R-B1##. From which object (material master, BOM, work center) does the default originate?
Path: To be able to answer this question, you have to check several data fields in the sequence in which the system executes the default storage location (work center for the operation, BOM item, material master for the component). See the relevant slides.
Answer: BOM
1-15 Try to execute the receipt posting (goods receipt) for the same order. Is this possible?
Answer: No, because of the user status GRNP.
