Monitoring Vendor Confirmations

Use

The confirmation monitoring facility enables you to check whether the expected confirmations have been received and whether the delivery quantities and dates are as you requested. The list analyses that are available for monitoring purposes provide you at all times with an overview of the status of your purchase orders and their influence on materials planning and control.

Prerequisites

Analyses are only possible for items having a confirmation control key.

You can specify the deadline for receipt of confirmations for each confirmation category in Customizing for Purchasing (Confirmations ® Set up confirmation control under Confirmation sequence.)

You can specify in Customizing that you wish to see the following in the monitoring list, for example:

- Which order acknowledgments have still not been received a certain number of days after the PO date

- Which shipping notifications have still not been received a certain number of days before the delivery date

Activities

To monitor vendor confirmations, choose <Purchasing document> ® Reporting ® Monitor confirmations.
