Roy posted the question:
"The problem is that once they setup a quantity for a given day,
it will never be changed, Or resent.?Any additional EDI received
will only be a new requirement. That means that I can have values
from several different EDI transmissions which all may contain
valid data.?Their will not be any One Transmission that will
have "Everything"."
Roy - you must be in the auto industry. If so welcome to the wonderful world of
RAN numbers.
We currently use this proccess for a net based ordering system (on the 862
document) and we
use the 830 (Planning Schedule) for the forecasting (going off of a CUMmuluative
quantity).
A RAN is a release authorization number (kinda of like a PO Number) that gets
generated
when demand is needed. The best business practice is to send the 862 as an
original (BSS-01
equals a 00). This method is used best with KANBAN orders (card scanning -
orders on demand)
and with multiple orders sent out during the day.
In most cases - the RAN or PO number will be sent on the barcode, this way the
receiving
side can adjust the open quantity against that RAN/PO. This number will then
appear on
the check sent out to you.
Let me tell you that sending them as an original is the best way - we have been
sending
862's as a replace and has caused mass confusion - the TP's will sometimes
double ship
because they might have orders in transit and we send them the open order - so
they reopen
it. With an original - your system will track the shiping again that order, and
there is
less confusion.
Let me know if you have specifics that I might be able to help you out with.
