Assuming a PO can be confirmed,

Go to: Purchases / Purchase Management / Purchase Orders

  1. Open (in edit mode) the PO that you wish to confirm.
  2. Click on the “Delivery” tab of the PO and enter the “Delivery Confirmed Date” provided by the supplier.
  3. Transfer this “Delivery Confirmed Date” to all the lines of the PO via a click on the button “Apply to lines“. Then, on the pop up, click “Yes – all lines” if you wish to update all the PO lines or on “Yes – Selected lines” if you wish to apply it to pre-selected lines. Note that you may also enter a different delivery confirmed delivery date on each line of the PO if needed.
  4. Click on the “Confirm document” button at the bottom of the PO screen.
  5. A message will appear on the top of the screen informing that a Commitment Voucher has been created (except if supplier is ESC) and that the Reception (incoming shipment) is ready to be processed.

Note that if you try to confirm a PO which has been sent to an internal partner, you will receive a (non blocking) warning message. Confirmation should not be done manually but via synchronization. The PO will be confirmed automatically when the corresponding FO on the supplier side will be confirmed.
