Request Changes to Confirm Purchase Order Line
Explanation
Use this activity when you as a B2B supplier wants to request changes on purchase order lines placed for you. It
is possible to request changes of quantity, price, discount and delivery date for purchase orders lines that are
not fully received/arrived at company’s site. In addition, you can add notes to the line.
Note:
- External service orders and orders containing rental are excluded from confirmation.
- This action is only available for one purchase order line at a time, even though multi-selection is enabled
in the page.
Prerequisites
- This activity is only applicable for the Supplier Self-service solution (B2B).
- In the Supplier page, the B2B option must be selected for the appropriate supplier.
- The option Allow Confirm Order with Differences must be selected in Supplier/Purchase tab.
- Only Purchase Order lines for the user’s default supplier, set up in B2B User – Supplier
page, are presented for confirmation.
- Only Released Purchase Order Lines that are not fully received/arrived, are possible to confirm with
changes.
- The purchase order line should not have any pending changes; i.e. there should not be any open Incoming
Purchase Order Confirmation message or open Purchase Order Change Order (POCO) associated with the purchase order
line.
System Effects
When you change values of a line, e.g. price, quantity, an Incoming Purchase Order Confirmation message will be
sent after submitting the changes. Once the request is approved by the company, it will update the purchase order
line accordingly and update the status to Confirmed if previous status is Released. However, order
lines for which you don’t change any value, the status will immediately be updated to Confirmed if
previous status is Released.
