Understanding the Ship Confirm Batch Application

The Ship Confirm Batch Application program (R42500) enables you to confirm multiple orders simultaneously. When you confirm shipments for orders in batch mode, the system retrieves all orders at the status that you specify in the Ship Confirm Batch Application processing options.

The system does not process orders with these criteria:

• Orders that are currently on hold

• Orders that are processed by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management

• Orders that were previously processed for ship confirmation

• Orders with a future committed quantity that is greater than zero

You can run the batch shipment confirmation in proof or final mode. When you run the batch shipment confirmation in proof mode, the system does not advance the status of the orders or update the database. The system sends any electronic error messages to the work center. You can correct errors in the Sales Order Detail Revisions form and resubmit the order for confirmation.

Whenever you run the R42500 program, the system automatically runs the Inbound Transaction Processor (R47500) program to streamline batch processing. When you set up the processing options for the R42500 program, you must specify a version of the P4205 program. Also, set the processing options for the R47500 program.
