Preliminary note
Once you have set up the confirmation control facility in a production system, you should not make any changes to the relevant settings. Changes to the Customiz settings can lead to data inconsistencies in your system (e.g. incorrect MRP-relevant quantities).
In this step, you define confirmation control keys and specify the confirmation sequence.
- Confirmation control key
For PO items in respect of which confirmations are to be used, a confirmation key must be assigned.Example
You can define a confirmation control key with just one confirmation category (e.g. shipping notification) and a confirmation control key covering several confirmation categories (order acknowledgment, loading confirmation, shipping notification).
- Confirmation sequence
With the confirmation sequence, you can specify the order in which the individual confirmations defined in a confirmation control key are expected and which confirmation categories are to be automatically monitored.
In addition, you can specify for all confirmation categories whether they are for your information only or are also to be relevant to Materials Planning and Goods Receiving.
Requirements
Standard settings
Recommendation
Activities
- Define the desired confirmation categories within a confirmation control key.
- Specify the confirmation sequence for the desired confirmation control keys and specify which confirmation categories are relevant to Materials Planning and Goods Receiving.
- Specify the monitoring period In the Monitoring Period column and choose the relevant reference date:
- PO date plus monitoring period
- Delivery date minus monitoring period
Example
If you enter the value '10' in the Monitoring Period column and 'delivery date minus monitoring period' in the Reference Date column, the system will select all items that have not yet been acknowledged or confirmed 10 days prior to the delivery date in the purchase order.
The items concerned are shown with the date in confirmation monitoring in Purchasing analyses.
