 General Functions on the Confirmation Screen

Use

This section describes the functions that are available on the confirmation screen for processing all types of confirmations (scheduling agreement, purchase order, and location product confirmations).

Features

The following functions are available:

  • Undo entries

    If you want to get rid of the changes that you have made since calling the confirmation screen or since last saving, choose Undo . The system loads the data that was last saved.

  • Set To Be Saved As Draft status

    When you create a confirmation it has the status To Be Published by default. If you save a purchase order with this status, the purchase order receives the status Published and can be seen by the customer. However, if you do not want to publish the confirmation when saving, you can change the status from To Be Published to To Be Saved As Draft by choosing Draft Conf. The receipts/requirements list does not display scheduling agreement and purchase order confirmations with the status Draft . For more information, see Receipts and Requirements .

  • Save confirmations on the confirmation screen

    If you want to save new or changed confirmations on the confirmation screen, choose Save . The system saves all confirmations according to their status as follows: A confirmation with the status To Be Saved As Draft receives the status Draft , a confirmation with the status To Be Published received the status Published , and a confirmation with the status To Be Canceled receives the status Canceled .

  • Check confirmation

    SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) automatically validates the new or changed confirmations when you save them. To call the validation directly, choose Check . SAP SNC validates all new and changed confirmations on the confirmation screen. For each confirmation, SAP SNC uses the validation profile that corresponds to the confirmation status with which the confirmation is later to be saved. If, for example, the confirmation has the status To Be Published , SAP SNC uses validation profile SCN1 . If you have specified only the shipping date or only the delivery date, SAP SNC calculates the other date with the validation check SCONF_SCHEDULE . For more information, see Validation of Supplier Confirmations .

  • Cancel confirmation

    If you want to cancel a confirmation, select the confirmation and choose Cancel Conf. The purchase order acquires the status To Be Canceled . When you save the confirmation, the system response depends on the status of the confirmation that you want to delete as follows:

    • If you cancel a confirmation in Draft status, SAP SNC deletes the confirmation.

    • If the confirmation has a different status, the system does not delete the confirmation. The confirmation receives the status Canceled and can no longer be changed.

      SAP SNC does not display canceled scheduling agreement and purchase order confirmations in the receipts/requirements list.

  • Publish confirmation

    You use the Publish Conf. function for a confirmation that you have already saved as a draft and that you now want to publish. The function can therefore only be used for confirmations with the status Draft and not for confirmations with the status To Be Published . The function sets the status of the confirmation to To Be Published . When you next save, the confirmation receives the status Published .
