Common COGI Errors & ResolutionsPosted by Senthil Kumar Akash Sampath in SAP ERP Manufacturing - Production Planning (SAP PP) on Jan 23, 2013 9:59:36 PM inShare Dear All, We often find questions related to Backflushing & COGI errors (Errors in Automatic Goods Movements during Confirmation entries). Let's recollect certain Basic details Goods movements can be created during the confirmation entry for the Production/Process order. Backflushing If you confirm an order / operation with components that have the Backflushing indicator set, the system automatically posts a goods issue for these components. For more information about the Backflushing indicator, refer to the end of this section. Automatic Goods Receipt If the control key of the operation being confirmed specifies automatic goods receipt, the system automatically posts the produced material to stock. Automatic goods receipt can also be activated by the production scheduling profile. o Automatic goods movements are not permitted for materials that require serial numbers. However, if an automatic goods movement is specified for a material that requires a serial number then an error record is written. This error record can be displayed using the reprocessing function but it cannot be posted. Error records for materials that require serial numbers must be deleted manually. The goods movement must then be executed manually in inventory management. Backflushing Indicator We can control backflushing in the following objects: Material master - Backflushing key (MRP2 view) The operations are copied from the routing used.Still.Basic data screen. if the material master stipulates that the work center should determine whether the material is backflushed. This is an attempt to prepare the list of Common errors seen in COGI and respective resolution actions. the system displays an error log before it saves a confirmation with incorrect goods movements.Goods movements indicator in the Error handling/logs area) you can define that. left behind after the batch job execution. Before you save the confirmation you have the option of correcting the incorrect goods movements. Routing . Work center . it is copied from there when you create a production order. This is only taken into account. we need a regular manual intervention to check to clear the residual errors using transactions COGI (or CO1P). for individual entry of confirmations.component overview. Correction when reprocessing o If you want to process incorrect goods movements at a later stage. Correction in the confirmation o In Customizing for Confirmations (OPK4 . during backflushing insufficient stock is available in the warehouse) then you can either process the incorrect goods movements directly in the confirmation transaction or separately using a reprocessing function. Work centers are assigned to a production order via the operations. irrespective of the indicators in the material master or work center. This indicator is always taken into account. . you can use the reprocessing function (COGI/CO1P) The table AFFW shows the list of Goods Movements with Errors from Confirmations We can clear many of the regular errors by setting up a batch job to run the program CORUPROC at defined frequency. You can change the indicator in the production order Incorrect Goods Movement If errors arise during a goods movement for certain reasons(for example. If the Backflushing indicator has been maintained in the master data. Kindly feel free to suggest changes / additions to the list.
