Inbound idoc for updating delivery date of purchase order

Question

Hi All,
Our vendor sends a delivery file consisting of delivery date and quantity(could be partial) for line items of a purchase order.
I need to update the Purchase order line item with the delivery date and quantity sent from the Vendor. It should add a new confirmation line with custom confirmation category in the confirmation tab of the line item in the Purchase order.
Each time we get a delivery file we need to add a new confirmation line in the confirmation tab of the purchase order line item.
How can I get this working using inbound idoc processing? Which Idoc type should I use to solve my issue. Will ORDERSP work for my scenario?
Thank you,
Sonali.

Confirmation category used for order acknowledgement is define in configuation. You can change that from AB to your custom condition and EDI should pickup that.
SPRO->Material Management->Purchasing->Confirmation->Define Internal Confirmation Category

Check tolerance limit defined for confirmation category in 'Conformation Control' Node in SPRO at same level as above.
