Send Order Confirmation
Explanation
If you are using the EDI message function, you can send an order confirmation
message to the customer. You can use this function to re-send the customer order
confirmation message as well.
Prerequisites
- Basic data for the EDI message function must have been set up in IFS/Connectivity.
- You must have entered data for EDI for applicable customer in the
Customer/Message Setup.
The Method Default option must be enabled for the message.
- The customer order should have been created by processing an incoming
customer order.
System Effects
- The customer order confirmation is sent via EDI to the customer.
- If it is an internal customer order, the message sent will end up as
an incoming purchase order confirmation on the demand site. If the demand
site has the Execute Order Change Online option enabled,
the incoming purchase order confirmation is processed online on the demand
site. If automatic approval is enabled you will get an instant validation
and update on the demand site. This continues as far as possible in multiple
tiers of internal orders, if you have automatic replication. Without online
processing all this happens in background jobs.
