DETAIL
0200 Looprequired
W04
Item Detail Total W04
The seller’s style number and UPC or EAN will always be transmitted.
The W0402 element will identify whether the current UPC is a pre-pack UPC or a single size (open size/stock) UPC. If W0402 = ‘PK’ then the UPC is a pre-pack UPC. If W0402 = ‘EA’ then the UPC is a single size (open size/stock) UPC.
Regardless of whether W0402 is ‘EA’ or ‘PK’, the number of units shipped will ALWAYS be the total number of units. For a pre-pack this means this is NOT the total number of prepacks but rather the total number of units that would have been packed into all the pre-packs. The total number of prepacks and the number of units per pre-pack will be sent in the child W20 element (see W20 Segment below).
The W0415 value (the sender PO number) MUST be captured and sent back on the 944 when confirming actual receipts against this PO/UPC.
