X12M Supply Chain Subcommittee
What is an EDI 860?
An EDI 860 Purchase Order Change Request - Buyer Initiated communicates a change from the buyer to the original EDI 850 Purchase Order. It contains information about changes in quantity to an item (POC Segment), changes in shipping/delivery dates (DTM Segment), or changes in delivery location (N1 Loop).
How is an EDI 860 used?
For example, Retailer A accidentally orders 100 units of a SKU from Vendor B in an EDI 850 Purchase Order. Retailer A then realizes their mistake, and reduces the order to 10 units of the SKU by issuing an EDI 860 Purchase Order Change Request - Buyer Initiated to Vendor B.
