SAP Term: confirmation against scheduling agreement

• Component: SCM-APO-PPS-CDS

• Component Name: Sales Scheduling Agreement Processing

• Description: Information from the supplier to the customer stating which quantities from scheduling agreement SA releases the former anticipates being able to deliver. This confirmation provides the customer with more up-to-date information at the time of planning; he does not have to wait until the supplier posts the outbound delivery or goods issue to receive this information. Note In contrast to the shipping notification in the ERP system, which confirms just one SA release schedule line, the confirmation in this process relates to numerous schedule lines over a longer period of time. While the shipping notification is transmitted in the ERP system, the confirmation takes place directly in the SAP APO system.
