• Key Concepts: 
  Note-only confirmation is a feature of SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SCM-ICH) that allows a buyer to confirm an order without actually placing it. This feature is useful for buyers who want to confirm an order but are not yet ready to commit to it. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use note-only confirmation, the buyer must first select the order they wish to confirm. Then, they must select the “Note-Only Confirmation” option from the drop-down menu. This will send a notification to the seller that the buyer has confirmed the order, but without actually placing it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using note-only confirmation, it is important to remember that the order is not actually placed until the buyer confirms it again with a full confirmation. This means that if the buyer changes their mind or needs to make any changes to the order, they must do so before confirming it again.
