    COGI is used to process failed goods movements after correcting errors, while CO1P is used to process predefined goods movements at a later time in batches.

    COGI is used to hold goods movements with errors until they are corrected, while CO1P holds goods movements that are configured to be processed later in batches as part of decoupled confirmation.

    Decoupled confirmation decouples the confirmation steps like goods receipt, backflush, and actual cost determination so they can be processed later. It is configured under IMG to define the time for confirmation processes.

    Di erence in COGI and CO1P

    I have been searching and reading all the documents regarding COGI and CO1P, to know why some goods
    movements are held in COGI, while some in CO1P. I would like to share my knowledge on where I started and
    ended in learning about these transactions. Hope this document will be nal stop if you are also searching
    for this topic.

    Have a look at this article to know the basics of this topic.

    Let us consider that auto goods movement is setup for con rmations of production orders in the below
    scenarios.

    Con rmation is saved but goods movements are failed?

    To nd out the reason for this we have to go to transaction code:

    COGI – Postprocessing of Error Records from Automatic Goods Movements

    As the name suggests, we can process failed goods movements from here after correcting the errors.

    Give the order number and execute


    For example, error here is due to de cit in stock of goods posted. Until stock is updated in the system this
    posting will be held in COGI, from where we can post the goods later.

    Now after updating the stock open COGI again, select the required line items and click on save to post the
    goods. If the con rmation details have to be changed double click on the line item or select the line item and
    click on change details button, and then post the goods by clicking on save button.

    How to con gure system to stop the con rmation process, when error occurs in Goods Movements?

    This can be con gured under the IMG node “De ne Con rmation Parameters”

    This indicator speci es that if you save a con rmation with goods movement errors (that is, back ushing or
    automatic goods receipt), then the system displays an error log before saving.

    Con rmation saved and no goods movements failed, still stock is not updated in production order?
    In this case you may have to go to transaction code:

    CO1P – Prede ned Con rmation Process

    As the name suggests, this is an already de ned step in con guration to process all goods movements of
    that day at later point of time. For example, to improve system performance all goods movements of an hour
    can be held and processed through CO1P in one go. This is setup in decoupled con rmation settings.

    Give the order number and execute

    Select the required line items and click on save to post the goods.

    What is decoupled con rmation? How can it be setup?

    To avoid the issues with response time of con rmation process, we can decouple the steps taking place
    during con rmation. Following are the processes which can be decoupled

    Automatic Goods Receipt


    Back ush
    Actual cost determination

    The execution time of above processes can be de ned under IMG node “De ne Time for Con rmation
    Processes”.

    Which means above three tasks can be con gured to be processed immediately at the time of con rmation
    itself or else later in background. This setup is known as decoupled con rmation.

    This process control key can be maintained under the node “Con rmation Parameters” for required order
    type.
    Then the goods movements related to this con rmation will be held in CO1P, until they are processed
    manually or by a background job.

    When the option “Later in Background Job” is selected, system saves the con rmation data in below tables :

    AFRP1 – Auto GR con rmation records


    AFRP2 – Back ush con rmation records
    AFRP3 – Actual costs con rmation records

    Stock is not updated against the order even after processing the entries from CO1P?

    In this case you may have to look into COGI, if there are any further errors which are to be resolved.

    Ex: Stock De cit, Authorization issue, Production order status etc.

    Why does system post entries sometimes into COGI and sometimes into CO1P?

    So coming to the point, if there are any errors due to which system is not able to post the goods movements
    then such items are held in COGI. On the other hand stock postings will be held in CO1P when con guration
    is prede ned as mentioned in above steps.

    There is one exception for this, when load on system is huge and if locks occur during the time of
    con rmation no error record is generated in COGI, but instead a request is generated for a later update
    because the system assumes that the lock is only temporary. These requests can be found in CO1P.

    What are the programs to run COGI, CO1P in background?

    CORUPROC, CORUAFWP and CORUAFW0 are the reports which can be scheduled in background, to clear
    the postings that are held in COGI/CO1P at regular intervals.

    But they have limitation when working with COGI entries, as these cannot be cleared until respective error is
    resolved. For example if the entry is due to stock de cit, then it cannot be cleared by these reports until
    stock is updated in system.

    All these entries are stored in table AFFW. At the start of any of above programs, a global lock is set for all
    entries in table AFFW as well as a global process lock for goods issue and goods receipt. So it is advisable,
    not to run these reports in parallel as it may lead to job cancellations. So maintain some time gap while
    scheduling the jobs with di erent reports. Also we can di erentiate the errors in table AFFW with error
    message numbers, if there is no error message number against a line item then it can be seen in CO1P.

    What are CO16N and COFC used for?

    CO16N – Postprocessing incorrect con rmations

    This transaction deals with failed con rmations, whereas COGI/COPI deals with failed goods movement.

    Con rmations with errors can arise if they were entered in one of the following ways:

    Upload from a PDC system (see Upload )


    Online entry ( Fast Entry or Mass Processing )
    Entry via BAPI interface
    Errors might be like Order does not exist, Order was locked, Order already con rmed etc.

    COFC – Postprocessing of con rmations with errors in calculation of actual costs

    The errors in cost calculations during con rmations will be updated in the Transaction COFC. So this is not
    related to posting of goods movements we discussed above.

    Dear Raghava,

    Recently i have a issue about back ushing in decoupling con rmation.

    Your blog helps me a lot to gure out the back ushing mechanism in SAP (especially the relations between
    CORUPROC/CORUAFWP/CORUAFW0 programs).

    On the other hand, is that possible to brie y explain how table AFRP2 work in SAP for back ushing in
    decoupling con rmation?

    BR
