Just curious why the terminology when registering a PO arrival in Cloud is “Proceed” or “Discard” as opposed to “OK” and "Cancel”?

Hi
When we try to Receive from the Register Arrivals page, Receive assistant pops up where we can enter relevant data. To confirm our data, OK approval is there. Based on our data, IFS application then pops up any Warnings or Information messages that are related to our data. By accepting these warnings we can PROCEED further on the receipt process. So, my view is that Proceed is the best action for this instance.

I guess it’s semantics, really. Proceed and Discard are not standard terminology in IFS whereas OK (ie continue/yes/happy to go ahead with what I was doing) and Cancel (do not continue/stop/go back/I've changed my mind) so I was wondering what had prompted their introduction.

Hi
I wonder, why does this message prompt if there are no warnings or information to see? In my opinion this just adds unnecessary clicks to a highly used process for no reason. Is there a way to disable this or only show if there is warnings/information?
