6.9 When should I expect to see an 860?

Updated on

An 860 is an EDI Transaction initiated by ATS that indicates a PO Change.

Steps in the screenshots correspond to the numbers in the headings.

1. Regardless of whether the vendor is set to Process Changes in the Supplier record or not, an 860 document will ALWAYS be sent on POST in the following scenarios:

1.1. ATS Initiates a change request BEFORE receiving an 855

1.2. ATS Initiates a change request AFTER receiving an 855

1.3. Vendor has requested any changes via an 855 and ATS processes those changes

1.4. ATS has performed receipts and then reversed those receipts and initiates a change request (Qty and/or price)

In each case, an event will track the sending of the 860 in the PO Events.

2. Times when ATS does NOT send an 860 include:

2.1. ATS sends 850 and vendor accepts all lines.  In this case the PO will auto-post to SAP.  There is no need for an 860.

2.2. ATS sends 850 and vendor rejects all lines.  The buyer performs a Complete Copy and Cancels the PO.  As the VENDOR was the party that rejected the original PO, there is no need for ATS to send out an 860.

2.3. In a situation where ATS sends 860 asking for changes, and the vendor responds with an 855 accepting changes, the PO will auto-post the changes to SAP.  Because the vendor accepted our change request, another 860 does NOT need to be sent.

2.4. If ATS sends 860 initiates changes, and vendor responds with an 855 rejecting changes, the PO will simply reverts back to previous state.
