Order Confirmation
Use
It is possible that a buyer is only aware of a part exchange, whereby the supersession part ordered is replaced by a superseding part, upon receipt of the order confirmation from the supplier.
Prerequisites
If you receive confirmations over an EDI connection, the IDoc interface must be set up. The IDoc type is called PURCHG and replaces the standard IDoc ORDRSP.
Features
In order to confirm the order using the standard function, you must update the purchase order using the sub-item logic described previously.
If the order confirmation is sent using EDI, a new function enables the automatic update of the purchase order. The system can then confirm the order.
