First of all I'd like to say it is very nice and refreshing to see a
retailer actually take into account what the vendors can or can not do and
ask what is easier for them. I don't see this very often. Bravo Craig!
As for your question, like most everyone else I agree with the ISS. I would
expect that most systems will give people an option to either send an item
or carton count in this segment. If you mandate that you want an item count
you'll always get what you want. It's been a while since I've worked with
any BIG 5 vendors so I don't remember if you support cases in the IT1
segments or not, but that would be the only trick to this whole thing. If
everyone always invoices in eaches they'll have the total item count without
having to do any kind of conversion.
I don't like the IT3 or QTY segments just for the simple fact that these
would only give you a total count for each item (same as is in the IT1
segment, or you'll send the same information over and over if you send the
shipment total after each line.

Hi gang....
I'm creating an 810 Invoice document spec. Because of the way we
have things set in our AP system, it is necessary to have a "Total
units in shipment" type of a number - so that if we've got 3 line
items being shipped (and invoiced), that we get the total number of
items having been shipped - no matter what item it is....
We're invoiced for 100 ea of Widget A, 250 ea of Widget B and 150 ea
of Widget C - total shipment of 500 units.
I'm looking at 3 different possible segments:
IT 3 - Additional Item Data
This would put it at the Item Level with the IT1 and SAC segments.
QTY - Quantity
This also is at the Item Level with the IT1 and SAC segments.
ISS - Invoice Shipment Summary
This is at the end of the document just before the CTT and SE
segments.
Currently, we have one trading partner that is using the ISS
segment - but lists the quantity of cartons/cases in the shipment,
as opposed to the number of total items shipped (across product
lines).
So, I ask all of you - which segment would you use in an 810
Invoice - and WHY.....?
Thanks in advance for all the replies....
