Procurement EDI in SAP: Outbound EDI 850 Purchase Orders, Inbound 855 Confirmations and 856 Inbound Deliveries

The buyer side of EDI in SAP S/4HANA: sending purchase orders and changes as ORDERS and ORDCHG IDocs (X12 850 and 860), receiving supplier order confirmations (855, ORDRSP) against confirmation control keys, and turning supplier ASNs (856, DESADV) into inbound deliveries. Learners set up the flow end to end and test that confirmations and ASNs update MRP and receiving correctly.
