This standard provides for the format and establishes the data contents of a purchase order change transaction set. The purchase order change transaction set provides 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.

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.
