Purchase order confirmation (DMR52501)

Related topics

In this program you confirm the purchase order lines that have been checked off on the purchase order list printout by the supplier. If the supplier cannot deliver the entire quantity on the dispatch date for the purchase order line, you can split any applicable line that is not a BtB order line (i.e. enter the new dispatch date and quantity denoting when the quantity can be delivered, which will create a new line). The original quantity on the original line will be reduced with the quantity that was split.

Order number
Enter the number of the purchase order that you want to update as confirmed.

Purchase order confirmation (DMR52502)

Related topics

This panel displays the lines on the purchase order, including any that were created in this program via the Split option.

The following header information can be changed:

  • Order reference
  • Dispatch date

In addition, you can change the following information in the columns on this panel or by clicking the Change option for a line to access the details: Dispatch date, Quantity, Price, Price unit, and OK for each item line. If any of the fields mentioned are changed, then the system interprets it as the line is confirmed from the supplier. If the OK column is set to YES for a line, then the line is confirmed to be delivered exactly according to the order (i.e. no fields are changed).

It is also possible to go back to the original order to make changes and/or add information at both header and detail level (Maintain order function).
