Run the Confirm purchase lines process to confirm all purchase lines of a purchase order at the same time. This is particularly useful if the purchase order contains multiple lines of which you want all (or almost all) to be confirmed. For example, if there are ten lines of which you want to confirm eight, confirm all lines using Confirm purchase lines, and then clear the Confirmed check box for the two lines you do not want to confirm.

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.
