Definition
Most of the time, if you want to know whether vendor can be delivered according to our po requirements, you need vendor to confirm. Order acknowledgement is the function to maintain the validation information in the Po.
Of course, this information can be manually maintained or returned through the system with EDI's vendor.
Acknowledgement information includes
1. order acknowledgements
2. Loading or transport confirmations
3. Shipping notifications
Purpose
1. Use confirmation (confirmations) is more accurate than the quantity and delivery time information automatically generated based on MRP alone, and can also track the delivery status of (MONITOR) required materials
2. Once the order ack. function is enabled, by PO can receive goods only according to the confirmed quantity to better control the order.
3. You can confirm the order in multiple ways, that is, you can confirm the order delivery date in one step; or you can confirm the order + confirm the shipment
Which of the following methods is used to distinguish them through the confirmation control key?
The process flow
1. confirm the order + shipping notif.
The process is as follows.
The procedure is as follows:
1.1 confirm the order first
In the confirmations view of the created Po, set Conf. Control to 0001,
Select confirmation category (CC) as "AB" and enter the delivery date and other information.
1.2 set up shipping notif after the event is shipped.
Here, we provide two methods to establish SAP based on actual business needs.
1.2.1 In the confirmations view of the Po, select la for confirmation category (CC) and enter the time.
1.2.2 create inbound delivery
By Po, after inbound delivery is created, the line of La data will be automatically created in the Po.
1.3 gr
1.3.1 GR can only receive the number of confirmed instances. Of course, this configuration can be made based on confirmation category (CC) (later)
1.3.2 If inbound delivery is enabled, it can be received by inbound delivery or by po. If inbound delivery is not enabled, it can only be received by po.
2. directly perform shipping notif.
The difference between this method and the first method is that confirm is omitted.
2.1 Conf. Control select 0004
2.2 directly enter the data row of La or open inbound delivery
2.3 gr
3. Customize Configuration
This part of settings is not complex, mainly completed in the purchasing --> confirmation
Parameter description -- set up confirmation control
3.1 set the available confirmation category (cc)
3.2 whether it is related to MRP. If you select this option, it will affect MRP (for example, after inbound del. is done, pchord in md04 will become shipnt)
Whether the 3.3 By Po is received will also affect inbound delivery
3.4 whether the GR is split. This mainly affects the by po gr method. If you do not select by po GR, the total number of Po items is displayed instead of the number of delivery items.
Note:
1. conf. control key can be taken to PO through P-info or vendor, without entering every Po
