DSW 860 EDI Purchase Order Change Request (Buyer Initiated) Mapping Notes (PID and SLN Segments)
DSW 860 EDI transaction mapping notes described in the post below give more 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 already mentioned in the previous posts, 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.
Loop PID – PID Product/Item Description
- The PID segment is used to provide product/item descriptions in text and or coded formats. The codes in PID04 are maintained by the VICS EDI SMC and are only printed in this guideline.
- This segment may be used to transmit semi-custom product descriptions, such as made-to-order window coverings, jewelry, furniture, apparel, automotive parts, and other customer specific products. When used for this purpose, PID04 will contain the multi-part VICS EDI Semi-Custom Product Description Code. The complete code list is contained in Section III. In addition to the VICS EDI Semi-Custom Product Description Code, PID05 may be used for text descriptions, PID06 for relative placement, and additional MEA segment(s) for actual measurement values
Loop SLN – SLN Subline Item Detail
- This segment can be used to specify the originally ordered SKU for substituted SKUs.
- This segment can also be used to specify SKU contents of an assortment. The assortment can be defined by the retailer or the vendor. The assortment identification is in the line item detail segment for the transaction. This segment may be used to specify partial deletions of SKUs ordered but not invoiced and/or shipped.
- If SLN03 contains code D or code I, then SLN04 and SLN05 are required.
- SLN segments shall only be passed for musical casepacks. In the instance of solid casepacks, order information shall be rolled up to the PO1 segment.
