If I can make a suggestion from personal experience here....
Going only by 'date received' to do the cumulatives is subject to the
vagaries of transportation time.
Assuming you are talking about the SHP segment in Loop SHP at 2/470 (ANSI
004010), PLEASE use one or more REF segments in that loop to include a PO#,
PO release number or shipment number for the vendor to use to calculate what
is in transit.
Better still, if you could set up with your vendor that you will send him an
861 Receiving Advice document immediately for each receipt, then you guys
should never get out of synch as to what the cumulative receipt numbers
really mean. The 861 is absolutely invaluable if shipments might not be
received in the order shipped... eg, "send me 500 via Air Freight today
because the ones you shipped last week via truck won't get here until
Tuesday."
EDI is still part of a "partnership" thing!
