Monitoring Vendor Confirmations
Use
The confirmation monitoring facility enables you to check whether the expected confirmations have been received and whether the delivery quantities and dates are as you requested. The list analyses that are available for monitoring purposes provide you at all times with an overview of the status of your purchase orders and their influence on materials planning and control.
Prerequisites
_ Analyses are only possible for items having a confirmation control key.
_ You can specify the deadline for receipt of confirmations for each confirmation category in
Customizing for Purchasing (Confirmations _ Set up confirmation control under Confirmation
sequence.)
You can specify in Customizing that you wish to see the following in the monitoring list,
for example:
_ Which order acknowledgments have still not been received a certain number of days
after the PO date
_ Which shipping notifications have still not been received a certain number of days before
the delivery date
Activities
To monitor vendor confirmations, choose <Purchasing document> ___Reporting___Monitor
confirmations.
Order Acknowledgment Expediters
Use
You can send messages to vendors urging them to submit outstanding order acknowledgments.
You cannot issue such messages with respect to other vendor confirmation categories.
Prerequisites
A prerequisite is that the Acknowledgment requirement indicator has been set in each relevant
PO or scheduling agreement item.
Activities
<b>Choose <Purchasing document> _ Messages _ Monitor order acknowledgment</b>.
If the indicator has been set, the system proceeds as follows when the reminder program is run:
It checks whether the confirmation control key has been set:
1. If it has not, it checks whether the acknowledgment number has been entered. If there is
no such number, a message urging the vendor to submit the overdue acknowledgment is
issued.
2. If it has, the sum of the quantities from all previous order acknowledgments is calculated.
If the result is less than the order quantity, an urging message (expediter) is issued.
Creating a PO or Outl. Agreement w. Acknowl. Reqt.
1. Create a purchase order or an outline purchase agreement and maintain the items.
2. Select the item to be acknowledged by the vendor and enter a confirmation control key in the
Deadline monitoring area of the item detail screen.
If the confirmation control key provides for the submission of order acknowledgments by
the vendor, and you wish to urge the latter to do so in the event that they are still
outstanding after a certain period of time, set the Acknowledgment requirement indicator.
3. Save the purchase order.
If you wish to work exclusively with order acknowledgments (i.e. without using a
confirmation control key), your only option is to set this indicator. You need not make
any other entries.
Monitoring Confirmations
Monitoring Confirmations in PO or Outline Agreement
1. Select the item for which you wish to see the accumulated confirmations and choose Item _
Confirmations _ Lists.
2. Then branch to one of the following lists:
Quantities relevant to MRP
Quantities that have been reduced/offset with regard to MRP
Cumulative quantities
A line from a PO delivery schedule covering 100 tons of steel is reduced to zero as a
result of the relevant order acknowledgment for 100 tons. The subsequent inbound
delivery of 100 tons in turn reduces the order acknowledgment quantity to zero, and,
finally, the GR of 100 tons completely offsets the inbound-delivery quantity.
Monitoring Several POs or Outline Agreements
1. Choose Purchase order _ Reporting _ Monitor confirmations.
2. Specify an interval of purchase orders and enter the category of confirmations to be
monitored (for example, AB for order acknowledgment).
3. Choose Program _ Execute.
You obtain a list of all variant quantities and delivery dates.
Manual Maintenance of Confirmations
1. Change the purchase order or scheduling agreement.
2. Select the item for which you wish to enter a confirmation and choose Item _
Confirmations _ Overview.
3. On the confirmation overview screen, maintain the confirmation category, date, time-spot,
and quantity, as well as the confirmation number used by the vendor.
You can also receive a confirmation with respect to a material with a manufacturer part
number (MPN). For more on this topic, refer to Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) [Page
452]).
If you work exclusively with order acknowledgments (i.e. without using a confirmation
control key), enter the acknowledgment number on the item detail screen. This
number can be any identifier customarily used in your enterprise (e.g. the date of the
order acknowledgment or an external document number).
If you wish to enter the same number for each item, choose Edit _ Fast change.
Quantity Checks
_ If a vendor notifies a quantity that is greater than the still-open notified quantity, the system
issues a warning message.
_ If the cumulative quantity from all inbound deliveries relating to a PO item exceeds the order
quantity (taking the overdelivery tolerance into account), the system issues a warning
message.
This warning can also be defined as an error message on a user-specific basis.
_ If the cumulative notified quantity is less than the quantity already delivered, a warning
message is issued.
Depending on your settings in Customizing, an indicator showing whether or not the data in the
confirmation is used in materials planning is set in column D. If the indicator has not been set, the
data is for information only.
In column E, you can see whether the confirmation was entered manually in the PO (1), or
generated automatically upon entry of a shipping notification using the function Create inbound
delivery (2).
Creating Inbound Delivery Against Shipping Notif.
1. Choose Purchase order _ Inbound delivery _ Create.
2. On the initial screen, enter the vendor, the delivery date and the PO number. You also have
the option of entering a transport identification code (e.g. a vehicle registration number). In
this way, deliveries for several purchase orders can be grouped together.
If you do not know the PO number, choose Inbound delivery _ Select purchase orders
and enter selection criteria.
Choose Program _ Execute.
You obtain a list of the purchase orders from the specified number interval that contain
still-open notified quantities.
Select the relevant purchase orders and choose Adopt selected.
3. Press ENTER. The overview screen with the suggested quantities appears.
The default quantity is taken from the PO item. However, you can overwrite this
suggested quantity and enter a different unit of measure. In order for this to be possible,
the desired unit must be defined as an alternative unit of measure in the material master
record with the appropriate conversion factor.
All quantities (e.g. the notified quantity) are converted into the order unit and recorded in
the purchase order by the system.
You have a PO for 100 tons of Steel 1, and the vendor sends you a shipping
notification for 5 crates. You wish to enter the inbound delivery in the unit of
measure crate. The system checks whether the alternative unit of measure can be
converted into the order unit. If so, you can save the inbound delivery in the
alternative unit.
A batch split can be made in the inbound delivery, which is taken into account in the
confirmation overview for the purchase order and at the time of goods receipt. If the
batch split is to be taken into account at the time of goods receipt, the confirmation
category Inbound delivery must be confirmation-related (GR assignment indicator).
4. Check the data and make any necessary changes.
5. Save the document.
After this, the confirmation overview is updated in the relevant purchase orders.
