Usage breakdown

Who trades X12 870 Order Status Report

870 is used most heavily in apparel & footwear, retail and furniture & home.

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. 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.
