'Automatic GR' from SFC complete in Order POD is not updated to ERP(hana cloud)

[Wonpyo]

Dear,

This question is regarding to an issue in SAP Digital Manufacturing(DM) which has been integrated with HANA Cloud ERP.

Before begin, we can see a SAP Help document that says, 'Automatic GR' is proceeded when a SFC is completed; and I have experimented it works.

https://help.sap.com/docs/sap-digital-manufacturing/execution/creating-goods-receipt?locale=en-US

The problem was appeared when I monitored Integration Message Dashboard app in DM. There were not any rows about Auto GR. It means Auto GR was not being updated to ERP. Of course, other GR Postings, which are manually posted in Order POD or Posting Report POD, are appeared well in the dashboard.

Is Auto GR only for in DM? If a integrated environment user will complete a SFC, should he manually post GR before complete? If the problem is not solved, when missing positing GR before complete, we have to post adding GR quantity at least 1 to Automatically generated quantity(same to ordered qty); that might be a wrong qty.

I am afraid that my knowledge and insights are not enough, that is why I am writing this question.

Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge and advising a solution.

Kind regard,

Wonpyo

Hi Wonpyo,

I think there're various ways to configure auto GR in ERP system. One option is using control key. You need to make sure Auto GR indicator is enabled in the control key, and assign the control key to one of the operations of the production order. 

Also, in DM side, the default Order POD is for process orders only. You need to customize an Order POD for production orders to post quantity confirmation (for auto GR).

Hi Wonpyo,

For auto-GR triggered by SFC complete in the Work Center POD, you won't see any seperate GR messages in the Integration Message Dashboard. The GR information is included in the Production Order Yield Confirmation message and sent to ERP system. 

If you don't see this message, please check if you've mapped the collaboration link COLLABORATION_ERP_YIELD_CONFIRMATION to the collaboration directive ERP_YIELD_CONFIRMATION_V2.

Hi Jielinx,

Thank you for comment!

I think so too; but I cannot be sure because, on display the production order in ERP, GR qty still seems '0'. You can see the picture right below.

Furthermore, the integration message in DM shows a request payload which even does not include any of GR. Please look at the copy below.

{
"OrderID": "1000125",
"Sequence": "000000",
"OrderOperation": "0010",
"ConfirmationText": "b2c4def7-1306-445a-99ad-fb59b05b65d0",
"Plant": "2000",
"PostingDate": "/Date(1729728000000)/",
"OpWorkQuantityUnit1": "",
"OpConfirmedWorkQuantity1": 0,
"OpWorkQuantityUnit2": "MIN",
"OpConfirmedWorkQuantity2": 4000,
"OpWorkQuantityUnit3": "",
"OpConfirmedWorkQuantity3": 0,
"OpWorkQuantityUnit4": "",
"OpConfirmedWorkQuantity4": 0,
"OpWorkQuantityUnit5": "",
"OpConfirmedWorkQuantity5": 0,
"OpWorkQuantityUnit6": "",
"OpConfirmedWorkQuantity6": 0
}

These are giving me a confusion. But I am glad to see an expert! I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Hi Wonpyo,

I think there's some misunderstanding here. What the documentation describes is not auto GR as you understand it. It's normal GR posting when you complete SFC in the Work Center POD.

What you want is auto GR as well as integration back to the ERP system. This auto-GR is only supported with quantity confirmation in the Order POD. For DI (Discreate Industry) orders, you need to customize an Order POD for DI specifically, and then post quantity confirmation against the last operation of the SFC. 

After that, you should be able to see the GR information included in the Production Order Quantity Confirmation message.

Could you please have a try?

Hi Jielinx,

Thank you for information.

As I tested, it seems 'auto posting' works well only in WC POD or Opr. POD but not in Ord. POD. Is that meant by SAP? And is there any way to enable 'auto posting' also in Ord. POD?

Hi Wonpyo,

For Order POD, normally you need to manually post goods receipts using the Goods Receipt plugin. However, as I mentioned, if you have enable automatic goods reciept using control key in your ERP system, then the system will auto-post the goods receipt together with the quantity confirmation in the Order POD.

I hope this information helps you.

Hi Jielinx,

Do you mean setting control key as YBP3 in manage workcentre in ERP that leads DM to post GR automatically?

I have tried that. Auto GR was not happened in Order POD, though...
