Wouldn't it be a whole lot simpler to create a separate 850 for Widget C? That's what I'd expect and insist on - regardless of the size of the gorilla.

[OT] - POs. As one of those "800 pound gorillas"..... Seriously, though, an 860 should NEVER be used as a NEW order.... It's just wrong and far too confusing.... However, I can think of at least one instance where it could be used... Let's say that I send a PO to XYZ Company for 10,000 quantity of widget A and 1000 of widget B to be sent over 10 months - I'll get 1100 widgets a month (A and B)... But then, about 3 months in, you come up with Widget C and present it and we buy it... well, we just can add it to our existing PO for A & B and now - viola! - you have an 860 that is a new order.... At least in theory.... And a typical blanket PO that may get sent via EDI (Coke, please provide us with enough Coke, Coke Zero, diet Coke, and Sprite to fill our coolers for 1 year). Then part way through the year, we add that Vault product to the list - again, it will create an 860 and it will (at least partially) be a "new order" for a product we've not purchased before... Of course, then there is the concept of "oops".... I create a PO and it generates the 850. But then I notice an "oops" and go into the PO and revise it and it generates the 860... But I figure I don't want you to be confused (HA!) so I delete the orginal 850 from My translator and leave the 860 in the system. The pre-determined time comes along and the 860 gets sent and the 850 never does... So, you get an 860 as an "original" order and you've never seen the original 850 PO.... How's THAT for an explanation..?!? Are you happy now, Leah...?!? Craig Dunham EDI Coordinator (is that the hat I'm wearing today...?)
