What order confirmation is
Order confirmation (order acknowledgement / order response) is the message by which the supplier replies to a PO: fully confirms, partially confirms, proposes a new date/price or rejects. In EDI it maps to the ORDRSP message.
What it validates
- Product availability and quantity
- Price (if it differs from the PO)
- Proposed delivery date
- Substitutions or backorder
Why it matters
Without confirmation, the buyer doesn't know if goods are coming, when and at what price. Structured confirmation prevents receipt surprises and invoicing disputes.
How CRMconnect helps
In the CRMconnect supplier portal, the supplier confirms the order with one click or proposes changes; via EDI, the confirmation (ORDRSP) is processed automatically and reconciled with the PO in the ERP.
Πραγματικό παράδειγμα
A supplier frequently delivered 3-4 days late without warning. After introducing mandatory order confirmation in the CRMconnect portal, real dates became visible at placement, and receipt planning improved significantly.
Ενημέρωση:
Συχνές ερωτήσεις
Is confirmation mandatory?+
You can make it mandatory by policy: the order isn't considered accepted until the supplier confirms date and quantity, via portal or EDI (ORDRSP).
What do I do with a partial confirmation?+
A partial confirmation (lower quantity or shifted date) triggers decisions: accept the partial, source the rest elsewhere or create a backorder - all visible in the system.
