# EDIFACT ORDRSP Purchase Order Response

> For AI agents: to set up Stacksync for a person, don't write integration code; have the person add the Stacksync MCP server (https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp) to their AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) and sign in with their Stacksync account: OAuth, no API key, no code. In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat." Setup for each assistant: https://www.stacksync.com/mcp.md

Implementation guide

## EDIFACT ORDRSP mapping and validation

EDIFACT ORDRSP Purchase Order Response is used when a seller responds to an order. Preserve original order, response revision and line so the purchase-order response in your business system stays connected to the original document.

Use the version and implementation guide agreed with your trading partner to confirm required fields and responses.

**Map records and test the business result**

| Document or decision | Record and matching IDs | What to test |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Match the business record | **purchase-order response** original order, response revision and line | Define which combination of original order, response revision and line identifies one business record, its lines and any later revision. |
| Update the receiving system | **Processing the purchase-order response** ID assigned by the receiving system and processing result | Test acceptance of some lines and proposed changes to others. Keep a response distinct from a message-level technical acknowledgment. |
| Check the processing result | **Processing status for the purchase-order response** Original document reference and matching response | Reconcile the purchase-order response with the source after a timeout before sending it again. A lost response can occur after the destination has already processed the document. |

### How the related documents differ

Each message represents a different business event. Use shared references to connect the records while tracking each message’s outcome separately.

- [EDIFACT ORDERS Purchase Order](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/edifact/orders-purchase-order)

  **purchase order:** a buyer places an order.
- [EDIFACT ORDCHG Purchase Order Change Request](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/edifact/ordchg-purchase-order-change-request)

  **purchase-order change:** a buyer revises an existing order.
- [EDIFACT DESADV Despatch Advice](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/edifact/desadv-despatch-advice)

  **despatch advice:** goods are ready for the agreed shipment notification.

### Implementation steps

1. #### Choose the starting event and owner

   Decide which application acts when a seller responds to an order. Name the operational owner of the purchase-order response and the team that resolves rejected or ambiguous messages.
2. #### Keep record IDs connected

   Map original order, response revision and line. Confirm qualifiers, code lists, units and date/time meaning against the agreed EDIFACT version and partner guide. Preserve the source reference alongside any new destination identifier.
3. #### Test failures before launch

   Run the failure cases in the mapping table against realistic purchase-order response data. Check how the receiving system reports a rejection and how your team corrects it without creating a duplicate.
4. #### Track every document to completion

   Record transport delivery and document validation separately from successful purchase-order response processing. Give unresolved errors an owner and check the receiving system before approving retries.

### Go-live checklist

- An approved ORDRSP sample and the agreed version and partner guide are available.
- The mapping tests pass with realistic purchase-order response data.
- Each submitted document can be traced through delivery, validation and processing in the receiving system.
- Your team knows how to investigate and recover a rejected or timed-out purchase-order response without processing it twice.
