    EDI 860 - Purchase Order Change Request - Buyer Initiated

    The EDI 860 communicates changes to an existing purchase order including quantity, price, or item modifications.

    What Is the EDI 860?

    The EDI 860 Purchase Order Change Request is used to modify an existing purchase order after it has been submitted. Changes can include quantity adjustments, price corrections, item substitutions, date changes, or shipping instruction modifications.

    Common Change Scenarios

    Purchase order changes occur frequently in supply chain operations:

    • Quantity adjustments due to inventory availability or demand changes.
    • Price corrections reflecting negotiated discounts or cost updates.
    • Ship date modifications due to production or logistics delays.
    • Item substitutions when original products are unavailable.
    • Address changes for alternate delivery locations.

    Processing PO Changes

    Proper handling of 860s requires updating the original PO in your system, validating the changes against business rules, and sending an 865 (PO Change Acknowledgment) to confirm. Automated change processing prevents errors that occur when changes are handled manually.
