Validation in Purchase Order Collaboration

SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) performs a standard validation for purchase orders (POs) 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	Notes
SAP SNC receives a PO from the customer back-end system.	REPLORDER	POC1	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. In the POC8 and POC9 validation profiles, the validation checks for subcontracting components are not active.
The supplier saves a PO confirmation using the Save function on the Web screens for POs.	ORDERCONF_SAVE	POC2	None
The supplier publishes a PO confirmation using the Publish function on the Web screens for POs.	ORDERCONF_PUBLISH	POC3	None
SAP SNC receives a PO confirmation from the supplier back-end system.	REPLORDER_CONFIRMATION	POC5	See note for the REPLORDER process
When an ASN referring to a PO item arrives, SAP SNC creates an ASN-Confirmed schedule line for the PO item or updates an existing ASN-Confirmed schedule line.	ORDER_DELIVERYUPDATE	POC4	None
After the supplier has successfully saved a PO confirmation with the status Published on the confirmation screen of Extended Confirmation Management (ECM), SAP SNC copies the confirmation schedule lines to the purchase order and updates the confirmation status of the PO.	ORDERSCON_SAVE	POCS	For more information, see Processing of SA and PO Confirmations on the Confirmation Screen.
The supplier publishes a purchase order on the ECM confirmation screen.	ORDERSCON_PUBLISH	POC3	For more information, see Processing of SA and PO Confirmations on the Confirmation Screen.
The customer publishes a purchase order on the Web UI after manually approving/rejecting confirmation data.	ORDERCHANGE_PUBLISH	POC6
The system updates the purchase order according to the data that the customer and supplier have agreed upon in a work order.	ORDER_WORKORDERAGREE	POC7
