>and then i had a creative user that decided to use HL04 in the 856. why???????
I have used HL04 'on request' in '856' documents many times but now that you
bring it up, that does not make a lot of sense in most
cases.
Maybe the recipient wanted a 'positive' affirmation that "we tried to ship
parts from this order but didn't?"
The other alternative - "we shipped a bar-coded container containing no items"
is too weird to contemplate. (Or is it?)
Oh, I just thought of a use... if recipient allows sender to send *either*
S-O-I or S-O-I-P but package detail is not available
for some particular item, HL04 = '0' tells him not to error out the
transaction for missing HL/Package. (Or is that too weird,
too?)
Or maybe... at HL/Item (SOPIL structure), HL04=0 means "this item is not a
lot-controlled item so there are no subordinate HL/Lot
loops."
But overalll in the context of an Advanced Shipment Manifest reporting only
S,O,P,I... HL04 is kinda excess baggage.
