You can use this informational field to indicate whether your supplier has confirmed the purchase line.This enables you to:

• Ensure that a supplier keeps to the agreements
• Inform your organization of the progress of the purchasing process

Confirming purchase orders or lines merely serves an informational purpose and does not affect the purchasing process.

Consequences for receipt schedule when confirming purchase lines for parts

If you have not added any additional receipt lines to the receipt schedule and then confirm a purchase line for parts (either manually or using the Confirm purchase lines process), the receipt line is automatically confirmed as well. If you do not want this to happen, you can clear the Confirmed check box on the receipt line.

If you did add receipt lines to the receipt schedule of a purchase line, the receipt lines will not automatically be confirmed when the purchase line is confirmed. They will be confirmed automatically, however, if you select the Confirm purchase receipt schedule check box on the Confirm purchase lines processing form.

Consequences for purchase order confirmation when confirming receipt lines

If you have confirmed all receipt lines individually, the Confirmed check box on the Progress tab of the parent purchase line will be selected automatically. If you then remove the confirmation from all receipt lines, the Confirmed check box on the Progress tab of the purchase line will be cleared as well.

This field always shows the original receipt date agreed with the supplier. If the supplier has informed you that he will not be able to meet the requested receipt date, and you then agree to a later receipt date, you will change the value of the Receipt date field on the General tab. The Original receipt date will continue to show the original requested receipt date, however.

This field indicates how many parts you have received.

This field shows the quantity received (in stock units).

This check box is selected if the receipt lines for this purchase have been processed in the Goods Receipt module, and you have indicated that no more items will be received.

To select the check box in the Purchase module, use the Confirm receipt process. To undo the confirmation, use the Unconfirm receipt process.

This check box is selected if the receipt lines for this purchase have been processed in the Goods Receipt module, and you have indicated that no more items will be received.You cannot modify the field. If the check box is selected, the sum of commitments has been reversed (the journal entry for commitments is created when the purchase order is created). This is done only once.

If more receipts need to be registered after confirmation, for example because of an unexpected delivery, undo the logistic confirmation (the Complete check box in the Receipt section), and register the receipt of the delivery. All receipts posted after the purchase order line has been reported as financially complete, will be posted as price differences.

When a purchase order is created, the sum specified in the Commitment/Goods to receive field will be posted to the Commitment/Goods to receive accounts. When the receipt is registered, a contra entry is made for the sum.

Isah takes into account the quantities received.

When the receipt is registered, this sum is posted to the Purchase invoices to receive account. The sum depends on the quantity received.

This field shows the quantity already invoiced.

This check box is selected if you indicated that this was the last invoice at the time you processed the purchase invoice line.
