2913800 - Order with status TECO allows you to post confirmations

Symptom

After setting the status Technical Completed (TECO) to a production order, it is still possible to post confirmations to the order.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Confirm Production Order Operation app
  2. Make a confirmation for an order with the status TECO
  3. The system will allow the confirmation

Cause

This is a standard system behavior.

Technical completion means ending a production order from a logistical viewpoint.

The following actions are executed if an order is set to Technically complete:

  • The order is not relevant for MRP planning

  • Reservations are deleted

  • Capacity requirements are deleted

  • Purchase requisitions for external operations or non-stock materials are deleted

  • The order and its operations receive the system status Technically Completed (TECO)

After technical completion you can still make postings for the order. For instance, material withdrawal or a confirmation can be posted if they were previously forgotten.

For more details, please take a look at the SAP Help: Technical Completion of a Production Order

Resolution

If you want to block goods movements for TECO production orders, please use the Business Transaction Control function. You can refer to the example in this Help Page for more details.
