Craig,
What use would there be in sending the total quantity and amount being ordered be if there are multiple lines in the order?? , this genius in accounting wants us to transmit a total dollar value of the invoice (with allowances applied) and a total number of units being ordered How would that help me reconcile my invoices (or orders) if it is sent at the summary level? Line 1 Cost: $10.00 Allow: 10% Qty :1000 Line 2 Cost: $8.00 Allow: 5% Qty :50 Line 3 Cost $10.00 Allow 5% Qty 500 Line 4 Cost $100 Allow 0% Qty 100 Total order/invoice value: ($9000+380+4750+1000) : $15,130 Total Qty 1650 How do these totals tell me if an allowance was taken and for how many units and what line at what rate? If anything I'd expect to see a SAC segment at the detail level - PO1 or IT1, then there'd be no confusion. I can then do as I wish with it and have all the data I'd need to reconcile any way I'd want. (Or am I missing something here..?) Just my .02 worth.

Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 11:58 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [EDI-L] Revision to the PO Map (850). OK, I'm seeking advice from the group... My accounting department (ok, one guy) is saying that our vendor community can't seem to get the concept of figuring out allowances for invoices. Here's an example - Cost - $10.00 Allowance - 10% Quantity - 1000 Just using that simple concept - it's basic math - not far and above the 6th grade... You'd set it up like this: (C*A)*Q=Net Cost Right? I mean, am I over simplifying this...? To all of you on the "vendor/supplier/manufacturer" side of the coin - are your systems so ... stupid ... that they can't do a simple calculation such as this? But, I digress - as usual. Instead of putting the onus of the math on the vendor side, this genius in accounting wants us to transmit a total dollar value of the invoice (with allowances applied) and a total number of units being ordered. His thought process is that the vendor (i.e. you) would be able to balance the incoming dollar amount of the PO against your sales order and also against the invoice(s) generated by the sales order. So, I know that I can use the AMT segment for the total dollar value of the PO. That's kind of a given. But I can't seem to find a segment to use to populate the total quantity being ordered. I was thinking of using the "hash total" in the CTT segment, but that's having the translation process add up those numbers. Our programmers have captured the total value and quantity during the PO creation/printing process and populate some data fields that I can then map from - a fixed number, calculated by the program - and populate the 850 map to be sent. So, the question is - where do I put the data...? Your suggestions? Where do you see the data (if you receive a PO) or where do you put it (when you send a PO)....? Craig E.
