In this routine you process Purchase order confirmation documents received from your suppliers through DI.
The only acceptable changes to a Purchase order confirmation are to Dispatch date, Quantity, Price, Weight and Volume.
This program can be run in batch or interactively (i.e. by pressing F2). If you run this program interactively, a panel is displayed for Purchase order confirmation documents that contain erroneous information. On this panel you can correct the information immediately. If no errors are found when you execute this job, the Purchase order in DC1 Distribution is updated with the information from the Purchase order confirmation.
Regardless of whether or not you run this program in batch or interactively, you can order a separate printout of those purchase order confirmations containing errors (i.e. purchase order confirmations that cannot be accepted by the system), and a separate printout for the purchase order confirmations not containing errors.
You can run a simulation of this program. This means all validation controls are performed, but the Purchase order in DC1 Distribution is not updated. This enables you to check that all the relevant parameters in DC1 Distribution are set properly before updating the Production files.
Function keys
| F2 | Press F2 to process this job interactively. If an order line contains an error, the line will be displayed on the panel. You are then permitted to accept the change as is, make changes to the delivery date, quantity, or price, skip the order line, or skip the order.
Note: To process a job interactively, the Interactive process field must be set to YES for your user profile in the User profile table. |

Retrieval rules
Set the following fields to YES or NO:
- Inc prv proc w error
- Set this field to YES if you want to process those Purchase order confirmation documents that contained errors during validation. Set it to NO if you do not want to include those documents that contain errors. Note: Those documents that contain errors remain in the system until you correct the errors or delete the documents.
- Simulation
- Indicate if you want to simulate this validation. This allows you to perform all validation controls for this selection, without updating the Purchase order files in DC1 Distribution.
- OK orders
- Indicate if you want to obtain a printout of all Purchase order confirmations that are error-free.
- Rejected orders
- Set this field to YES if you want to obtain a printout of all Purchase order confirmation documents that have been rejected during this validation. Otherwise set it to NO.
