The Purchase Order Management [POM] program has been operational since September 3, 2002. The EDI 855 transaction (Purchase Order Acknowledgment for POM Purchase Orders) is a critical component in our continuing efforts to manage purchase orders more effectively.

Effective April 1, 2003, all Retail-POM suppliers must use the EDI 855, Version 4030, to acknowledge POM Purchase Orders. The temporary web screen currently available to acknowledge POM PO’s will be discontinued on this date. Failure to meet this requirement may result in expense offsets to your Company.

Effective immediately, all Retail-POM suppliers will be automatically setup as in Production on the EDI855 in Version 4030. Suppliers do not need to file the Form 9.2 for this change.
