SAP PO EDI Vendor confirmation LA

[former_member809595]

Hi Folks,

Business requirement is to receive confirmations from the vendor via EDI and perform update in the PO.

Confirmation Category:

1) AB - for ORDER CONF

2) LA - for ASN

I would just like the PO confirmations tab to get updated with AB and LA. (without any delivery creations)

When I use basic type ORDERS05 and message type ORDRSP, I am able to successfully add AB.

However, I am not able to add LA.

What basic type/message type do i use for it? AND what data to I specify in it so LA will be added to the PO.

Thanks a bunch for your help in advance.

For Internal confirmation categories, delivery type EL was assigned.

Confirmation control Z001 was created with AB & LA without the GR-Relevant flag.

Used basic type ORDERS05/MESSAGE TYPE ORDRSP for adding AB.

Used basic type DELVRY07 / MESSAGE TYPE DESADV for creating inbound delivery that resulted in LA getting added to PO. (automatically.

Hi,

In that case you can go for Z confirmation control key.

Because LA is for Inbound delivery as per SAP standard.

Thanks,

Thanks for your response Amruta.

I can create a Z confirmation control key, and have one entry for AB and one entry for LA. Behind the scenes, AB uses internal confirmation category of 1 (order acknowledgement) and LA uses internal confirmation category 2 (Shipping notification). Issue arises because this setting causes the PO to have an inbound delivery in order for LA to be set in the PO.

I would like LA to behave in a similar way to AB without requiring an inbound delivery. Having an inbound delivery for LA would result in process change.
