Stacy,
We use the 943 in a very similar situation. Our customer sends us a
forecast of material they think they will need. We build to the forecast
and then send the material to a warehouse close to the customer. We use the
943 to alert the warehouse that goods are coming their way.
As you can see, we do use it as a warehouse replenishment document, and it
works fine. A difference from your scenario is that we send it at delivery
time, rather than response to a PO. It sounds like you need a shipping
document replacement for an 855. The 943 data requirements are fairly
simple, and I can send you an EDI Implementation Guide if that would help.

> I have a customer who is requesting a 943 be sent to them as a projected
> shipping document (this may include one purchase order or a consolidation
> of
> purchase orders). They would like to receive this document as a
> confirmation to a purchase order made by an offsite buyer to replenish
> their
> warehouse. This does not fall under the scope of the 943 as I read it.
> The
> X12 standards state the scope as:
>
> "The transaction set can be used by a depositor or an agent of the
> depositor
> to advise the recipient that a transfer shipment has been made. This
> transaction set provides a receiving location with detail information
> concerning product being shipped to that location."
>
> This document should be sent after the shipment has been made to inform
> the
> warehouse of the intended arrival date as well as the item detail. The
> warehouse does not receive the purchase order or have knowledge an order
> has
> been made without the 943. I have been searching the X12 standards for a
> document which will fit our needs and still follow the set standards. I
> need a document which will inform another party that an order has been
> placed for them which will include the items ordered and the potential
> delivery date.
>
> I would greatly appreciate any ideas on this subject.
