Usage breakdown
Who trades X12 879 Price Information
879 is used most heavily in grocery & food.
The 879 carries item cost data between grocery trading partners: original prices for new items, changes to existing prices, and confirmations that pricing was received. Buyers load it into their cost files ahead of orders so later invoices match on price, which reduces deductions and invoice-matching disputes. It follows UCS grocery guidelines; general merchandise retailers typically carry the same data on an 832 Price/Sales Catalog. A supplier, manufacturer, or broker sends the 879 to a retailer, distributor, or buying organization, which confirms receipt with a 997 Functional Acknowledgment. A supplier creates a new item or approves a cost change in its ERP and must publish the price and its effective date to buyers before orders and invoices reference it.
