Correlated Confirmation Feature SD(BOM)

[esatesenek]

Hi all,

I would like to introduce a solution that our clients have long desired. In many of our projects, clients expreses the need for correlated confirmation in sales BOM processes.

Prior to S/4 2023, we provided complete delivery to clients, and we were unable to prevent partial confirmation. Consequently, before S/4 2023, achieving this was not feasible with SAP's standard solution. However, we can now address this issue through delivery group customization in SD item categories.

SAP IMG (SPRO)

Sales and Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Sales Documents Item>Define Item Categories

If they want to confirm sub-items together without requiring a complete delivery in their BOM processes, we can facilitate this using the delivery group and the correlate BOM component parameter. Also with this feature our clients will be able to increase their order fullfilment levels. This feature can be utilized in many sectors that sell bundled products during promotional periods.

If you choose the "B" indicator for this parameter, when creating a sales order, the system will check the available quantities of all sub-items for each delivery group. If there is insufficient confirmed quantity for a single bill of material item in a delivery group, the quantities of the other bill of material items in that delivery group are also reduced accordingly based on correlation. Furthermore, when BOP (Backorder Processing) is executed, the system will behave in the same.

Go to transaction CS01 to create sales BOM:

Go to transaction CO09 to check available stock qty for BOM component before creating sales order.

In this case, sales order for more than 3 set products cannot be fulfilled.

Go to transaction VA01 to create sales order.

Go to procurement tab to check confirmation.

Although there are 1018 units of material number 23 in stock, only 30 units were confirmed in the order due to this feature.

After the goods receipt, the stock of material number 24 has increased to 20 units.

Go to transaction ATP_BOP to execute BOP.

Go to Monitor BOP Run app in the fiori.

After the stock increase, when we executed the BOP, the order was confirmed again at the BOM component level in the same manner.

Thanks!
