Reduction is triggered by the following actions: Confirming completion Selecting the TECO (Technical Complete) status on the order Selecting the Locked status to lock an order Selecting the Deletion checkbox Confirmation is a step in production execution used to formally acknowledge in SAP S/4HANA that a specific operation of a production order or process order has been pro­cessed. The confirmation is managed by fulfilling the actual values of the quantity pro­duced, quantity consumed, scrap, labor hours, and so on of each operation. When the oper­ations are finally confirmed, the remaining capacity requirements are immediately set to zero, meaning that the step is completed.
