Documentation

Use

You can assign an external confirmation category to each internal confirmation category. On the basis of this assignment, the system recognizes which confirmation category stands for order acknowledgments and which for shipping notifications.

This enables purchasing documents to be updated automatically when a vendor confirmation is received via EDI.

Examples

If you assign shipping notifications to the internal confirmation category 2 (shipping notification/inbound delivery), the system will update the confirmed quantities and dates in the confirmation overview of the purchasing document when a shipping notification is received via EDI.

Dependencies

Irrespective of the foregoing, you can also enter confirmations manually.
