Line item changes (IC) are not accepted via EDI. Please contact the buyer before making any changes to the Insight PO.
The below ACK segments are describing a PO with an original quantity of seven:
Line Item Accepted; No changes:
ACK*IA*7*EA*055*20060425
Line Item Rejected; The quantity in ACK02 must equal the quantity from the original purchase order line: ACK*IR*7*EA
Line Item Fully Backordered; The quantity in ACK02 must equal the quantity from the original purchase order line: ACK*IB*7*EA*068*20060505
Line Item Partially Backordered; If an item has been partially accepted and the remainder has been backordered, we would expect an ACK segment for the quantity accepted (ACK*IA) and another ACK segment for the quantity Backordered (ACK*IB)For Example: The original PO contained a line item which asked for a quantity of 7. Of that 7, only 3 could be shipped
nd 4 went on backorder. The following should be sent:
ACK*IA*3*EA*055*20060428
ACK*IB*4*EA*068*20060519
