Overview
Process Order Confirmation is used to record the actual execution of a process order (phases/operations completed, quantities produced, activities consumed, and goods movements). The most commonly used transaction is COR6N (Single Screen Entry).
Prerequisites
- Process Order is already created and Released (COR1)
- Components are available (or backflush is active)
- Authorization for confirmation transactions
- Understanding of the phases/operations in the order
Step-by-Step Process (COR6N)
1
Enter Transaction Code
Go to transaction COR6N (Process Order Confirmation – Single Screen) and press Enter.
2
Enter Process Order
- Enter the Process Order number
- Press Enter
- The system displays the order header and open phases/operations
3
Select Phase / Operation to Confirm
- Select the phase or operation you want to confirm
- You can confirm one phase at a time or multiple (depending on settings)
4
Enter Confirmation Data
- Yield – Quantity of good material produced
- Scrap – Quantity of scrap (if any)
- Rework – Quantity to be reworked (if applicable)
- Activity Times – Machine time, Labor time, Setup time, etc. (if required)
- Personnel Number / Resource (optional)
- Posting Date – Date of confirmation
5
Goods Movements (Automatic or Manual)
- If Backflush is active → Components are automatically issued
- If Auto GR is active → Finished product is automatically received
- Otherwise, you can go to the Goods Movements tab and post GI/GR manually
6
Save the Confirmation
Click the Save button (or press Ctrl + S).
The system:
- Updates the Process Order with confirmed quantities
- Posts goods movements (if applicable)
- Updates costs and activity consumption
- Changes the status of the phase/order
Quick Process Flow
COR6N → Enter Process Order → Select Phase → Enter Yield / Scrap / Activities → Save

Related Transaction Codes
| T-Code | Description |
|---|---|
| COR6N | Process Order Confirmation (Single Screen) |
| CORK | Process Order Confirmation (Header Level) |
| COR2 | Change Process Order |
| COR3 | Display Process Order |
| COOISPI | Process Order Information System |
| COGI | Reprocess Goods Movement Errors |
| COFC | Reprocess Confirmation Errors |

Important:
- If goods movements fail during confirmation, they appear in COGI for reprocessing.
- Final confirmation usually sets the phase/order status to CNF (Confirmed) or PCNF (Partially Confirmed).
- After all phases are confirmed and GR is done, the order can be settled using CO88.
Helpful Tips
- Prefer COR6N – it is user-friendly and shows all key data on one screen.
- Always check the Yield quantity carefully – it drives Goods Receipt and costing.
- If components are not backflushed, post Goods Issue separately using MIGO before or after confirmation.
- Use “Final Confirmation” indicator when the phase is completely finished.
- You can cancel a confirmation using transaction CORS or from the order itself.
- Monitor open confirmations and errors regularly via COOISPI and COGI.
