What's in an EDI 865?
The EDI 865 will include information that identifies the original EDI 850 (Purchase Order), and may include the acknowledgment/request of the following:
- Add or Delete items
- Adjust the price of items
- Change descriptive or identifying information of items
- Increase or decrease the quantity of items
- Change dates (shipment, cancellation, etc.)
When Is an EDI 865 Typically Issued?
If there is a change request, it needs to happen quickly. Retailers may have different specifications, but many that utilize the EDI 865 will require that it be sent within 24-48 hours after the receipt of the EDI 860 (Purchase Order Change) or the EDI 850 (Purchase Order).
