Huh? The 850 Purchase Order is typically produced by the BUYER and processed by the SELLER; the roles are reversed for the 856 Advance Shipping Manifest. I don't see how there can be a valid comparison of "how well they work," since they serve two totally different functions for two totally different parties. BTW for those who suggested my list of the "Big <number> EDI Documents" was lacking: The 812 and 820 are pretty much 'industry-agnostic' and the point I was trying to make is that the 'key' or 'most-used' EDI documents DO vary by industry. Then again, for years I've been harping on the concept that to 'do' EDI well, you must understand the industry in which you are currently working. Perhaps that concept is now outmoded? (Not that I'll agree with you). Specific industry aside, in this question we see a lack of understanding of the function of these two documents - or poor communications skills - at work. Oh, well, either deficiency is on The Fast Road to Failure so I guess it doesn't really matter which, does it? Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
