EDI 865 Purchase Order Change Acknowledgement/Request - Seller Initiated

EDI 865 is an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) document known as the Purchase Order Change Acknowledgment/Request. It is used by a supplier to acknowledge and confirm the receipt of a Purchase Order Change Request (EDI 860) or to request changes to an existing purchase order. It communicates the acceptance, rejection, or modification of the requested changes.

An EDI 865 document includes details such as the original purchase order number, the status of the requested changes (accepted, rejected, or modified), and specific details about the changes, including quantities, dates, prices, and product specifications. It may also contain comments or explanations for the acceptance or rejection of the changes.

EDI 865 benefits businesses by providing a standardized and efficient method for handling and confirming purchase order changes. It reduces the time and effort required to process order changes, minimizes the risk of errors, and improves communication between buyers and suppliers. This leads to smoother transaction flows, better inventory management, and enhanced supplier relationships.

EDI 865 is transmitted between trading partners using standard EDI communication protocols such as AS2, FTP, or VAN (Value Added Network). These protocols ensure that the data is securely and reliably transferred, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the information exchanged.

EDI 865 is commonly used in industries where managing purchase order changes is crucial, such as retail, manufacturing, automotive, and wholesale distribution. These industries often deal with complex supply chains and frequent order modifications, making the EDI 865 an essential tool for maintaining efficient and accurate communication regarding order changes.
