When you send a purchase order to a vendor without change management, what status is typically applied to the purchase order?

When a purchase order is sent to a vendor without change management, the typical status applied to the purchase order is "Confirmed." This status indicates that the purchase order has been successfully transmitted to the vendor and is now acknowledged as a formal request for the specified goods or services.

In the context of procurement processes within Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, confirming a purchase order means that the vendor has received and recognized the order, and they can proceed to fulfill it. This status helps both the buyer and the vendor track the progress of the order while ensuring clarity in communication regarding the items and conditions outlined in the purchase order.

On the other hand, "Approved" usually refers to internal authorization within the buying organization before sending the order to the vendor. "In external review" implies that the purchase order is under review by the vendor and has not yet been confirmed. "Canceled" indicates that the purchase order is no longer valid and has been terminated, which is not applicable in this case since the order is initially sent without any changes. Therefore, "Confirmed" accurately reflects the status of the purchase order upon its transmission to the vendor.
