Use

If the customer in Extended Confirmation Management (EBM) sends a changed purchase order to SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC), SAP SNC sets the status of confirmation schedule lines that are no longer up-to-date to Closed . SAP SNC closes a confirmation schedule line if the request schedule line to which the confirmation schedule line belongs no longer exists or if the quantity or date of the request schedule line changes. If necessary, the supplier must create a new confirmation schedule line. SAP SNC does not display closed confirmations in the receipts/requirements list. Confirmations for unchanged purchase order schedule lines remain unchanged.

If you use confirmation requests (see Generation and Update of Confirmation Requests ), SAP SNC closes confirmation requests as well, provided that the associated request schedule line no longer exists or has changed. For a new or changed request schedule line, SAP SNC automatically generates a new confirmation request. This function is only relevant for certain confirmation request types.
