This subject came up just a couple weeks ago with a client. They received
ORDERS (similar to 850) and DELJIT (similar to 862) from a client. They
ignored the ORDERS and created a sales order based on the DELJIT. It worked
fine until there was a price increase between the receipt of the ORDERS and
the arrival of the DELJIT. The customer, oddly enough, thought he should
receive the price in effect when he placed the order, rather than when he
released the order for shipment. Because our client had created the sales
order weeks later than it was received, their INVOICes (like 810) were not
honored by the TP's A/P team because the price was "incorrect", and there
was a ton of money tied up. There was internal rancor, finger pointing,
etc., until the EDI team figured out what had taken place.
FWIW, our team had not implemented this questionable practice. We were
brought in to clean up this and other messes.
My advice is, if you are trying to circumvent the standard business document
flow in order to simplify, my advice is, don't do it. If, on the other
hand, your TP is not willing to send the PO, maybe it's time to direct your
efforts to educating them, or refer me and my team to them, and we'll
straighten them out.
