You can confirm schedules at the header level to confirm the schedule in one step or you can confirm the schedule at the line item level before confirming the header. Use the line item procedure if different schedulers must approve their assigned items before the schedule itself is confirmed.

You can delete unconfirmed schedule headers, and you can delete confirmed or unconfirmed schedule items if the associated header is not confirmed.

You cannot edit or delete a confirmed schedule.

The Confirmed status is analogous to purchase order approval, and implies that the schedule is accurate and approved for distribution to the supplier.

All new Planning and Shipping Schedules are created with a header and line item status of "In Process". As you complete the confirmation process, the status is changed to "Confirmed."

If the schedule header is still "In Process," you can optionally edit or delete the schedule, or delete and edit any line items.

If Authorizations are enabled for any item and CUM Management is enabled for the ship-to organization, the high-water mark for each authorization within the current CUM period is evaluated when the schedule, not the item, is confirmed.

Confirming Schedule Headers

   To confirm a single schedule at the header level:

1. Place your cursor in the Supplier Schedules header listing.

2. Choose the Confirm Schedule button.

A dialog message will warn you if individual items on the schedule are unconfirmed, and will verify the confirmation action. You can optionally print and/or send the schedule at the same time.

Confirming Schedule Line Items

   To confirm a single schedule at the line item level:

1. Navigate to the Items block of the Supplier Schedules window or to the Item Schedule window.

2. If your cursor is in the Supplier Schedules Items block of the Supplier Schedules window, you can optionally use multiselect to Confirm multiple items at one time or choose Select All from the menu.

If your cursor is in the Item Schedule window, you can only confirm the current cursor item.

3. Choose the Confirm Items button in the Supplier Schedules window, and respond to the action verification.

4. You cannot print at the same time that you confirm individual items; you can print and confirm at the same time only when you are confirming the header.
