Usage breakdown
Who trades X12 861 Receiving Advice Acceptance Certificate
861 is used most heavily in agriculture, manufacturing & industrial and electronics & technology.
The 861 notifies a supplier of the receipt or formal acceptance of goods. It reports quantities received against what was ordered and flags damaged, rejected, or contested quantities through receiving-condition detail, with the BRA segment distinguishing a receiving advice from an acceptance certificate. Buyers use it to document delivery condition at the dock so discrepancies are resolved from a shared record rather than ad hoc correspondence. Sent by the receiving party, the buyer or its warehouse or 3PL, to the supplier after a shipment has been checked in. Dock staff complete check-in of a delivery and post the goods receipt; the 861 carries the counted, accepted, and rejected quantities back to the supplier.
