Acknowledgment
An acknowledgment is a notification sent from the vendor to the buyer to verify that the purchase order was received. It also summarizes the information on the purchase order and validates the order's authenticity.
Note: When you receive a purchase order acknowledgement, the
Purchase Order application updates the purchase order acknowledgment
date. The date appears in the User Date 1 field on the purchase order
header.
You can receive purchase order acknowledgements when you issue a purchase order using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). After receiving the purchase order, the vendor uses EDI to create and transmit a detailed acknowledgment of the purchase order. For more information about using EDI, see the Lawson EDI Standard and EDI Professional for Supply Chain Management User Guide.
