Final_Entry flag not set for PO

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

When the whole PO quantity is confirmed from the SRM, the delivery completed indicator is marked in backend however the the PO item final_entry is not marked under BBP_PDIGP.

Also the check mark does not show on the confirmation on web or GUI(Last delivery).

When I check the corresponding SC, for the same item the final_entry flag is marked. I debugged little bit on the BBP_GET_STATUS_2 to see what gets updated, and I found it is updating for SC only. I am not sure how this report works, but I didnt find info about PO update within the report.

I have applied the following notes already

Note 718138 - Reading of backend purchase orders for EC POs in EBP 4.0

Note 895171 - Unsynchronized follow-on document indicator in extended PO

Note 895932 - Dump after applying note 895171

Note 906151 - Follow on correction for note 895171

I have checked BBP_GET_STATUS_2 with all options unchecked (Delete Indicator not set etc) hence no restrictions.

Has anyone faced this problem before?Our system is SRM SERVER 5, SP08. Even if I want to debug to find the problem I do not know from where to start coz BBCF01 etc are successful in creating the GR with last delivery flag marked. It is the transfer of this flag from the backend which seems to be the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Swetha

Hi

In SRM portal, for the given PO, did you check the indicator for delivery completion under

Item data-->Satistics tab.

In SRM the confirmed value and quantities are transferred to SC and it controls the PO behaviour based on that. Hence I think you should not get worried over this.

Thanks for the reply, Sanjay. Yes, The "no further confirmation expected" is checked in the statistics tab of the PO.

However the FINAL_ENTRY FLAG of the PO is used in our reports in production to check if there are any open POs. I also think ideally the final_entry flag should be in synch with the flag of confirmation, PO and SC and since I found few notes corresponding to this problem, I suppose the standard functionality is that these should be in-sync.

Do you know if there is a way to debug this to find the problem?

Thanks again

Swetha,

The reason for Final_INV not updated is due to the status of PO in backend. When you are setting the value in BBP_PDIGP, use FM META_PO_DELETE and update the del ind with 'S'.

This will reset the value of Source release indicator. So internally follow these steps..

1) Update final_inv indicator in PO using bbp_pd_po_update

2) Save PO using FM bbp_pd_po_update.

3) Use FM META_PO_DELETE to set del indicator (it updates in ECC from SRM)

4) Run BBP_GET_STATUS_2 (use submit and return in the code)

5) Change the value of the source rel indicator in BBP_PDIGP.

Let me know if you need more info..

Rakesh,

Thanks for the reply but I am mainly concerned about the final_entry field and not final_inv. Also the standard functionality is when you update the confirmation with the total value of the PO, then the PO final_entry flag should be ticked on SRM. This is not happening. However the final_entry flag is getting ticked for shopping cart and for the backend PO. This is all POs, so I want to know if there is a way to debug what is going wrong.. BBP_GET_STATUS2 I debugged without any luck

Swetha,

Find some details on Final Entry in OSS note 1140861:

1. When FINAL_ENTRY flag is set automatically?

• In case of goods PO the flag will be set automatically if PO quantity is equal to GR quantity and no tolerances were maintained.

• In case of service PO it must be set explicitely and manually. Other restriction in case of service final entry is that the flag cannot be set with zero quantity, note: 1076158.

2. When FINAL_ENTRY flag is reset automatically?

• It is synchronized to MM PO using scheduled job BBP_GET_STATUS_2.

• Note 718138 enabled FINA_ENTRY read, if it was set in the Backend.

• It is reset, for example, if PO quantity changed and further GR are expected. Notes: 862506, 980694, 812564.

• If FINAL_ENTRY flag is reset unjustified, please apply the enclosed notes.

3. How is FINAL_ENTRY flag converted in the MM PO?

• SRM final entry indicator FINAL_ENTRY correpsonds to MM delivery completed indicator ELIKZ.

• Since SAP_APPL 470 there was complete delivery indicator EKKO-AUTLF in MM PO header which has no use (also not for GR postings) as of note 31663.

• In SRM PO close/finish is additionally set thru PO status (I1180).

• FINAL_ENTRY flag of SRM/MM PO should be in synch, note: 906151.

4. Which processes are triggered by FINAL_ENTRY flag?

• PO display (BBP_POC): if all PO items have FINAL_ENTRY key set, it should not be displayed anymore using Purchasing Cockpit.

• Confirmation creation (BBPCF02,BBPSC03): s.a.

• Return delivery (BBPCF02,BBPCF03): after return delivery FINAL_ENTRY flag must be reset to be able to create new confirmations. Notes: 872011, 1031298, 1132666.

• Sourcing (BBPSOCO01): s.a.

Rakesh, I have gone through that note by you already. And hence if you look into my originial question posted I have mentioned all the relevant notes I have already implemented (the ones part of 1140861 and relevant to my problem)
