Usage breakdown
Who trades X12 947 Warehouse Inventory Adjustment Advice
947 is used most heavily in logistics & transport, grocery & food and manufacturing & industrial.
The 947 reports changes a warehouse makes to inventory it holds for a trading partner: damage, theft, cycle-count variances, returns, or expiry. Each adjustment carries a reason code and quantity at the item level so the owner of the goods can post the same change in its own system. Depositors require it because sellable inventory recorded for a 3PL location must match what the warehouse actually has, or orders will be accepted against stock that does not exist. Sent by the 3PL or warehouse to the owner of the inventory, typically a manufacturer, supplier, or retailer. A cycle count, physical inventory, damage event, or product expiration at the warehouse changes on-hand quantity outside the normal ship and receive flow.
