Document Choreography of an EDI Purchase
So it goes like this:
850 is a Purchase order, and is sent to the Vendor
855 is an Order Response, and is sent from the Vendor. It confirms, updates or rejects each line, or the PO as a whole.
856 is the Ship Notice. and is sent from the Vendor. It may contain one or more lines from one or more orders and can indicate shipment of partial lines from a PO.
810 is the Invoice, and is sent from the Vendor. It contains one or more lines from one or more POs, but generally people keep these to only one PO.
820 is Remittance, and is sent to the Vendor. It contains information relating to payment.

Thanks guys. I don’t know why all of the contents of this article went missing when it posted. I really didn’t mean for that to happen.
I guess the other people all had just thought that I had lost my mind or was going for some new “minimalist” blogging style.
