Review the core transaction sets required to exchange orders, acknowledgments, shipments, and invoices with Kohler.
Kohler sends the 850 to initiate procurement; your system must acknowledge and process it accurately.
You respond with 855 to confirm order acceptance, changes, or rejections, closing the procurement loop.
The 856 details shipment contents and carton structure, tightly linked to barcode labels for receiving.
You submit the 810 to bill Kohler, referencing the PO and ASN to ensure accurate payment processing.
Kohler requires barcode labels and packing slips to match the 856 ASN exactly; misalignment causes delays and chargebacks.
Verify barcode symbology and label layout meet Kohler’s exact specifications to avoid scanning failures.
Each carton’s label content must match the corresponding line item in the 856 ASN for accurate receiving.
Packing slips must include the same order and carton details as the ASN, ensuring dock workers can reconcile shipments.
