Hi Jaime,
It would be difficult for the vendor to extract PO# from MSG string.
Solution to this problem would be using element-3 and element-5 of BEG segment to send your PO# and PODate. BEG is specifically used for this purpose.
When you will make some change to your files you need to compile the maps to see the result, wish you all the best.
Thanks

Subject: Customer's PO number on my PO to vendor
Dear list members,
I need some help. Hopefully someone on the list has already solved my
challenge.
It is necessary for us to communicate our customer's PO number when placing
an order with our vendor. Already this information is being sent in a
comment (N9 loop with MSG) for the appropriate line item in the PO1
section. We are using V4010 of the 850. It seems that this is not efficient
when our vendor receives the PO. It is necessary for the vendor to mark the
shipping documents with this PO number as the material travels to our
customer.
Has anyone been able to handle this in an efficient and EDI compliant
manner?
I am open to all suggestions.
Thank you.
Jaime E. Zepeda
