EDI 856 Example: Single Order, Standard Carton Pack
The following example depicts a single supplier order which contains three different SKUs, each represented by a unique U.P.C. The total quantity of the first U.P.C. is 72, packed 12 to a case, in 6 cases. The total quantity of the second U.P.C. is 70, packed 10 to a case, in 7 cases. The third U.P.C. is an example of inner pack where there is a carton containing 6 inner packs, each of the 6 inner pack has 4 salable units for a total of 24 eaches.
In the standard carton pack environment, the Item level identifies the shipped U.P.C. and the total quantity shipped of that U.P.C. The Pack level identifies the container serial number(s) and specifies the quantity of the product within a single shipping container.
