Sometimes it depends on "why" it is "not accepted"

If you have an invalid part number, a lot of ERP and/or EDI systems can't 
handle that when generating whatever input is required to create an '855' .. 
so they don't.

OTOH, if the item is not accepted because "not available from stock"  (with 
standing instructions or PO data meaning 'fill and kill')  then that usually 
CAN be easily included on the 855.

It's really by partnership agreement....  the ACK segment offers a bunch of 
status  and reason codes partners may agreee to exchange.

As a 'buyer'  I would personally like to receive an acknowlegment for each 
line of every order, but because deep down inside I am just one hell of a 
guy, if producing an ACK for an invalid part is a problem for you, I'll just 
adjust my ACK processing software to inderstand "no ack for a line= invalid 
part=assume canceled"
