EDI Response Builder: 855, 856 and 810 from an 850

Usually three documents. The 855 purchase order acknowledgment confirms, changes or rejects each line. The 856 advance ship notice tells the buyer what is in each carton, with an SSCC number per carton, before the truck arrives. The 810 invoice bills what shipped at the agreed prices. Most retailers also expect a 997 functional acknowledgment for each file they send.

No. Everything is built in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere, including to OrderSync. Copy or download the EDI and send it through your own EDI connection or web EDI portal after you have checked it.

An SSCC-18 is an extension digit, your GS1 company prefix, a serial number and a check digit. Enter your prefix and the next serial once; each carton takes the next serial and the check digit is calculated for you. Never reuse a serial within a year, and print the same numbers on your GS1-128 carton labels.

Yes. Each line can be accepted, backordered, changed (quantity, price or both) or rejected. The 855 carries the matching line status codes (IA, IB, IQ, IP, IC, IR), and the 856 and 810 only ship and bill what you confirmed, at the confirmed price.

The drafts echo the references retailers check, such as department and vendor numbers, and the builder shows what the retailer says about the 855, 856 and 810 when it recognises the sender. Your partner's implementation guide is the final word on optional segments, so compare against it before your first live send.

Every draft is checked with the same validator as the EDI Inspector: envelope counts, control numbers, CTT line counts, GS1 check digits and dates. The status above each draft says whether it validates clean.
