A purchase order can be confirmed by the supplier regarding prices, quantities, time of delivery, etc. In case the supplier does not confirm the purchase order within a specified time period, you have the option to send a reminder that the order confirmation has not been received.
A reminder created directly upon entry of the order line is only valid for a particular purchase order. A reminder for a purchase order can be sent as long as the order is in status Planned or Released.
Use Purchase Order Confirmation Reminders to print and overview the confirmation reminder for the supplier. The Reminder Due option will get enabled when it is the time to print the confirmation reminder and the time is decided from the values you have defined for the Days Before Delivery and Order Confirmation Reminder Intervals fields in the Supplier/Purchase/Purchase tab. When the Reminder Due column indicates Yes, it is possible to print a confirmation reminder. Among other things, this page provides information about the time to send a reminder, the last confirmation reminder date, and how many confirmation reminders have been sent.
However, sometimes you need to print a reminder earlier than specified. Use Reset Order Confirmation Reminder Data command and the Reminder Due option will be enabled, provided a reminder is due to be printed according to the value of the Days Before Delivery parameter compared to the Planned Delivery Date of the order. You can now print out a confirmation reminder.
