Dow Inc. EDI 850 FAQ

Common questions about 850 Purchase Order transactions with Dow Inc..

What information does Dow Inc. include in an EDI 850 Purchase Order?

Dow Inc. EDI 850 Purchase Orders contain item-level detail including UPCs or GTINs, ordered quantities, unit pricing, ship-to addresses, and requested delivery dates.

Do I need to send an EDI 855 after receiving a Dow Inc. 850 Purchase Order?

Dow Inc. typically requires an EDI 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment for every 850 received. The 855 confirms that you received the PO and indicates whether you can fulfill it as ordered, need to modify quantities, or must reject specific line items. Most Dow Inc. compliance programs expect the 855 within 24 to 48 hours of PO receipt. Stacksync can generate and send 855 acknowledgments automatically based on your acceptance rules, ensuring you never miss a compliance deadline. A 997 Functional Acknowledgment may also be required as a separate technical receipt.
