The 852 EDI document type is used to report inventory counts and changes to the inventory. The most common type of change is sales to the customer, but inter-store transfers and returns also fall under this. The 852 EDI document can also indicate returns to the supplier or any other change in inventory.
What makes up the 852 Product Activity Data document?
An 852 EDI Product Activity Data is organized into the following segment and data elements. A segment can contain at least one data element. Each data element contains a data field. Data elements could include vendor number, item, quantity, and type of inventory change, identical to paper product activity data. There are an infinite number of possibilities available for a company to include data on an 852 Product Activity Data.
How is it used?
The 852 Product Activity Data can be sent out to trading partners, suppliers, or other stores in the case of a chain, at regular intervals or after a major change in inventory outside of usual scheduling.
