A purchase order can be confirmed by the supplier regarding prices, quantities, time of delivery etc. In case the supplier does not confirm the purchase order within a specified time period, you have the option to send a reminder that the order confirmation has not been received.
If use of reminder is specified directly on the order line this is only valid for this particular purchase order. The common use of the confirmation reminder is to set it up on the supplier in the Supplier/Purchase/Misc Supplier Info tab. A reminder for a purchase order can be sent as long as the order is in status Planned or Released.
Use the Purchase Order Confirmation Reminders to print and overview the confirmation reminder for the supplier. When the check box in the Reminder Due column is enabled, it is possible to print a confirmation reminder by using the Operations menu. Among other things, this window provides information about the time to send a reminder, last confirmation reminder date, and how many confirmation reminders that have been sent.
You can specify this when entering the order line. If you want to specify this on an already entered purchase order the order must to be in status Planned or Released.
The confirmation reminder function is indicated. If the supplier does not confirm the purchase order within a specified time period, you can print and send a reminder that the order confirmation has not been received.
