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.

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 shows how many of the components to be processed externally have been sent to the supplier.

This check box is selected if, at the time the components for this external operation were shipped, you indicated that all components for this external operation had been shipped (Last shipment check box) and the shipping line is processed.

This field shows the number of externally processed components returned by the supplier.

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.

This field shows the number of processed components or parts that have already been invoiced.

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

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.

When the receipt is registered, this sum is posted to the Purchase invoices to receive account.
