How Open Confirmations Works in iDempiere

The Open Confirmations report in iDempiere provides a clear view of all unconfirmed shipment and receipt confirmations that have been created but not yet completed in the system. These open confirmations typically arise when goods are shipped, received, or moved within inventory, but the related confirmation record has not yet been processed.

This report does not modify or process confirmations, it simply displays the current set of open confirmation lines so that users can review, monitor, and follow up on pending confirmations.

Open Confirmation Data

When you run the Open Confirmations report, iDempiere queries the confirmation tables for records where the confirmation has been created but not yet fully processed. Each record in the list represents a confirmation action that needs attention — either for shipment confirmations or receipt confirmations.

The report generally includes:

• Confirmation number
• Related shipment or receipt document
• Business partner information
• Warehouse and locator
• Confirmation type such as Ship/Receipt Confirm, Pick/QA Confirm, Vendor Confirm, Drop Ship Confirm (where applicable)

This allows users to see exactly which confirmations remain open across the organization.

Open Confirmations Uses

In typical operations:

• Warehouse teams run the report to identify pending confirmations for goods received or shipped.
• Procurement and logistics teams use it to ensure all inbound receipts are confirmed before inventory availability is updated.
• Distribution and fulfillment teams verify that shipped quantities have been confirmed before final billing or reconciliation takes place.

The report helps maintain inventory accuracy and process discipline by highlighting confirmations that have been created but not yet completed.

Open Confirmations Importance

A confirmation record exists to verify that a material movement (receipt or shipment) was physically executed as expected. Until the confirmation is processed:

• Inventory may not reflect the true stock levels
• Downstream processes like invoice matching or inventory valuation can be delayed
• Workflow or business process controls may remain open

The Open Confirmations report gives a real-time snapshot of all such pending confirmation items so that operational teams can take corrective action and complete necessary confirmations.

The Open Confirmations in iDempiere is a specialized inventory support report that lists all
confirmation records still pending completion for shipments, receipts, or other confirmation types. It helps operations teams track and resolve unconfirmed material movements, improving inventory accuracy, process control, and operational transparency.
