Orchard EDI Invoicing Operation Requirements
Orchard EDI Invoicing Completion/ Submission is processed using an EDI 810 Invoice. Invoices must be completed and submitted at the time of shipment following the guidelines below:
- Invoice only for items and quantities shipped.
- Create a separate invoice for each PO.
- Use the same unit of measure as on the PO (each, pair, set, pack) except for assortments and pre-packs. For pre-pack orders, do not use the quantity of pre-packs on the invoice. Use the total quantity shipped of the item number.
- Mandatory: Send the Orchard SKU number for each line item on the invoice.
- Itemize and identify pre-ticketing, freight, allowances, or discounts separately from the item cost.
- Insure the invoice cost is the same as the purchase order cost. If the cost that appears on the PO differs from the negotiated cost, contact the merchant to resolve the discrepancy prior to shipment. Insure the invoice reflects any changes communicated by Orchard. Do not substitute items without Orchard merchant’s authorization. Upon authorization, the PO must be updated before shipments are received.
