Understanding Inbound PO Acknowledgments (855/ORDRSP)

Run the EDI Inbound PO Acknowledgment program (R47021) from the Purchase Order menu to receive purchase order acknowledgments from vendors. When you run EDI Inbound PO Acknowledgment for purchase order acknowledgments, the program:

  • Changes the status of a purchase order based on the way processing options are set.

  • Acknowledges vendor receipt of the order.

  • Generates a discrepancy report that lists orders in which the acknowledgment does not match the original order.

The program does not change or update any other purchase order fields. When you run EDI Inbound PO Acknowledgment for purchase order acknowledgments, the program updates the F4311 table only if you set the processing options for the program.
