Functionality
With this method actual data can be copied as time eventconfirmations to operations in production orders.
The time event confirmations are only marked for further processing,which means that check of the transferred actual data and saving the dat
a in the AFRU confirmation table takes place in a subsequent step. Thiscould be, for instance, using program CORUPROC1 in a periodicallyrecurring batch job. Alternatively in Customizing of Plant data capt
ure you can set the Immediate update indicator in theDefine communication parameters for production orders so that theprocessing of transferred data is started on immediately after the datatransfer.
As well as the actual data for the confirmation, the actual data for thegoods movement that are posted together with a confirmation can betransferred. If no goods movements have been entered for a confirmation,the system determines items for backflushing and automaticgoods receipt automatically, when it continues processing theconfirmation.

Notes
Parameter

• Return

If the system could not post the confirmations, due to a serious error,it gives you information about the errors in the Returnparameter.

• Timetickets

The data of the confirmation time tickets are transferred in theTimeevents table.

• Goodsmovements

If goods movements are to be posted differently to the standard logic,these goods movements can be transferred in the Goodsmovementstable.

• LinkConfGoodsmov

The assignment of goods movements to a confirmation is via theLinkConfGoodsmov table. Each entry in the Goodsmovementstable requires an entry in this table, whereby the index in theLinkConfGoodsmov-Index_Confirm field refers to the line of thecorresponding confirmation in the Timetickets table and the indexin the LinkConfGoodsmov-Index_Goodsmov table to the correspondinggoods movement in theGoodsmovements table.
If you want to prevent the use of the standard logic to post a goodsmovement for a confirmation, you should make an entry in the tableLinkConfGoodsmov in which the index in the fieldLinkConfGoodsmov-Index_Confirm refers to the row of the relatedconfirmation in the table Timetickets. This is in addition to theconfirmation in table Timetickets. In the fieldLinkConfGoodsmov-Index_Goodsmov you should enter the initialvalue 0. In this case, it is not necessary to make an entry in the tableGoodsmovements.
If there is no entry in the LinkConfGoodsmov table, the goodsmovements for backflushing and for the automatic goods movements aredetermined using a SAP standard method.

Description
The Return parameter is only used for serious errors that prevent allconfirmations from being processed further. As a rule, this type oferror only occurs if the transferred confirmation data cannot beconverted into the internal structures, because conventions regardingdata definitions have not been adhered to.
The Return parameter's structure contains all the necessaryinformation about the error in detail. This is also prepared in themessage text MESSAGE.

Default
If no serious error is found, the return parameter is returned withinitial values.

Description
Goods movements that should be posted as the result of a confirmation.
Automatic goods movements can be posted with a confirmation. One formof this is backflushing of components and the other isautomatic goods receipt posting for an assembly. If this data isadded to or corrected, the goods movement data can be transferred viathe Goodsmovements table. The assignment of goods movements toconfirmations occurs via the other parameter table LinkConfGoodsmov
.
If at least one goods movement is assigned to a confirmation, noautomatic goods movements are determined for a confirmation when it issaved. That is, the goods movements that are transferred cannot beregarded as supplementary to the goods movements that are automaticallyposted. Rather, the goods movements that are transferred representreplacement items for the goods movements that are automaticallyposted.

Description
Each individual goods movement item is assigned to a confirmation viathe parameter table LinkConfGoodsmov. Items that are notassigned to a confirmation cannot be taken into account when theconfirmation is saved.
Assignment occurs via the IndexConfirm and IndexGoodsmovindices. For this process the IndexConfirm index has to refer tothe entry in the parameter table Timetickets and theIndexGoodsmov index has to refer to the entry in the parametertable Goodsmovements.
As a rule, therefore, the total number of entries in theLinkConfGoodsmov table corresponds to the total number ofentries in the Goodsmovements table.
Exception: You want to prevent goods movements from being automaticallydetermined for a confirmation, because, as an exception, none havearisen. This can be achieved by making an entry in theLinkConfGoodsmov table, without an entry having to be made inthe Goodsmovements table. In this case, the index in theIndexConfirm field has to refer to the confirmation in question,whereas the initial value 0 has to be entered in theIndexGoodsmov field.

Description
Table of confirmations to be entered, as time tickets.
You can identify the confirmed operation by entering theconfirmation number in the CONF_NO field. Alternatively, you canidentify the operation by entering the order, sequence and operation,and if necessary the sub-operation, in the ORDERID, SEQUENCE
, OPERATION and SUB_OPER fields.
If an individual capacity is being confirmed, you can identify theindividual capacity with the help of the CAPA_CATEGORY andSPLIT fields, in addition to entering the operation.
Each entry in the Timetickets table represents a separateconfirmation that is checked and processed in the sequence in which itis transferred.
