Most common alongside 870
On Rithum, 870 runs on 10 channels.
The 870 is the seller's report of where a customer's order stands. It can cover the full order, specific line items, or selected products, with shipped, backordered, and cancelled quantities and revised dates. It is sent either in response to an 869 Order Status Inquiry or proactively on a prearranged schedule, such as when inventory is allocated. Buyers require it to plan around delays without manual follow-up. The supplier or vendor sends the 870 to the buyer, either as a reply to the buyer's 869 inquiry or on an agreed reporting schedule.
When it fires: A supplier's system reaches a reporting milestone, such as inventory allocation or a change in expected ship date, or receives an 869 inquiry, and generates an 870 with the current order status.
Common 870 rejection causes
- Status report codes applied inconsistently across line items, so buyers cannot reliably distinguish shipped, backordered, and cancelled quantities.
- Reported quantities that do not reconcile against the original purchase order lines, creating false shortage or overage signals.
- Missing or incorrect purchase order references, leaving status updates that cannot be attached to an open order.
- Scheduled status reports that stop arriving at the agreed interval, which buyers often treat as a vendor compliance issue.
