PO Change Validation Checks

[Former Member]

We are new to SNC. We have created our own settings for POC1 PO_CONFIRMATION_DELETE and POC1 PO_CONF_RELEVANCE_CTRL in SNC. These setting are active. Our concern is that when a PO Change is sent for a PO that a supplier has already confirmed, the entire PO confirmation is deleted even if only one line of a multi-line PO is changed. Have other customers seen this behavior? Since SNC requires all PO lines to be sent with every change, is there a setting that will limit which lines are deleted?

Thanks!

I should hae been more specific. For both our PO and PO change, we are using Idoc ORDERS05 and field E1EDP01/ACTION to store the "action" for the PO lines we send which are translated in PI to the "ReplenishmentOrderNotification_In" SAP XML and tag "Item actionCode".

Since SNC requires all PO lines to be sent with every change, is there a setting or value that controls which lines are deleted?

Any advice I can get from others using similar documents to process orders and order changes would be appreciated.

Hi Michelle,

We also use the same setting for deleting confirmations when the PO line item is changed in ECC. For us the validation check works correctly i.e., it deletes the Confirmation only from the PO line items which has been changed in ECC. The confirmations for other line items remain intact.

What are you using to send POs from ECC - Idocs or XMLs?

We are using XMLs where again it sends the complete PO everytime and it works fine.

We are using Idocs and we don't have it connected to SAP ECC, so what the "Item actionCode" in your XML message?

We are using PurchaseOrderERPReplenishmentOrderCollaborationNotification_In Service Interface for posting POs in SNC.

In this XML, we dont have "Item action code". Instead, "ProcessingTypeCode" at inidvidual line items and its having a value of "3" for both the PO line items.

- <Item>

      <ID>00010</ID>

      <ProductProcurementArrangmentID>XXXXXXXXX</ProductProcurementArrangmentID>

          <ProcessingTypeCode>3</ProcessingTypeCode>
