Receiving Advice/Acceptance Certificate

Based on the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 format, the 861 can be used to report receipt of shipments by the retailer to the supplier in a vendor-managed, stock-replenishment program. The received shipments are identified by the container ID number, e.g., GS1-128 carton or pallet ID or by vendor-order number. This notification provides an exact receipt date to the vendor, which is input to the replenishment system to relieve the in-transit position. Positive receipt acknowledgment increases the accuracy of the modeling process. The Receiving Advice Transaction set (861) is also used to report receipt of shipments by the sender to the receiver of the transaction in third party receiving scenarios.
