The WebSA system provides a way to download the existing SA quantities and need dates. If this is helpful, Supplier pulls up WebSA and downloads existing data to get all TI needs on one report. This is the buton to use:
OR Supplier pulls Shipping Requirements report. This report is updated daily 2X’s per day and shows all schedule agreements data.

Supplier uses the Schedule Agreement Acknowledgment function on the web to input and submit acknowledged quantities.

4. General WebSA Info
An is sent to confirm the SA confirmation and will only include the SA documents and line item numbers that were acknowledged
WebSA allows the supplier to acknowledge up to 25 items at one time.

The Schedule agreement Acknowledgement Function is preferred over using the individual Purchase Order Acknowledgement function.
