Solve EDI purchase order confirmation validation errors
Business Integration Solutions task

The purchase order confirmations that you receive with the 'Purchase - XML to EDI confirmation' message are stored in the EDI purchase order confirmations journal.
These EDI purchase order confirmations are validated according to the applicable journal validation setup. If the applicable validation rules are not met, an error or warning is given. Before an EDI purchase order confirmation can be processed further, review the errors and warnings, and take appropriate actions.
If journal validation errors are given, you have these options:

  • Solve the errors. You can solve validation errors in:
    • The EDI purchase order confirmation, where you can make the appropriate changes.
    • Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. For example, if the setup must be changed to solve the error.
  • Cancel the EDI purchase order confirmation, line, or address with errors.

You cannot accept headers, lines, or addresses with errors. If you do so, and approve the EDI purchase order confirmation, the header, line, or address with errors is again set to Rejected.

If the errors are solved or lines or addresses with errors are canceled, approve the EDI purchase order confirmation.
