What is the EDI 846?

The EDI 846 communicates inventory availability — a supplier advising a buyer (or marketplace/dropship partner) of on-hand quantities, or a buyer inquiring about stock. It’s central to dropship and marketplace programs where the buyer needs near-real-time availability.

How EndlessEDI handles the 846
