Hello everyone,
When we do Generate Purchase Order in New PO Suggestions, PO is created.
However, the created PO is in the Unconfirmed state.
Can’t we just make a PO spawn as a confirmed PO?
Thank you in advance!
I guess not.
The word itself implies. “PO Suggestions” so it’s work is to suggest and not to place order.

You could do a data directive BPM on POHeader to set Confirmed = true.

There is Approved and Confirmed.
Approved means they are Approved by people at your company, your purchasing department buyers.
Confirmed means the PO has been confirmed by your Supplier. Meaning after the Approved PO has been sent to your supplier and they have confirmed receipt of the PO and confirm your PO is valid for them to fulfill.
PO’s created from PO Suggestions are automatically Approved.
Your buyers would enable the Confirm checkbox once they receive confirmation back from your suppliers that they rec’d the PO.

Thanks for your reply.
I already know the meaning of approval and confirmation. And I also know that confirmation has no effect on the next processes.
So we tried not to use the Confirm checkbox, and checked whether it could be automatically checked.
@pilio.lee if your business need is to have the Confirmed checkbox enabled automatically at some point (after Approved or after printed or some other point) then +1 on @jnbadger recommendation to use a Method or Data Directive (BPM) to do that.
