Re: EDI 856 ASN Confirmation

I'm working on an EDI Advance Shipment Notice that has been in place for a
few years.

I can barely spell EDI and we don't do EDI translation locally; all EDI
translation is handled
by a national facility so that we send and receive "transaction flat
files" containing the data
required for our EDI Orders, Invoices, Ship Notices, etc.

One gap we have is getting a definitive "acknowledgement" that an ASN
document has
been received and successfully translated by our trading parter.

The trading partner we are more concerned with is a particularly large
one, and the best
we currently have is an acknowledgement they "received" an ASN document
for a particular
store for a particular delivery date.

There are a couple of known "error conditions" which may be returned to
us, but no confirmation
of the ASN being successfully translated, never mind any indication when
and if the document
was available to the store.

My question:
Is there a way, in the "EDI Standard" to get "positive confirmation" of an
EDI 856 ASN ?
