EDI 850 Purchase Order:
The EDI 850 is a Purchase Order transaction set, used to place an order for goods or services. The 850 generally provides the same information you would find in a paper Purchase Order (PO) document, including:
§ Item, prices and quantities ordered
§ Shipping details
§ Payment terms
§ Discounts
Simply accepting an EDI 850 from your trading partner is usually not sufficient for full EDI compliance. Most trading partners will expect other EDI transactions from you in response to the purchase order such as:
§ EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgement - to confirm receipt of the EDI 850
§ EDI 810 Invoice – to replace the traditional paper-based invoice
§ EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice – to describe the contents of each shipment and how items were packed.
You might also be asked to trade additional documents for full compliance. These may include:
§ EDI 855 Order Acknowledgement – sent in response to the EDI 850 to confirm you can meet the requirements set in the purchase order
§ EDI 860 Order Change Request – sent to request an update to the details on the original purchase order

EDI 850 Specification:
This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Purchase Order Transaction Set (850) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide for customary and established business and industry practice relative to the placement of purchase orders for goods and services. This transaction set should not be used to convey purchase order changes or purchase order acknowledgment information.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
EDI 855
EDI 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment:
The X12 855 transaction set is a Purchase Order Acknowledgement. It is used by sellers to confirm the receipt of a purchase order (an EDI 850 transaction) from a buyer, eliminating the need to call or fax a confirmation.
The 855 also communicates whether the PO was accepted or rejected, or what changes may have been made to accepted orders by the seller. Thus, like many acknowledgement transactions, the 855 can indicate that the order was accepted, rejected or accepted with changes, as follows:
§ Accepted
§ Rejected
§ Accepted with Changes
· All line items accepted, change freight or cash terms (i.e., header level changes only)
· Change or reject one or more line items, no header-level changes
· Header-level changes, and one or more line items changed or rejected
Each of these may be provided with or without an indication of the product availability.
The 855 transaction may also be used to advise a buyer of a pre-arranged merchandise shipment directly from a vendor.
The seller will typically transmit an 810 Invoice once the product ships. In some cases, an 856 Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) must be provided ahead of the shipment.

EDI 856 Specification:
This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Ship Notice/Manifest Transaction Set (856) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to list the contents of a shipment of goods as well as additional information relating to the shipment, such as order information, product description, physical characteristics, type of packaging, marking, carrier information, and configuration of goods within the transportation equipment. The transaction set enables the sender to describe the contents and configuration of a shipment in various levels of detail and provides an ordered flexibility to convey information. The sender of this transaction is the organization responsible for detailing and communicating the contents of a shipment, or shipments, to one or more receivers of the transaction set. The receiver of this transaction set can be any organization having an interest in the contents of a shipment or information about the contents of a shipment
EDI 856 Ship Notice/Manifest:
The EDI 856 transaction is more commonly called the Advance Ship Notice or ASN. It is utilized to electronically communicate the contents of a shipment to another trading partner. It is sent in advance of a shipment arriving at the other trading partner’s facility.
The 856 transaction is commonly used by the retail, manufacturing and automotive industries in response to EDI 850,EDI 830, or EDI 862 transactions.
In addition to detailing the contents of a shipment, the EDI 856 transaction includes order information, descriptions of products, types of packaging used, carrier information and more. An ASN may provide information at a variety of levels, including:
§ Shipment level information such as tracking numbers and carrier information
§ Order level information such as purchase order numbers
§ Item level information including items and quantities
§ Pack level information including such as barcodes printed on each carton
The EDI 856 may be the most complicated document to implement for suppliers. Each trading partner can have very different requirements, which puts the burden on the supplier to support many different formats. The ASN also becomes a data collection issue because of the volume of data points that must be captured and transmitted back to the trading partner. For example, each carton in a shipment may be assigned a unique barcode identifier that must be transmitted back to the trading partner.
If you ship goods and need to meet trading partner requirements for Advance Ship Notices, 1EDISource can help.ASN Complete works with your EDI software to help build shipments, create labels and generate trading partner-specific ASNs. Contact 1EDISource to learn more about ASN Complete.

EDI 810
EDI 180 Return Merchandise Authorization and Notification:
This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Return Merchandise Authorization and Notification Transaction Set (180) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can provide for customary and established business and industry practice relative to the returning of merchandise to the vendor. This transaction set may satisfy request for returns, authorization or disposition of the return, notification of return, or notification of consumer return.
EDI 810 Invoice:
The EDI 810 Invoice transaction set is the electronic version of the paper-based invoice document. It is typically sent in response to an EDI 850 Purchase Order as a request for payment once the goods have shipped or services are provided.
A vendor will generate an EDI 810 that commonly contains the following:
§ Invoice details such as invoice number and date
§ Shipping details
§ Payment terms
§ Item information including prices and quantities
§ Discounts
Once and EDI 810 transaction is transmitted, additional EDI documents may be sent in response:

EDI 812
EDI 812 Credit/Debit Adjustment:
The EDI 812 Credit/Debit Adjustment transaction set is used to communicate an adjustment to the charges for products or services. It is the equivalent of a paper credit or debit memo.
An 812 may be used by a seller to notify its customer of an increase (debit) or decrease (credit) in the amount the customer is being charged, relative to a previously transmitted Invoice (810) or previously received Purchase Order (850). Alternatively, a buyer may use the 812 to request an adjustment from a supplier.
The data in an 812 document may reference a specific Purchase Order or Invoice, and includes detailed information such as item identification, quantity and the reason for the credit or debit. Common reasons for an adjustment may include:
§ Item was defective
§ Product ordered was not received
§ Goods were or are being returned
§ Actual quantity delivered was greater or less than that ordered
§ There was an error in the pricing of the item in the original PO or invoice
The 812 transaction does not address the details of returns, only the accounting effects as a result of the return. The 180 Return Merchandise Authorization/Notification transaction is used to request or authorize returns.

