Usage breakdown
Who trades EDIFACT PURCHASE Order
PURCHASE is used most heavily in manufacturing & industrial, retail and apparel & footwear.
ORDERS is the UN/EDIFACT purchase order, specifying the goods or services ordered under conditions agreed between buyer and seller: products, quantities, prices, delivery dates, and delivery locations. It plays the same business role as the X12 850 and starts the order-to-cash cycle; the supplier acknowledges receipt with a CONTRL message and typically answers with an order response. Line items are carried in LIN/QTY/PRI segments, with parties identified in NAD and the order number in BGM. The buying organization (retailer, manufacturer, or distributor) sends ORDERS to the supplier; a distributor may also convert a customer order into an upstream ORDERS to its own supplier. The buyer's ERP or replenishment system releases an approved purchase order to a supplier, or a VMI calculation triggers an automated order.
