> Your model is commonly used in automotive manufacturing, but high-tech, > retail and communications commonly use an 850 with 855 and/or 865’s. 830/862 are buyer-initiated changes, for which an '855/865' acknowledgement might reasonably be requested. Earlier someone mentioned seller-initiated changes to part numbers, prices or ship dates... these, too, would be reasonable circumstances under which the buyer would request an '855/865' However, in the original question.... >Hi all, I want to get a feel from the group members about generating >multiple PO Acks for the same PO. We have a customer who wants a PO Ack to >be sent every time we touch the PO in our backend system (SAP). ... some kind of acknowledgment is requested for "every time we touch the PO...". I think a better understanding between the partners of the meaining of "touch" is required here. >.. Our business process allows us to send only one PO Ack for the PO. Welcome to the Real World. Customers will often request things without regard to your "business process" or "back end system"... strangely enough, your customers are focused on THEIR needs, not yours. Then again, true trading *partners* will always be able to work something out. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc. Racine WI [email protected] ------------------------------------ ...
