Most common alongside 862
The 862 carries a buyer's firm, near-term shipping requirements: exact quantities, ship or delivery dates, and ship-to locations, down to time-of-day via the JIT segment. It supplements a previously issued 830 planning schedule, superseding the forecast's shipping and delivery detail without replacing the 830 itself. It exists to support just-in-time manufacturing, where releases are issued daily or more often and can be triggered by inventory falling below a restock level. Sent by the buyer, typically a manufacturing plant running just-in-time replenishment, to its supplier; the 830 forecast and 862 releases operate as a pair.
When it fires: Inventory of a component at the buyer's plant drops below its restock threshold, or the plant firms its short-term build plan, and the scheduling system releases an 862 to the supplier.
Common 862 rejection causes
- Supplier continues building to the earlier 830 forecast after an 862 has superseded its shipping detail, causing over- or under-shipment.
- Multiple same-day 862 revisions for the same item applied out of sequence, so the supplier ships against a stale release.
- Wrong ship-to plant or dock identifiers when individual locations issue schedules independently of the consolidated planning schedule.
- Treating the 862 as authorization to commit labor or materials, which the specification explicitly states it does not provide.
