This is a topic that literally caused fist fights at an industry meeting a few years ago. As usual, whoever is the customer gets to decide, but industry groups develop best practices. The electronics industry diagram at http://eidx.comptia.org/image_maps/order_ordmodel1_activity.aspx may help.
The narration is at http://eidx.comptia.org/business_process/order/bm_ordmodel1.aspx. The complete collection of order models is at http://eidx.comptia.org/business_process/order/bm_ordmodel.aspx. A downloadable document that lists the EDI transactions is at http://eidx.comptia.org/guidelines/documents/ordmodlx.pdf.

O. Acknowledgement I'm interested in how you are using the 855 as a supplier. 1. Assume that a supplier acknowledges a P.O with a code 00 in BAK01 or changes a P.O with a code 04 in the BAK01 element. What isn't clear to me is what happens next. Does the customer then cancel the P.O. to reject the supplier's changes by returning an 855 with a code 01 in the BAK01 element, or confirm the supplier's changes by returning an 855 with a code 06 in the BAK01 element? Is the 855 a two-way document rather than a one-way document? What role does the P.O. Change Request (860) play in this negotiation? How else may the customer respond to the changes reported by the supplier in the 855 response to the P. O.? 2. What legal obligations are implied on the part of the supplier by acknowledging a P.O. with an 855? Does the 855 in conjunction with the P.O. create a contractual agreement with the supplier - that all products will be shipped in the quantities ordered at the prices ordered, including all discounts, credits and adjustments, to the locations ordered and delivered on the dates specified - the whole enchilada? If the 855 creates a contractual agreement, then it can not be sent until after the shipment has been delivered, unless the supplier is willing to accept legal responsibility for complying with all terms and conditions of the P.O., whether or not the supplier has control over them. Your thoughts?
