Customer Quote/Contract Numbers

 

To support special price considerations the EDI partnership may require that special customer quote numbers, specific contract numbers, or numbers associated with particular promotions be communicated on the purchase order document.  It is suggested that the REF segment be used to identify this information

 

It should be noted that the REF segment may be included at the header portion of the transaction (thereby applying to the entire order), or at the line item level of the order (applying to the specified line).

 

Use of Text Fields

 

Both the MAN and the MTX segments promote the inclusion of text data.  When using these segments it is recommended that they be restricted to free form text and that any other use for specific data which could be mapped, be discouraged.

 

It should be noted that the use of text data in EDI transactions should be limited to those specific agreements between trading partners.  Anytime text data is passed within a transaction, the receiving partner may have to queue the transaction into an exception process for review.  In this case, the transaction cannot be automatically processed.

 

Identification of Business Location

 

The DUNS + 4 number is composed of the DUNS number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet, plus (+) a 4 digit suffix number assigned by the buying organization to identify a unique location (store location, plant location, loading dock, department, etc.)

 

The DUNS + 4 should be used as the primary and preferred method of identifying business locations.  Organizations not using the “+ 4” suffix of the DUNS number should insert four zeros in its place.

 

Service, Promotion, Allowance, or Charge Information

 

The Allowance/Charge Indicator (SAC01) rather than the sign of the amount field, should be used to identify a charge or an allowance.

 

Units of Measure

 

As a best practice this standard encourages the use of the data element 355 to describe the quantity unit of measure and the use of data element 639 to describe price unit of measure.  When using the SCC-14 to identify an item, the quantity unit of measure is not required (See “Use of Shipping Container Codes SCC-14”).

Special Carrier/Shipment Requests

 

To permit the buyer to communicate special shipping conditions such as Same Day, Air Freight, etc., or to allow the specification of a specific carrier, the use of the TD5 segment is recommended.

 

When specifying a specific carrier it is further recommended that the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) be used if one has been assigned to the carrier.   See the TD5 segment for further discussion.

 

It should be noted that the TD5 segment may be included at the header portion of the transaction, thereby applying to the entire order, or at the line item level of the order, applying only to the specified line.

 


Will Call/Customer Pickup

 

When specifying a “Will Call” order it is suggested that the FOB segment include the qualifier “PU” for customer pickup/will call.

 

In addition, the TD5 segment should contain a TD504 element describing shipping method using an “H” qualifier to represent a customer pickup.

 

Use of Shipping Container Code (SCC-14)

 

As partnerships enter into the use of SCC-14 codes, considerations need to be outlined.  This SCC-14 format includes the designation of the specific package size in the first position of the code.  Depending on the item requested, a conflict could exist in the interpretation of the quantity designated in the SCC-14 code and the quantity unit of measure passed in the PO103 element.

 

Example:  

 

PO102      PO103                        PO106                                                PO107                                                                 

Qty                       Qty U/M        Product ID Qualifier                      Product ID (SCC-14)                     Comments

12              EA                   UK                                           30122222222228                             Quantity ordered not

                                                                                                                                          resolved

 

Is the order 1 carton of 12,  or 12 cartons of 12?

 

 

Product ID (SCC-14)                                                               Quantity (Per SCC-14)                             Description                         

00122222222227                                                                       1                                              Each

30122222222228                                                                       12                                            Inner Pack

50122222222222                                                                       96                                            Case

 

To avoid confusion, it is suggested that when using SCC-14 with pack identifier codes, do not include the PO103 element.  Therefore, it is clear that the carton size from the SCC-14 pack identifier code is applied against the quantity ordered as specified in the PO102 element.

 

PO102      PO103                        PO106                                                PO107                                                                       

Qty                       Qty U/M        Product ID Qualifier                      Product ID (SCC-14)                     Comments

12              Not Used       UK                                           00122222222227                             Indicates 12 eaches

 

12              Not Used       UK                                           30122222222228                             Indicates 12 inner

                                                                                                                                          packs of 12 each

 

Segment Usage

 

If a specific segment appears in the “header” area of the transaction, then the information applies to the whole transaction.  If the segment appears in the “detail” portion of the transaction, then the information applies to the detail line only.  If both a “header” and a “detail” segment appear, then the “detail” will supersede on the specific line only.

Electronic Commerce: Automating the

Order/Order Change Process

 

Abstract:       This section attempts to clarify the order/order change process and to suggest a method of automation with the goal of improving the timing and accuracy of order information .

