X12 855 Non-Merchandise Purchase Order Acknowledgment

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Purchase Order Acknowledgment Transaction Set (855) 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 a seller's acknowledgment of a buyer's purchase order. This transaction set can also be used as notification of a vendor generated order. This usage advises a buyer that a vendor has or will ship merchandise as prearranged in their partnership.

Burlington Coat Factory requires the '002' to identify the requested delivery date selected by the user during the online order process, this date may or may not be the same as the regularly scheduled 'Third Party' delivery date for a particular store location. This information is necessary to create the Purchase Order in the BCF Procurement System.

010
Requested Ship
067
Current Schedule Delivery

Burlington Coat Factory uses the '067' qualifier to identify the regularly scheduled 'Third Party' delivery date for a particular store location based on the user and store identification identified, for example: if the order was placed on Wednesday and the regular delivery date for a particular store location falls on a Tuesday, Tuesday’s date would populate the DTM02. This ensures that systemic knowledge will be available for auditing and order tracking purposes supported by the ASN.

275
Approved

Burlington Coat Factory uses the '275' qualifier for orders, where the approved date is the date the user's order (request) was approved; for example if a user creates and submits an order (request) on 01/01/2012 and it is approved by the manager on 01/02/2012; the approved date of the order would be 01/02/2012.
