Re: using EDI 856 to send shipping carton detail info

Thanks for the SAC segment. To date I have customized the EDI message to
whatever the other side wanted. And we don't use a translator package. Just
RPG procedures that parse and compose the messages. Now there is a
requirement to send an 856 to an application on the same system. From the
WMS to the OMS. So I want to send all the info that the warehouse system
has on a shipment to the order system.

Yes, you can report quite a bit of information at the carton level - Pack
level in 856 terms. You would use the SAC segment to report any charges.
Do you have access to the EDI standards? They will show everything that
can be sent on any EDI document.

Of course making it all work properly depends on what systems you're using
and their capabilities. Here, we use JD Edwards World and Trusted Link.
It can be a challenge at times meeting all of our trading partners'
requirements.

can an EDI 856 be used to report the contents of each carton being shipped?

The 856s I have been sending are pretty much shipment versions of an 850.
Where the LIN and SN1 segments of the 856 match up with the PO1 segments
of the 850. And tracking numbers are sent in REF segments or in MAN
segments at the P Package HL level of the 856.

I want to include the shipping charge for each package in the 856.

But also more detail as to the contents of each carton being shipped. Can
the 856 be used for carton level detail?

thanks,
