DSW 860 EDI Purchase Order Change Request (Buyer Initiated) Mapping Notes (POC and SDQ Segments)
DSW 860 EDI transaction mapping notes described in today’s post continue to describe mapping notes of the Purchase Order Change Request – Buyer Initiated Transaction Set for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. As it was mentioned in the previous post, the DSW 860 EDI transaction set can be used to provide the information required for the customary and established business and industry practice relative to a purchase order change.
Not all segments are mentioned below – only those ones with important mapping notes.
Loop POC – POC Line Item Change
- POC03 is the current (net) amount on order before the quantity is applied. POC04 is the quantity to be subtracted or added based upon the code in POC02.
- The multi-SKU case pack is used by retailers to order cases packed with specific items, each with a specific quantity. This is similar to the dynamic assortment, however the unit of measurement code in POC05 is different for each use.
- For dynamic assortments, POC05 will contain code AS. This identifies the item listed in the Product/Service IDs as an assortment and the contents of the assortment are listed in subsequent SLN segments. For assortments, at least one occurrence of the Product/Service ID Qualifier and the Product/Service ID are required to identify the assortment. This may be a U.P.C., a vendor assigned number, or a retailer assigned number. There is no implication of packaging for assortments; this is part of the trading partners’ business practices. Assortments are primarily used as an ordering tool.
- For the multi-SKU case pack, POC05 will contain code CA, and there is no requirement to send a Product/Service ID in the POC segment. The use of code CA in POC05, and the presence of the SLN segments, informs the receiver to pack the cases with the SKUs and quantities in the SLN segments. The quantity in POC03 is the number of cases being ordered. Each SLN segment, that follows the POC segment, lists the Product ID, e.g., U.P.C., and the quantity of the SKU that is to be in the case. The total units in each case is the sum of the quantities in the SLN segment.
- When POC02 contains code PC, POC06 may be used to specify the new unit cost for the item, and the CTP segment immediately following may be used to specify the new price. The type of price is defined by CTP02.
Loop POC – SDQ Destination Quantity
- This segment is used to distribute the line item quantity to various locations. SDQ02 serves the same purpose as N103, and all occurrences of Data Element 67 in this segment function as N104. The SDQ segment functions as an N1 segment containing code BY in N101, that is, the SDQ segment specifies various buying locations. The N1 segment, in the basic order, specifies only one location.
