This specification provides the definition of the Purchase order change request message (ORDCHG) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.

A message from the buyer to the seller, specifying details of the buyer's request to change a purchase order.

The Purchase order change request message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.

A buyer may request to change, or eventually cancel one or more goods items or services.

A purchase order change request may refer to goods items or services related to one or more delivery schedules, call-offs, etc.

A purchase order change request for cross-border transactions may contain additional information for customs and/or statistical purposes.

A purchase order change request may contain details for transport and destination as well as delivery patterns.

See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1.

See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2.

This section should be read in conjunction with the segment table which indicates mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements.

For guidance, the following principles serve to remove ambiguity in the application of an EDI Purchase Order Change.

All specified dates/times should be in the format 'ccyymmdd'/'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree that there is a functional requirement for an alternative format. Periods should be specified as whole numbers representing the required period as indicated in the format qualifier (weeks, months, etc.).

Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element should be used wherever possible.

Conditional data that is not required in the message should not be included.

Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent segments do not conflict with the segment qualifier of the trigger segment of a group.

Free text information within the message should be avoided as this inhibits automatic processing.

Information to be provided in the Header section:

0010 UNH, Message header

A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message. The message type code for the Purchase order change request message is ORDCHG.

Note: Purchase order change request messages conforming to this document must contain the following data in segment UNH, composite S009:

0020 BGM, Beginning of message

A segment by which the sender must uniquely identify the order change by means of its number and when necessary its function.

If an Order is to be cancelled, use of Message Function Code (D/E: 1225) '1' indicates that the transmitted message requests a complete cancellation of a referenced Purchase Order. All data is to be cancelled.

If an Order is to be changed, use of Message function code '4' indicates that the transmitted message requests specified changes of the referred Purchase Order.

If an Order is to be replaced, use of Message Function Code '5' indicates that the transmitted message effects a complete replacement of the referenced Purchase Order. All data are to be replaced in their entirety by that in the current message.

If an Order response with changes is to be confirmed, use of Message Function Code '6' indicates the confirmation by the buyer of amendments proposed by the seller.

If an Order is to be duplicated, use of Message Function Code '7' indicates that the transmitted message is an exact duplication of a previous Purchase Order Change Request.

If an order is to be cancelled and to be re-issued, use of Message Function Code '17' indicates that the transmitted message effects a complete cancellation of the referenced Purchase Order, and that a Purchase Order will be issued.

If only the heading section of an order is to be replaced, use of Message Function Code '20' indicates that the transmitted message effects changes in Heading Section data only. The complete Heading Section data is transmitted to replace all data previously sent. Detail and Summary Section data remain unchanged.

If only item detail and summary is to be replaced, use of Message Function Code '21' indicates that the transmitted message effects changes in Detail Section data, and may affect Summary data. Heading Section data remains unchanged.

To indicate the last and final release of an order, use Message Function Code '22'.

If an order is to be placed on hold, use of Message Function Code '23' indicates that the processing against the referenced purchase order has been suspended until further release information. An order placed on hold is subsequently released by Message Function Code 'XX'.

If an Order is to be accepted without amendment, use of Message Function Code '29' indicates that the buyer accepts the reference message without amendments.

If an order is to be Changed in detail section, use of Message Function Code '36' indicates that the transmitted message requests specified changes in data in the Detail section. Changes are indicated at the line item level.
