I can not agree with the response that it is defined by the trading partner, i.e. the sender of the PO.
I am not sure what industry Jerome is participating in; however, the SDQ was developed by the general merchandise sector of the retail industry. In that sector suppliers typically process their orders based on the ship-to or mark-for, i.e. store level. Please note there is a distinct difference between a supplier's order and a retailer's PO. In addition, many suppliers create an ASN and an Invoice based on each of their orders. I do realize there are several different order & shipping systems with different capabilities to ungroup, group, and regroup, based on different business parameters; however, the typical scenario is for the supplier to create a single supplier order for each different location listed in all of the SDQ segments on the PO. As an example if a PO was receiver with three line items (product A, B, and C) each with a quantity of 150, and each line item with two SDQ segments listing 15 different stores (1, 2, 3, .15), each specifying 10 units. * The result would be 15 supplier orders each with three line items, and each line item specified 10 units. Basically you are creating a list of line items by Item Number and Store Number, sorting on Store Number and then creating a supplier order for each store. * Each Supplier order would reference the same PO. * Each supplier order would be filled, shipped, and invoiced. * There would be 15 ASNs and Invoices, even if all supplier orders were shipped on the same day. Also, if the supplier has multiple ship-from locations it is very possible the orders would be shipped from different location based on the final destination. This is why I believe it is the supplier who would determine how the SDQ PO would be processed, and how the ASNs and Invoices are created. Best Regards, James D.
