In this step, you assign an external confirmation category to each internal confirmation category.
On the basis of this assignment, the system is able to recognize which confirmation category represents order acknowledgments and which one represents shipping notifications, for example.
Internal confirmation categories control:
- Message processing when a confirmation is received via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
- Transactions for the manual creation of inbound deliveries and rough GRs
Three internal confirmation categories are supplied in the standard system:
- Category 1
Reflects the business process in which order acknowledgments are used - Category 2
Reflects the business process in which the shipping notification/inbound delivery is used - Category 3
Reflects the business process in which the rough goods receipt is used
You can assign an external confirmation category of your choice to each internal confirmation category. On the basis of this assignment, the system recognizes which confirmation category is used when order acknowledgments are received and which one is used when shipping notifications are received. This enables purchasing documents to be automatically updated with data from the relevant confirmations.
Example
You have assigned the internal confirmation category 2 (shipping notification/inbound delivery) to the external confirmation category LA (shipping notification). When an EDI message with the internal confirmation category 2 is received, the system recognizes that this is a shipping notification. It creates an inbound delivery and updates the confirmed quantities and dates in the confirmation overview of the purchasing document.
Requirements
Standard settings
Recommendation
Activities
Assign an external confirmation category to the internal confirmation categories.
Note
When you assign an external confirmation category to an internal confirmation category, the system recognizes which confirmation category is to be used when an order acknowledgment is received via EDI, for example.
If you do not assign an internal confirmation category to an external confirmation category, the latter merely informs the user which type of confirmation is involved.
Further notes
If you have set up confirmation control in a production system, you should not subsequently change the settings made. Changes to the Customizing settings can lead to data inconsistencies in your system (for example, faulty MRP-relevant quantities).
