The EDI 870 Order Status Report transaction set is commonly used by vendors to report on the current status of a customer’s order. Each status report transaction refers to a customer’s single order but it can involve multiple previously-sent purchase orders. The 870 is replacing what is known as a Paper Status Report, which provides details on where an order is in production. EDI 870 can include but is not limited to:
- Vendor Details
- Order Status Details
- Explanation Of Status
- Reference Identifying The Specific Order
- Details Of Order: Price, Quantity, Item, Etc.
The EDI 870 transaction can be implemented to report complete orders, focusing on line items within an order or selected products/services in that purchase order. It may also be used to update the supplier’s shipment schedule or delivery dates. The 870 could be sent as a result of an Order Status Inquiry (EDI 869 transaction) that’s received from a trading partner. In addition to that, 870 transactions could potentially be used to prearranged schedules but only when inventory is allocated to such an order.
