Re: [ubl-lcsc] [Order Response]Re: Getting started on Order Respo nse

The Order Acknowledgement is used to confirm some PO information ( i.e.
supplier code, total quantities ordered, total amount ) are correct and can
be processed downstream.  If incorrect information found, system will send a
Rejection to the PO submitted. Order Acknowledgement is sent from Buyer to
Seller.

The Order Exception (order change) is used to inform the customer, airlines,
about changes to their PO submitted (i.e. part number replacement,
quantities increased/decreased, unit of measure changes, schedule ship date
changes, and unit price changes).  Order Exception is sent from Seller to
Buyer.  If Buyer decided to make changes to the original PO, Buyer will
submit a new PO, not an Order Exception.

Thanks,
Sally Chan

Hi Tim!

The one thing that I baulk at just a little is what UN/EDIFACT ORDRSP
says under 1.3 Principles, " - a proposal of amendment..." I recall that
we ran into a scope and 'business rules' problem with this phrase in
Scandinavia (construction industry), where they insisted on the Order
Response being a confirmation of an order or an order change, with Order
Change going in either direction and being the only means of amending an
order. The seller substituting an item would raise an Order Change, and
the buyer would respond with the confirming order Response. 
The Order response is therefore a business conf
irmation of 'what is'.

I feel we should wait and see what reaction comes from people on the
circulation. So, is there anybody there with a comment, please...
