Working with Purchase Order Confirmations

You enter a scrap posting if it is not possible to use a material any longer, for example, because it has been damaged or because its minimum shelf life has been exceeded. Scrapping is possible from each of the three stock types and is entered as a GI without a reference.

The following movement types are defined for scrapping:

• 551: Withdrawal for scrapping from unrestricted-use stock
• 553: Withdrawal for scrapping from stock in quality inspection
• 555: Withdrawal for scrapping from blocked stock

Scrapping causes a reduction in the associated stock. The system moves the value of the scrapped material from the stock account to a scrap account.

• Purpose of purchase order confirmations: Serve as formal, verifiable agreements that enhance communication and streamline procurement operations.
• Confirmation options: Choose between general order confirmations or multiple types for detailed quantity and date tracking.
• Confirmation control key usage: Define the expected sequence and type of confirmations impacting MRP and goods receipt processes.
• Monitoring quantities: Check if ordered quantities are fully confirmed, using system alerts for order acknowledgment reminders if needed.
