X12 860 Purchase Order Change Request - Buyer Initiated (GSA ADV)

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Purchase Order Change Request - Buyer Initiated Transaction Set (860) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide the information required for the customary and established business and industry practice relative to a purchase order change. This transaction can be used: (1) by a buyer to request a change to a previously submitted purchase order or (2) by a buyer to confirm acceptance of a purchase order change initiated by the seller or by mutual agreement of the two parties.

Usage notes
  1. Use this segment to carry the title or full text of any clause, a special instruction, the Reason for Modification, or other information associated with the number cited in N902.

  2. This segment is also used to carry clause fill-in information that is not provided elsewhere within the transaction set. Use of clause titles when providing fill-in information is recommended.

  3. When providing fill-in information, the following format is recommended:

    a) In the first iteration of the segment, cite the clause title, and the clause Alternate identifier with date if applicable, followed by a pipe sign to indicate the end of the title information, then cite the number of fill-ins followed by a second pipe sign to indicate the end of the title segment.

    b) For each fill-in, begin a new MSG segment using the sequence in which the fill-ins appear within the clause. These MSG segments may each begin with a number indicating the fill-in's sequence position. End each fill-in with a pipe sign. If multiple iterations of MSG are required for a long fill-in, end only the last MSG segment of that fill-in with the pipe sign.

  4. The purpose of the pipe sign (|) is to provide an indication to receiving applications that the data string related to a single entry has been completed.

    An example of a clause with 3 fill-ins follows:

    MSGCommencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work Alternate I (April 1984)|3|
    MSG
    1. 30|
    MSG2. 30 Sep 1995|
    MSG
    3. 15 Jan 1995|

  5. An example alternative format provides all fill-in information within the title MSG segment as follows:

    MSG*Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work Alternate I (Apr 1984)|3|30|Sep 30, 1995|Jan 15, 1995|
