I dont think this is a case were the 855 is being sent before the 850. When
your customer orders via the telephone and the customer entry team enters the PO
information (850) that is just a manual why of receiving the 850. You then send
your 855 for that manual 850 that was entered.
Also someone mentioned that there customers have been going to a market place to
place an order. Still the purchase order (850) is being created first. yes, in
both cases the first EDI transaction is the 855 but, also in both cases some
kind of order is created first.

=->Our company does this. It is a matter of customer relations with one of our
=->larger customers. It work likes this: a buyer from customer calls one of
=->our salespersons to place an order; the salesperson enters the order into
=->our ordering system; when the order is approved an 855, order confirmation
=->is sent to the customer; when the customer receives the 855 it is
=->automatically entered into their order system and saves rekeying on their
=->part. Maybe this is a reverse procedure but it does help maintain good
=->relations with this customer.

=->I have never heard of that and if you want my opinion that sounds like it
=->would
=->not work. if they (your tp's) send you an acknowledgment to a purchase
=->order
=->they have yet to receive what do they do if the purchase order they receive
=->and
=->have already acknowledged is wrong? How does the tp know the purchase order
=->number they are to acknowledge without having the purchase order? What
=->would
=->happen if there are price changes? There is a lot of information from the
