The Ship \/ Receipt Confirm<\/strong> window in iDempiere is used to verify and finalize physical goods movement<\/strong> after a shipment or material receipt document is completed. It acts as a control checkpoint to confirm that the quantities physically shipped or received match what was planned in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This window does not create shipments or receipts<\/strong>; It confirms them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Confirmation Records Creation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a Shipment (Customer Shipment)<\/strong> or a Material Receipt (Vendor Receipt)<\/strong> is completed, iDempiere automatically generates one or more confirmation records<\/strong> if confirmation is enabled for the document type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These confirmation records represent a request to verify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • What was actually shipped, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • What was actually received<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Until confirmation is processed, the movement is considered logically completed but not physically verified<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ship\/Receipt Confirm Window<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Ship \/ Receipt Confirm window displays:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The related Shipment or Receipt document<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Individual confirmation lines per product<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Planned quantity vs confirmed quantity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Difference quantity (if any)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Users review each line and confirm whether the physical movement matches the document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This step ensures warehouse accountability<\/strong> before downstream processes continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Handle Quantity Differences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If the physically shipped or received quantity differs from the planned quantity, users can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Confirm a lower quantity<\/strong> (short shipment \/ short receipt)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Confirm a higher quantity<\/strong> (over receipt, if allowed)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Record scrap or damage<\/strong>, depending on configuration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        iDempiere captures these differences explicitly instead of silently adjusting stock, which improves audit and traceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n





        In iDempiere, quantity differences entered during Ship \/ Receipt Confirmation<\/strong> directly determine the final inventory quantity. The system updates stock strictly based on the confirmed quantity<\/strong>, ensuring that inventory reflects physical reality. Differences are recorded for traceability but do not silently adjust stock, protecting inventory accuracy and operational integrity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
