Who trades EDIFACT PURCHASE Order Change Request
PURCHASE is used most heavily in e-commerce & marketplaces.
ORDCHG is the buyer's formal amendment to a previously transmitted EDIFACT ORDERS message. It references the original order number and states which line items are to be added, deleted, or changed, along with revised quantities, delivery dates, or a full cancellation. Suppliers require it so their order book reflects the current state of the order rather than the version originally placed, avoiding shipments built against superseded instructions. The buyer sends ORDCHG to the seller or supplier, who typically answers with an ORDRSP order response accepting or rejecting the requested changes. A buyer's procurement or ERP system modifies an open purchase order after the ORDERS message has been sent, for example a quantity revision, a delivery date move, or a cancellation.
