confirmation

Logistics - General (LO)

Information from the vendor to the recipient about the status of the purchase order.

The term confirmation covers different types of information from the vendor to the customer, such as order, loading or transportation confirmation and the shipping notification.

If materials planning takes place without a confirmation, planning can only be based on the delivery dates and quantities in the purchase order. In contrast, confirmations make it possible for the customer to plan the materials more precisely because between the purchase order and planned delivery date, more reliable information has become available.

Treasury Management (TR-TM)

After concluding a financial transaction, a confirmation of the related contract data is sent to the relevant business partner. Confirmations can be printed or sent electronically directly from the R/3 System. Confirmation forms are defined via the correspondence type.

Project System (PS)

A confirmation is a part of network control. It documents the state of processing for network activities and activity elements. There are two types of confirmations in the R/3 System: partial and final confirmations.

A confirmation is used to record:

• the work center where the activity was carried out

• the person who carried out the activity

• the yield and scrap produced in an activity

• the actual values for the standard times

Logistics - General (LO)

Communication sent by a vendor to a customer regarding the status of a purchase order.

The term "confirmation" (short for "vendor confirmation") is an umbrella term for various types of information provided by a vendor to a customer, including order acknowledgments, loading or transport confirmations and shipping notifications.

If the customer's materials planning and inventory control system does not work with confirmations, it can only refer to the delivery dates and quantities set out in the purchase order. The use of confirmations, on the other hand, makes the materials planning and inventory control process more precise, since between the PO date and the planned delivery date the customer receives increasingly reliable information about the pending arrival of ordered goods.

Logistics - General (LO)

Part of order monitoring, this documents the processing status of operations or sub-operations. In the SAP System, a distinction is made between partial and final confirmations.

A final confirmation is used to determine

• at which work center the operation should be carried out

• who has carried out the operation

• the quantities of yield and scrap quantities that have been produced

• the size of the standard values required for the actual operation

Receiving (ECO-BBP-REC)

An electronic document that combines the functions of goods receipts and service entry sheets. By creating a confirmation:

• Vendors can confirm that they have fulfilled their orders

• Employees can confirm the goods and services they ordered via their shopping baskets

• Central goods recipients can confirm the goods and services ordered by employees for whom they are responsible
