Ariba Network- Order Confirmation for re-triggered Purchase Orders

[anuyak]

On our SAP S/4 HANA system, there were changes related to Finance which updated the FMBCS elements. These changes re-triggered the PO output messages for open POs and has updated as a new version in Ariba by Obsoleting the existing version. For these changed POs, suppliers need to create new Order Confirmation before proceeding with invoices.

Is there an option or default transaction rule to turn-off Order Confirmation for re-triggered or changed POs.

Hi Anuya,

You can set the confirmation control keys in the Change PO to NOT allow Order Confirmation. This will override the transaction rule in the SAP Business Network (assuming the transaction rule is allowing Order Confirmation).

Or just do not require the order confirmation in the transaction rules, as mentioned by Melissa. Suppliers would still be able to send the order confirmation for a Change PO, it will just not be required/mandatory.

Kind regards,
