CO11N - Frequently Asked Questions

Overview:
CO11N is widely used transaction for doing confirmations. There are some common issues which we come
across while using CO11N during confirmations.This document gives an in sight on some common issues/
FAQ's related to CO11N transaction.

FAQ 1. Difference between CO11N and CO11

When you compare the single screen entry (Transaction CO11N) with the time ticket confirmation to date
(Transaction CO11), some differences result concerning the functions. Refer 319232 - CO11N: Missing
functions compared to CO11 for more details.

FAQ 2. Created a batch input folder for the CO11N and run it in the background. In the process a short
dump of the RAISE_EXCEPTION type occurs.

This issue will happen if the confirmation profile used in the batch input contains detail areas 'Confirmation text'
or 'Serial number assignment'. Refer 540734 - FAQ: Single screen entry of confirmations (CO11N) for more
details.

FAQ 3. Want to use own screens/subscreens in Transaction CO11N. How can I include these in a
confirmation profile?

We can use a maximum of three customer-specific subscreens in a confirmation profile. For this purpose you
must create screens 0900, 0910 and 0920 in function group XCOF. These screens can include user-defined
fields or a subscreen area, on which there is a screen from a customer-specific function group. In addition you
have to activate customer exit CONFPP07.

FAQ 4. Although I activated and implemented customer exit 'CONF0001' (Order confirmation:
Deactivate functions), the deactivated functions are still active after the call of Transaction CO11N (for
example pushbutton 'Actual data').

Customer exit 'CONF0001' does not run for the CO11N. The interface status is predefined and thus cannot be
changed by a customer exit.

FAQ 5. During the confirmation cancellation, goods movements "disappear". They are neither posted
successfully nor are they in transaction COGI under the incorrect goods movements. How can I find
the goods movements?

Goods movements of the cancellation are always executed in the update program. If there are locks, no error
record is generated, but instead a request is generated for a later update because the system assumes that
