3401990 - Supplier Confirmation API For Purchase Order

Symptom

  • Unable to retrieve the supplier confirmation data for purchase orders.
  • SAP has provided an option which is through the Create Purchase Order - Advanced app and through Manage Supplier Confirmations.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

Supplier confirmations are separate business documents besides purchase orders. The API can be used to create and change these supplier confirmations. When a supplier confirmation is created, the purchase order is updated as it is the case, when adding confirmations to a purchase order with the app “Change Purchase Order - Advanced”.

Currently, the CDS I_POSupplierConfirmationAPI01 is available to get details about confirmations of a purchase order.

There are two options to enter supplier confirmations for a purchase order:

  1. Add the information to the purchase order directly, for example with the “Change Purchase Orders - Advanced” app.
  2. Use the API CE_SUPPLIERCONFIRMATION_000 or the “Manage Supplier Confirmations” app to create a business document that is separate from the purchase order. When creating this extra document, the purchase order is also updated as this is the case for the first option, and a reference to the newly created supplier confirmation can be seen in the Confirmation tab of the "Change Purchase Order - Advanced" app. 

When option 1 is selected to add supplier confirmations to a purchase order, no separately created business document for supplier confirmation will be available for processing with the API CE_SUPPLIERCONFIRMATION_000 or the "Manage Supplier Confirmations" app.
