EDI 855 is also known as purchase order acknowledgement which is mainly used by sellers to confirm the receipt of the earlier sent purchase order (EDI 850) from the buyer and it eliminates the fax and call confirmation. EDI 850 notifies the buyer that purchase orders have been received and proceed, but EDI 855 provides detail and accuracy of the product and your ability to meet the product requirement specifications. This EDI 855 document includes some of the essential information of the product like PO number, product information, inventory out-of-stock, discounted items and many more.
