Order
Send order
An order is sent in the form of an EDI order, and specifies products / services ordered under the terms agreed between seller and buyer.
The order shall fulfil bilateral agreements specified in the EDI exchange agreement.
The order includes buyer and seller, product, quantity, desired delivery date and place of delivery.
The order must be sent in accordance with the agreed order stop time.
Possible corrections that can be made on an order after it has been sent:
- Cancellation of the order can be done in the following alternative ways:
- It is agreed on the telephone that the supplier must send an EDI order confirmation, with 0 in the amount on all product lines
- It is agreed on the telephone that the order is manually deleted in the system of both parties
- Additional Orders for delivery at the same time as the main order must be made within the agreed order stop time for the main delivery. This is done by placing an ordinary EDI order on the products and quantities to be ordered as well.
- Amendments on a dispatched order can be made in the following alternative ways:
- It is agreed that an EDI order confirmation will be sent with 0 on the item lines to be changed, upon which a new EDI order will be sent on the item lines that should be changed
- It is agreed on the phone that the original order is deleted, and that a new EDI order will be sent
- It is agreed on the telephone that an EDI order confirmation will be sent with 0 on all product lines, and there will then be sent a new EDI order
Special relationships related to order
The order number should be unique to each order sent from a buyer.
The supplier must reject an order where the order number is received and processed earlier.
For certain products, there is a bilateral agreement on how to split shelf life between the parties. Look to The establishment of bilateral agreements for the assessment of shelf life.
For EXW delivery terms, the rules dictate one order should only include one delivery from one pick-up point to one place of delivery and one desired delivery date.
For delivery terms where the supplier is responsible for transportation, the same applies, except that the order may contain deliveries from multiple locations.
Receipt of orders and return of order receipt
The supplier, if agreed upon in the EDI Exchange Agreement, shall return an EDI order receipt immediately after the order is received.
Order receipt has the function of confirming to the customer that the supplier has received the order. Order receipt contains no information on whether the customer receives the ordered products.
Receive order receipt
Upon reception of order receipt, it provides the customer with an assurance that the order was received by the supplier.
How order receipt is further used by the customer in internal systems is not covered by the guideline.
