What is the EDI 850?
The EDI 850 is the electronic equivalent of a paper purchase order. A retailer or buyer uses it to order goods — including items, quantities, prices, ship-to locations, and requested delivery dates. It’s usually the first document in a retail EDI exchange and kicks off the order-to-cash cycle.
