When a user chooses the “Require Supplier Confirmation” checkbox in the creation of a PO, the supplier will be required to confirm they have received and accepted the PO.

Once the supplier accepts the PO, an alert notification will be sent back to the user who created the PO. If you choose this option, the supplier will be required to confirm acceptance of the PO in order for the status to change to issued and allow the user to be able to add deliveries and reconcile invoices. You will also notice that when you go back to the transaction, there will be a note saying that the PO was sent and on the date which it was sent.

If you used that option on a PO and the supplier is not able to accept it directly from their email or Tradogram account, there is an option to accept on the suppliers behalf once the PO has been sent to the supplier.
