Cancellation of SFC without ERP integration message

[daried]

Dear SAP DM community,

is there a possibility to cancel/discard a SFC without posting any message to SAP ERP (e.g., when SFC has been released by user error).

If we are using a NC code and assigned Disposition Routing (e.g., Scrap) then "Production Order Scrap Confirmation" will be triggered to SAP ERP - this is not what we want for this intended use case.

Would be appreciated if you have any hint or guidance on how to setup such scenario in SAP DM.

BW,
Daniel

In summary, it can therefore be said that it is currently not possible (in SAP DM 2311) to implement such a scenario.

I will then create a customer influence request for SAP DM accordingly.

I have created an Improvement request related to this question, refer to https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/3537/ideas. Please leave an upvote in case you need such DM functionality too.

Hi Daniel,

I dont think cancelling SFC alone is possible in DM. Instead you can discard the order and create a new order with which SFCs will also be kind of discarded.

Unfortunately discarding the order is not possible if it still has an open SFC. This only works while the SFC is still in status new. When it was started, the original issue remains.

Yes right. I expected when order has all signed off SFCs , discard would be allowed but it is not so. probably, you can tell the exact requirement of why SFCs to be discarded to find alternate solution.

In our scenario it is a case of under-production, so more quantity was released than finally produced. Then the order should be completed and the remaining SFC completed/cancelled without triggering any additional confirmation back to ERP. Unfortunately I think this is not possible as the remaining SFC either has to be completed or scrapped. When you try to complete the order while the SFC is still open, you get the error that there is still an open SFC.

Hi,

there are several use cases where a SFC discard would be useful, the most recent one we had:
In case of a longer downtime / unavailability of SAP DM, the production will switch back to confirmation in SAP ECC. Now when the order is fully confirmed in SAP ECC when SAP DM is then up and running again, you just want to get rid of the outdated SFC data in SAP DM.
