Continental sends 830 to forecast demand and authorize releases, driving production planning and material procurement.
The 862 provides precise shipping instructions, often overriding the 830, requiring immediate ERP synchronization.
Continental issues 850 for discrete orders; accurate acknowledgment and fulfillment are critical to avoid penalties.
The 856 ASN must detail carton contents and match barcode labels exactly to prevent receiving dock rejections.
The 810 invoice is sent after shipment, referencing the ASN and PO to ensure accurate, timely payment.
