Acknowledging Outbound Inventory Orders

You use the Acknowledge Outbound Order Receipt application to acknowledge the receipt of outbound inventory shipment orders.

Access the Acknowledge Outbound Order Receipt application:

Form Name	Form ID	Navigation
Acknowledge Outbound Order Receipt	W42I02A	Outbound Inventory Order Processing (G42I10), Acknowledge Outbound Order.

On the Acknowledge Outbound Orders Receipt application, complete the following fields (optional) and click the Find button:

Outbound Branch/Plant

Enter the outbound branch/plant for which you want to acknowledge orders.

Enter the Sold To value for which you want to acknowledge orders.

Ship To

Enter the Ship To value for which you want to acknowledge orders.

Acknowledgement Status

Use the Acknowledgement Status option to specify whether you want to acknowledge orders or hold some quantity from previously acknowledged orders.

Pending: Use this option when you want to acknowledge orders that are pending acknowledgement.

Acknowledged: Use this option when you want to hold some inventory and prevent users from consuming it.

When you click the Find button, the system displays records in the grid based on the search criteria and also displays the Acknowledge button.

Select the orders that you want to acknowledge and click the Acknowledge button. When you click the Acknowledge button, the system updates the Acknowledgement Status flag in the Outbound Inventory Agreement Acknowledge F42I02 table.

The following table illustrates the different values of the Acknowledgement Status flag and the different use cases when the system updates it:

Use Case	Acknowledgement Status	Description
Order Received and pending acknowledgement	10	When orders are pending for acknowledgement, their Acknowledgement Status code is 10.
Order Received and Acknowledged	50	When orders have been acknowledged, their Acknowledgement Status code is 50.

You can only consume inventory from orders that have been acknowledged. To consume inventory from the orders that you receive, the Acknowledgement Status flag for the order line must be set to 50.

The inventory from the orders that you acknowledge are ready for consumption.