 

Business Case

 

The business processes to be discussed will start with the initial placing of an order and  continue through the acknowledgment of any changes to the order.  This process can be divided into four transactions.

Refer to the definition of the example business cases on the next page.


 

Sample Business Cases

 

Case 1 Purchase Order Only Processing

 

The 850 transaction could be implemented as a single transaction between the buyer and seller.

 

Case 2 Purchase Order and Acknowledgment Processing

 

To demonstrate how the order process could be implemented, the 850 would be used to transmit the initial purchase order.  Then the 855 transaction would be used to acknowledge the order, as well as to communicate changes to the order such as substitutions, ship dates, and price.

 

Case 3 Buyer Initiated Change

 

To demonstrate how some partners may wish to process changes to purchase orders, the buyer initiated change request could be communicated using an 860 transaction.  If a seller acknowledgment is required then an 865 transaction would be generated confirming, rejecting or stating changes to the 860 change request.

 

Case 4 Alternative Change Acknowledgments

 

It is the suggested guideline  that the 855 be used to acknowledge an initial order.

 

However, if an acknowledgment transaction is required in response to a purchase order change request then the industry guideline allows for either an 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment or an 865 Purchase Order Change Acknowledgment to be sent by the seller dependent on the buyers preference.  

 

If a buyer is capable of receiving an 865 then the use of the 865 is preferred.

 

Case 5 Seller Initiate Changes

 

In some advanced partnerships the 865 can be used by the seller to notify the buyer of a seller initiated change to the order, such as substitutions, and ship date changes.  In this case, if the partnership requires that the buyer acknowledge the change, then the 860 can be sent confirming or rejecting the seller initiated changes.

 

Suggested Guidelines

 

In the interest of furthering the cause of electronic commerce, this document is going to suggest a common usage of this group of transactions.  It is acknowledged that variations from this suggested standard will exist, but should be treated as exceptions.

 

It is suggested that the:

 

·        855 be used by the seller to acknowledge the receipt of the initial purchase order.  This transaction can be used to accept the order as received or to indicate acceptance with changes to the order.

 

·                    855 be used by the seller to notify the buyer of a vendor generated order (VMI environment).

 

·        860 be used by the buyer to communicate any changes to the order.

 

·        855 or the 865 can alternatively be used by the seller to communicate a change to the purchase order.  This transaction could be seller initiated, or in response to a buyer’s 860 Purchase Order Change Request.  The choice of which transaction to use will be dependent on the specific partnership, however the use of the 865 is preferred.

 


Transaction Definition

 

850 Purchase Order

This buyer initiated transaction communicates the purchase order to the seller.

 

855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment

This seller initiated transaction permits the communication of the acknowledgment of the buyer’s initial purchase order.

 

Under the proposed guidelines, this transaction could also be used later in the order cycle for the seller to communicate another change to the purchase order, such as a delivery date change, or to acknowledge a change request from the buyer.  (Refer to the Suggested Guidelines above for additional comments on when to use this transaction.)

 

 

860 Purchase Order Change Request

This buyer initiated transaction permits the communication of a requested change to the purchase order. 

 

It is anticipated that this transaction would only be used when associated with orders that reside in the sellers system for a long duration.  This is normally used to change blanket orders, orders with scheduled ship dates, or any order that might fall into the futures category.

 

It should be noted that the 860 can be used by the buyer to confirm a change associated with a seller initiated change to a purchase order.  This could be a response to a 855 or to a 865 depending on the partnership and the timing of the transactions.

 

865 Purchase Order Change Acknowledgment/Request

This seller initiated transaction permits the communication of the acknowledgment of change to a buyer purchase order.  It also permits the seller to communicate additional changes to the accepted order. 

 

Under the proposed guidelines, this transaction could also be used later in the order cycle for the seller to communicate another change to the purchase order, such as a delivery date change, or to acknowledge a change request from the buyer.  (Refer to the Suggested Guidelines above for additional comments on when to use this transaction.)

 

The 865 is usually sent in response to 860 change request.

ECTF Notes:  One of the greatest difficulties in establishing trading partnerships is the sharing of quantities with a possibility of interpretation problems associated with quantity unit of measures.  Usually this only affects a small segment of products communicated, therefore the problem does not always appear in the initial test transactions.

 

It is recommended that the sender convert quantities to the lowest possible common unit of measure.  For any unit of measurement other than "each", both partners would be advised to discuss their intent prior to implementing this transaction.
