Thanks for that, Phil... And just for clarification - I'm using X12 - v 4010 for My standards. I'm looking (right now) at using the QTY loop and segment, as well as the AMT segment for the total units ordered and total dollar value of the PO.
Any other ideas or common practices out there...? Craig E.

Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [EDI-L] Revision to the PO Map (850). Some of the vendors put it in the Special Service codes, giving the percent and the total amt. of allowance taken. They use an AMT segement. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dunham Craig E. Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 11:58 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [EDI-L] Revision to the PO Map (850). OK, I'm seeking advice from the group... My accounting department (ok, one guy) is saying that our vendor community can't seem to get the concept of figuring out allowances for invoices. Here's an example - Cost - $10.00 Allowance - 10% Quantity - 1000 Just using that simple concept - it's basic math - not far and above the 6th grade... You'd set it up like this: (C*A)*Q=Net Cost Right? I mean, am I over simplifying this...? To all of you on the "vendor/supplier/manufacturer" side of the coin - are your systems so ... stupid ... that they can't do a simple calculation such as this? But, I digress - as usual. Instead of putting the onus of the math on the vendor side, this genius in accounting wants us to transmit a total dollar value of the invoice (with allowances applied) and a total number of units being ordered. His thought process is that the vendor (i.e. you) would be able to balance the incoming dollar amount of the PO against your sales order and also against the invoice(s) generated by the sales order. So, I know that I can use the AMT segment for the total dollar value of the PO. That's kind of a given. But I can't seem to find a segment to use to populate the total quantity being ordered. I was thinking of using the "hash total" in the CTT segment, but that's having the translation process add up those numbers. Our programmers have captured the total value and quantity during the PO creation/printing process and populate some data fields that I can then map from - a fixed number, calculated by the program - and populate the 850 map to be sent. So, the question is - where do I put the data...? Your suggestions? Where do you see the data (if you receive a PO) or where do you put it (when you send a PO)....? Craig E.
