Summary :
In SAP sales order management, there can be confusion with the "Order confirmation status" in the document flow of an order item. This status, under specific conditions (e.g., third-party or individual purchase order items with partial order acknowledgements), might display "All sched. lines confirmed" even if there's an unconfirmed quantity. Technically, this status (VBUP-COSTA = 'C') implies that all schedule lines confirmed by the supplier match those confirmed in the sales order, regardless of any unconfirmed residual quantities. The system considers only confirmed quantities in the status calculation, thus displaying any remaining open quantities separately without affecting the overall item status. This distinction is critical for correctly interpreting the sales order's document flow and managing customer expectations about order fulfillment and delivery.
