850Buyer to Seller

An 850 EDI document is a Purchase Order used by a buyer to request goods or services from a supplier, detailing the items, quantities, and agreed prices. It serves as the initial step in the procurement process, formally documenting the buyer's intent to purchase and initiating the fulfillment process by the supplier.

When a seller receives an 850 EDI document, they should review the purchase order details to ensure they can fulfill the order as specified. This includes checking the quantities, item descriptions, prices, and delivery dates.
