Validation in Purchase Order Collaboration 

Use

SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) performs a standard validation for purchase orders in purchase order collaboration. The following table provides an overview of the processes in which SAP SNC executes validation, and the standard validation profiles that SAP SNC uses for these processes.

 

Processes and Profiles for the Validation of Purchase Orders

Process	Technical Process Name	Validation Profile
SAP SNC receives a purchase order (ReplenishmentOrderNotification) from the customer back-end system.	REPLORDER	POC1 1)
The supplier uses the Save function on the Web screens for purchase orders.	ORDERCONF_SAVE	POC2
The supplier uses the Publish function on the Web screens for purchase orders.	ORDERCONF_PUBLISH	POC3
When an ASN referring to a specific purchase order item arrives, SAP SNC creates an ASN-Confirmed schedule line for the purchase order item or updates an existing ASN-Confirmed schedule line.	ORDER_DELIVERYUPDATE	POC4
SAP SNC receives a purchase order confirmation (ReplenishmentOrderConfirmation) from the supplier back-end system.	REPLORDER_CONFIRMATION	POC5 2)

^{1), 2)} In the standard system, the validation checks for subcontracting components are active in the POC1 and POC5 validation profiles. If you do not use subcontracting components or you do not want to validate subcontract orders, you can use the POC8 validation profile instead of the POC1 validation profile, and the POC9 validation profile instead of the POC5 validation profile. Unlike the POC1 and POC5 validation profiles, the validation checks for subcontracting components are not active in the POC8 and POC9 validation profiles.
