What must be configured in Customizing to ensure confirmed quantities and dates are recorded in the purchase order item?

To ensure confirmed quantities and dates are recorded in the purchase order item, it is essential to configure a confirmation control key with a sequence of two confirmation types. The confirmation control key plays a fundamental role in the procurement process by specifying how confirmations are managed.

When the confirmation control key is set up with a sequence that includes confirmation types, it enables the system to handle multiple confirmations and track the quantities and delivery dates accurately. This setting ensures that suppliers can provide confirmations for the ordered items, which can be used to monitor compliance against the purchase order and manage inventory levels effectively.

Incorporating this configuration directly relates to enhancing the accuracy of ordered versus delivered goods, which is vital for maintaining supply chain efficiency and visibility. This level of detail in configuration streamlines the procurement process and helps in making informed business decisions.
