Confirm Purchase Order with Differences

Explanation

When the purchase order is printed and sent to the supplier for confirmation, the supplier either confirms that he will be able to deliver according to your purchase order or confirms the purchase order with differences.

By using this function, you can confirm a purchase order and also enter the supplier's modifications without creating a new purchase order revision. Even if the order was previously printed, a new revision is not generated. In the dialog box for confirmation of a purchase order with differences, you can update purchase information. You also can decide not to perform any changes in the dialog box by simply clicking OK.

Yet another possibility is to receive a purchase order confirmation via EDI or MHS. If you have set automatic approval for the EDI/MHS messages from the supplier, the purchase order will be confirmed automatically once the message has been received, i.e., the status of the purchase order changes to Confirmed. Otherwise, you have to manually approve the confirmation in the Incoming Purchase Order Confirmation window.
