EDI 940 Warehouse Shipping Order
The EDI 940 transaction set is an electronic version of a paper Warehouse Shipping Order that complies with the ANSI X12 EDI specification. It is used by a supplier to advice a remote warehouse when to ship order/orders to a buyer. This transaction set can be used to confirm a shipment, or modify or cancel a previously transmitted shipping order and includes information about the destination of the shipment. The EDI 940 Warehouse Shipping Order is commonly used to authorize a third party warehouse to make a shipment to a buyer, such as a chain store retailer.
The 940 Warehouse Shipping Order data can be produced from Purchase Order information that was received from a buyer or from the supplier’s Sales Order.
The warehouse will respond to the shipping order with a 997 Functional Acknowledgment to indicate that the order was received.. Before the order is shipped, or at the approximately same time the order is shipped, the warehouse will send back to the supplier a 945 Shipment Advice. The 945 Shipment Advice can then be used by the supplier to send an 856 Advance Shipping Notice, and later, an 810 Invoice to the buyer company.
