How to use order and line indicators as a buyer

Order & line indicators

You can set indicators on both order and line levels. Line indicators have precedence over (overrule) order indicators.

When working with the single delivery per order line feature, these indicators behave slighty different, check the single delivery feature.

confirmed: all goods of this order or line are confirmed by the supplier, according to the buyer.

The order or line must have process status Issued and will become Confirmed. This indicator is only intended for onboarding or migration of order lines which are already confirmed.

Reconfirmation request by buyer

requestReconfirmation: the supplier is requested to reconfirm the order line. The supplier either reconfirms the order line with requested values or alternatively does a reopen request with different values.

The order or line must have process status Confirmed and will become InProgress. The inProgressStatus will become OpenBuyerReconfirmationRequest

Only the parent order line has to be reconfirmed.

This line will become shipped, and the parent order line will become shipped when all grouped lines are marked as shipped.

Only the parent order line will become completed when all grouped lines are marked as completed.

This line will be removed from the delivery schedule, and the parent order line will become cancelled when all lines are marked as cancelled.

Propose when accepted

Only the parent order line will get a proposal when the grouped lines are accepted.
