X12 850 Purchase Order

X12 Release 4030

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Purchase Order Transaction Set (850) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide for customary and established business and industry practice relative to the placement of purchase orders for goods and services. This transaction set should not be used to convey purchase order changes or purchase order acknowledgment information.

    Beginning Segment for Purchase Order

    RequiredMax use 1

    To indicate the beginning of the Purchase Order Transaction Set and transmit identifying numbers and dates

    Usage notes

    Transaction Set Purpose Code "00" (Original) is sent on all purchase orders where the usage indicator in ISA15 is "P" (Production). Transaction Set Purpose "05" (Replace) is used to identify Replacement Purchase Orders. Replacement PO is an option for communicating purchase order changes via the EDI 850 instead of the EDI 860 (Purchase Order Change) transaction set. The purchase order number in BEG03 will not change from the original order on a Replacement PO. Transaction Set PurposeCode "07" (Duplicate) is used only on purchase orders where the usage indicator in ISA15 is "T" (Test). "18" (Reissue) is used to identify a PO which is re-issued due to a cancellation via the EDI 860 (PO Change). The EDI 860 contains a transaction set purpose code of "17" (Cancel, to be re-issued).

    All Purchase Order Type Codes listed will be used in both Stores and eComm EDI 850 documents.
    Purchase Order Type Code "BK " (Blanket Order - Quantity Firm) is used to commit to specific items, quantities and time period in which they will be shipped. The Blanket Order (BK) will not provide any specific shipping information as it is used to commit to wholesale quantities only. Specific shipping information will be provided in purchase order types "RE", "RL" and "SA". The EDI 855 (PO Acknowledgment) will be required as confirmation for all Blanket Orders.

    When BEG02 = BK, BEG03 will be 12 digits (ie 300001234567)
    When BEG02 = RL, RE or SA, BEG03 will be 8 characters (alpha/numeric for eComm, numeric only for Stores)

    BEG06 is used on RL, SA, and RE purchase order types when there is an associated Blanket Order (BK). The contract number sent will be a 12 digits.

    BEG00BK300001234567~~20170624.

    Usage notes

    The CSH segment is used to indicate the ship date/order filling rules applicable to the order. This will be sent only on purchase order types RL, RE, and SA. Code P4 (Do Not Pre-Ship) indicates that the order must not be shipped prior the Requested (Earliest) ShipDate on the order. Sales Requirement Code SC (Ship Complete) and NS (No Substitutes) are related to order-filling rules. Code SC is used to indicate all merchandise on the order must be shipped together on one shipment. The only exception to this single shipment rule would be for orders too large to ship on one trailer. A split shipment of this order must be advised via the EDI 870 transaction ( see ISR segment requirements). This is typically used on "Bulk" orders. Code NS mandates that no substitutes are allowed for any items on the order. This segment may be repeated more than once.

For Purchase Order Types "RE", "RL", and "SA", Date/TimeReference Code "010" (Requested Ship) is the earliest date on which a supplier can ship any merchandise against the order. Purchase Order Types "BK", "RE", "RL", and "SA", Date/Time Reference Code "001" (Cancel After) is the last date on which a supplier can ship any merchandise against the order. If a supplier wants to ship against the order after this date, an EDI 870 must be sent providing an "Expected to Ship By Date". Date extensions are subject to an approval by the JCPenney Buyer.

    Usage notes

    The segment provides shipping instructions for an Expedited Order and basic routing. For basic routing (carrier details), suppliers must submit a request for routing through TMS (Transportation Management System).
    For an Expedited PO, the JCPenney Buyer will decide if a Purchase Order needs to be expedited and will work with the supplier to determine the appropriate party to pay the expedited freight charges. See examples for values sent in TD505.

    Usage notes

    Up to four N1 loops may be generated for each of the Entity Identifier Codes listed in N101. These loops are generated for purchase order types (BEG02) "RE", "RL", and "SA". For Purchase Orders containing the SDQ (Destination Quantity) segment, the Mark For Party (Z7) will not be included in the N1 segment but in the SDQ.

    Ship Point site will be identified in the N1 segment where the Entity Identifier Code "SF" (Ship From) is in N101, N102 contains the supplier's name and N104 is the 2-digit Ship Point location code (ie 00). An N4 segment will be included in this loop to identify the Ship Point site's geographic location (City, State and Zip Code).
