One of
my clients (the vendor) has a customer that requires just this type of reverse
purchase order (RPO) relationship. The customer does this as
part of their supply chain management initiatives. It is essentially a VMI
approach (Vendor Managed Inventory). The vendor initiates the process by
generating an 855 based on customer inventory levels. This is sent to the
customer who processes it through their system. They in turn validate the
855 against point of sale information and generate an 850 which is transmitted
to the vendor. In this scenario 856's are being utilized as well as the
997. See below:
If you need additional information, I'd be happy
to speak with you offline.

Subject: vendor initiated purchase orderDoes anyone know of any companies doing "reverse 850's" in other words having a vendor issue an 855 prior to receiving an 850. The reason behind this question is that we want to allow our employees to select and order items through our trading partner's web site but we do not want to require double data entry.
