Jaime,

While I am sure there are several more ways to communicate this data I would
suggest the following as straightforward and simple:

1. Use one of the Product/Service ID Qualifier fields (PO106, PO108, etc.)
in the PO1 segment.  The listing for DE235 includes 'ON' which stands for
Customer's Order Number.

2. Include an REF segment within the PO1 loop with an appropriate qualifier
in REF01 (I would suggest 'EV' End User's Purchase Order Number).

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
