Hi Bakulesh,
you can receive purchase order responses (POR) via XML or create them manually when the vendor has transmitted the purchase order response data,for example, by fax, letter, or telephone. The POR can contain the information that the vendor accepts all purchase order items and can deliver them as ordered; or information about variations from the purchase order (PO) that occur because the vendor can confirm the PO only in part.
You normally use the purchaser role to manually create a purchase order response. As the purchaser, you decide whether POR variations need to transferred to the PO.
The purchase order response can also be created by a central role, for example, by the secretary. If you as the secretary enter POR variations, the purchaser must approve the data transfer to the purchase order.
You can configure the following workflows for the purchase order response:
·        (WS14500001)
Automatic transfer of purchase order response data into the purchase order. The system carries out a comparison during the data transfer (background processing). If the quantity, price, and delivery date variations transmitted by the vendor are within the tolerance limits set in Customizing, and no other variations are transmitted, then the data transfer of the first inbound POR occurs automatically.
This workflow is relevant for XML receipt or manual entry with a subsequent approval workflow.
·        (WS14500019)
If the POR data differs from that in the purchase order, you can be informed via a work item. As a purchaser, you can decide for each item whether you wish to transfer the data into the purchase order or not.
·        (WS14500007)
If the POR data differs from that in the purchase order, you can be informed via e-mail (with the number of the purchase order).
·        (WS14500017)
Monitoring receipt of the purchase order response:
When the flag Purchase order response expected is set in the purchase order, and a purchase order response is not received for all PO items within a specified timeframe, you can be informed via a work item.
