Purchase order acknowledgement results

The Purchase Order Acknowledgement Results report is a combined summary and exception report of processed purchase orders. If there is an error processing a purchase order or differences between a purchase order and the acknowledgment, then message lines are displayed.

These are examples of errors and differences:

• Item is rejected
• Item is on backorder
• Acknowledged unit of measure does not match purchase order
• Acknowledged unit cost does not match purchase order
• Estimated delivery date does not match the purchase order early delivery date

The Purchase Order Acknowledgement Results report is sorted by company, buyer, vendor, vendor location, and purchase order. You can receive purchase order acknowledgments from the vendor when you issue your purchase orders using electronic data interchange (EDI). The acknowledgment verifies receipt of the order, summarizes the information on the purchase order, and validates the authenticity of the order. Acknowledgment of a purchase order is only available when you issue purchase orders using EDI as the issue method.