EDI 820
EDI 820 Payment Order/Remittance Advice:
The X12 820 transaction set provides the EDI format for transmitting information relating to payments. It is typically used in conjunction with an electronic transfer of funds for payment of goods, insurance premiums or other transactions. The actual funds transfer is often coordinated through the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) system, and an 820 may be effectively wrapped in an ACH banking transaction.
The 820 transaction is used in a number of situations:
§ by businesses to provide instructions to banks for making a payment, such as a funds transfer, to a payee
§ by businesses directly to individual suppliers to communicate the details of a pending payment, including adjustments reflected in the payment
§ by companies providing premium payment information to health insurance plans
The information provided in an 820 document includes payer and payee identification, bank and account IDs, invoice number(s), adjustments from an invoice, billed and paid amounts. This information allows the suppliers and health plans to reconcile payments they receive against invoices they have issued.
In healthcare, the 820 is similar to the EDI 835 transaction set. The 820 is specifically for plan sponsors – that is, companies providing healthcare benefits to their employees – to transmit information on premium payments to the health plans. The 835 is used by the health plans for transmitting information on payments to healthcare providers.

EDI 940
EDI 940 Warehouse Shipping Order:
The EDI 940 Warehouse Shipping Order transaction set is used to instruct remote warehouses to ship orders. It is commonly used by a seller, such as a manufacturer or wholesaler, to authorize a warehouse to make a shipment to a buyer, such as a retailer. The 940 may also be used to confirm a shipment, modify a shipment or cancel a previous shipping order.
The 940 transaction essentially instructs the warehouse on what to ship, how much and when. Specific information provided in this transaction set may include:
§ Manufacturer information
§ Delivery date
§ Item descriptions and quantities
§ Ship-to information (location name and address, contact, etc.)
§ Bill-to information
§ Shipment method information
The 940 Warehouse Shipping Order data can be generated from Sales Order or Purchase Order information.
Warehouses may submit a 997 Acknowledgement in response to a 940 transaction, to verify its receipt. Once the order has shipped, a 945 Shipment Advice transaction is sent by the warehouse to provide the shipment details which, in turn, can be used by the seller to produce an 856 Advance Ship Notice and an 810 Invoice.

EDI 940 Specification:
This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Warehouse Shipping Order Transaction Set (940) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used to enable the depositor to advise a warehouse to make a shipment, confirm a shipment, or modify or cancel a previously transmitted shipping order.

EDI 945
EDI 945 Warehouse Shipping Advice:
The EDI 945 transaction set, referred to as Warehouse Shipping Advice transaction, provides confirmation of a shipment. This transaction is used by a warehouse to notify a trading partner that a shipment was made.
The information provided in a 945 transaction may include:
§ Shipment identification
§ Ship-from and ship-to information
§ Date shipment was made
§ Shipment payment type information
§ Transportation method (e.g., air freight, ground, etc.)
§ Shipping service level (e.g., overnight, 2-day delivery, etc.)
§ Item and quantity shipped, including variance from order quantity
In general, the 945 is one of two primary transaction sets designed for EDI communications with remote warehouses. The other is the 940 Warehouse Shipping Order. The 940 is used by manufacturers, wholesalers and other sellers of goods to instruct the warehouse to ship an order. This transaction provides all of the shipment information. The 945 is then returned to the seller by the warehouse once the order has shipped.
The 945 transaction provides the information needed for the seller to reconcile the quantity shipped against the order quantity, create an invoice and generate an 856 Advance Ship Notice (ASN) transaction.

EDI 846 Inventory Inquiry/Advice:
The EDI 846 Inventory Inquiry/Advice transaction set is used to communicate inventory information between manufacturers, their suppliers and resellers. It is used in a number of ways, including:
§ By sellers of goods and services to provide inventory information to a potential customer
§ By a seller’s representatives to supply the seller with inventory information
§ By one seller’s location to supply another location with inventory information
§ By a seller to inquire on the availability of inventory
Manufacturers and suppliers often use 846 transactions to notify trading partners of on-hand inventory in various inventory holding locations, such as warehouses, outlets, stores, distribution centers, etc. One common situation is where a manufacturer uses an 846 to advise a trading partner of overstocked inventories available at discounted prices.
Information included in the 846 transaction set includes inventory location identification, item or part description, and quantities. The quantity of an item may be presented in a number of ways, including:
§ Quantity in float
§ Quantity on hand
§ Committed quantity
§ On order quantity
§ Returns
§ Backorder quantity
§ Quantity in transit
In some cases, the item quantity information in an 846 document may trigger shipment of materials, if an automatic replenishment agreement exists between the trading partners. Such a replenishment agreement would be established separately, via an 850 Purchase Order transaction.
