PP Production Order Regarding Production Order Confirmation

Production order confirmation with future date is not allowed

Future dates can be configured in the confirmation configuration.

In configuration OPK4, define confirmation parameters.

When this configuration comes up, in the "Checks" Sections, the last parameter says

"Date in the future."

Check this box if you want your dates in the future.

It determines whether dates in the future can be used in a confirmation.

If the indicator is not set, you cannot make any confirmations using dates in the future.

If you try to do so, the system will issues an error message.

What is the importance of Production Order confirmation? Is there any specification to use type of confirmation ie., CO11 or CO15 or CO11N ?

A confirmation documents the processing status of orders, operations, suboperations and individual capacities.
You can enter a confirmation
- For an Opeartion (co11/co11n)
You have the following options:
- To confirm quantities, durations, activities or personnel data.
- To make a confirmation at a particular point in time (for example, at the start of setup or the finish of processing) enter a
confirmation.
- When you confirm time events, the system calculates the required duration. For example, the setup duration is the time between setup start and setup finish.
- For an Order : CO15
If you enter a confirmation at order header level, the system confirms all the operations that have a control key in which
confirmation is optional or necessary. The quantitiesconfirmed in the operations are proportional to the quantities confirmed in the order header. *-- Rajesh

I want to stop the confirmation of production order whenever there is no goods issue to the production order so that I can get the correct material accounting report. I can't set backfliush indicator to the material at Routing level because we are handling the raw material in batches, so I have to assign the batches to issue the raw material.( tcode CO27 ).
We have set the criteria to release the production order is only availability of raw material in plant, so system checks only the availability of raw material & releases the order. Is it possible after issuing the raw material the release of order took place?

Goods issues before release of order is not possible in SAP.
You can think of following things.
1) In opj4,you can block release of order if it has missing parts.
2) By using 'user exit' it is possible to disallow confirmation if goods issues are not posted against each component.
