EDI 830 Example
Data contents of the Planning Schedule with Release Capability Transaction Set
(830) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) envi-ronment.
The transaction set can be used to provide for customary and estab-lished
business practice relative to the transfer of forecasting/material release
information between organizations.
The planning schedule transaction may be used in various ways or in a com-bination
of ways, such as: (1) a simple forecast; (2) a forecast with the buyer's
authorization for the seller to commit to resources, such as labor or material;
(3) a forecast that is also used as an order release mechanism, containing
such elements as resource authorizations, period-to-date cumulative quanti-ties,
and specific ship/delivery patterns for requirements that have been rep-resented
in "buckets," such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly. The order
release forecast may also contain all data related to purchase orders, as
required, because the order release capability eliminates the need for discrete
generation of purchase orders.
