About This ORDRSP Sample

The action code in LIN02 carries the answer for each line. A changed line repeats the ordered quantity and adds the quantity that will actually be delivered, with its date.

Buyers use the ORDRSP to update the open order, so send one whenever a line will not arrive as ordered.

For every segment the standard allows and how retailers use them, read the EDIFACT ORDRSP guide. To check a file of your own, paste it into the EDI Inspector, or browse all 22 EDI sample files.
