Actually, the "Big Four" documents in edi for wholesale distribution are the 850, 810, 856 and 997.
While you may think of the 997 as some superficial little nothing, it actually serves as an important link in the document chain. Without it you'd have no way to verify document receipt and would spend countless hours on the phone chasing wayward documents. And you'll be the infamous coordinator issuing the "i don't know" phrase when your A/P department asks if the invoices were delivered or the salesman calls and wants to know where the truck of stuff is. The documents facilitate the job, but they don't consume it. <bow, applause><glad you didn't call me a public drunk ... you'd be very far from the truth.> Brian Lehrhoff, EA ([email protected]) Messaging Consultant 201-913-4506 Upgrade your Quickbooks for 20% off at http://ea.brianlehrhoff.com Circular 230 Notice is located at http://ea.brianlehrhoff.com/230notice.html ________________________________ From: Adam West <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2008 6:52:32 PM Subject: [EDI-L] the Big 3 - 810, 850, 856 Hi - Am I correct in stating the big 3 documents in EDI are 810-850-856? I recall in my programming of these documents some issues to be concerned about were sending wrong data, as well as receiving wrong data. That is, even if the customer sent in bad data, for example some bad UPC number, if we did not rectify this situation, we get the chargeback. This has happened many times here at work. or for example, if the sent their data in such a way as to get a Huge Allowance rebate more than they are supposed to. I cannot recall similar problems with the 810 but am sure this exists. Am interested in hearing like cases of problems and situations you have had to deal with in these 3 documents, or anything else which is used in the Manufacturers side as well.
