Hey Leah, Based on the initial look, our ERP can handle multiple PO's per invoice. In fact, the manual process from this supplier does include multiple PO's per invoice they send.
I really, REALLY hate the ZZ qualifier, but I won't get on that soap box now. We are a CPG company and I would have expected the 1 invoice per PO to be standard on the CPG side as well. Your last statement is key - am I starting this EDI invoice process of with an exception or the rule? How do we handle suppliers that don't/won't handle it that way. I will kick this back to the analysts. Thanks for the quick response. -Thorsten ________________________________ From: Leah Halpin <[email protected]> To: Thorsten Evans <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 3, 2012 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [EDI-L] EDI Invoice - multiple PO's? You can always jury rig a REF segment, using ZZ if you have to, however, I'm with you, one invoice per. That is standard, as much as invoice is standard, in Automotive anyway, which isn't saying much, it's mostly ERS. You are the customer, you know your mapping tool, you should know enough about your ERP to know if you could make this work. If not, find out. If you can't make it work technically, it should be off the table. If it's going to take a lot of time/money/resources, you need to report this back to whoever made the "suggestion" and your management as well. Oh, and you need to take into account the fact that at least one of your suppliers isn't going to be able to do that, and what will you do then? Good Luck, Leah ________________________________ From: Thorsten Evans <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 3, 2012 10:36 AM Subject: [EDI-L] EDI Invoice - multiple PO's? We are on the verge of doing supplier side EDI with one of our manufacturers. It has been suggested that we allow them to send us an invoice that includes multiple PO numbers on the invoice. I was curious to hear how many others allow for this on the invoices. I had not heard of this before. When looking at the 810 invoice, there is the PO# field in the BIG04...where would the PO# be at the line level? I don't see a spot for it. Is there another document that would allow for multiple PO's to be invoiced on one invoice?
