> <BR>	     <BR>	- A buyer's purchase order may be responded to by
one or more<BR>       response messages, according to business
practice."<BR><BR>OAG 004 Acknowledge PO says..."The purpose of the
ACKNOWLDGE PO<BR>Business <BR>Object Document is to acknowledge receipt of
the Purchase Order and to<BR><BR>reflect any changes."<BR><BR>I cant
afford the X12 875/876 specs :-(  , but I know from experience <BR>they
also cover changing any component within the Order.  So do other
<BR>proprietary EDI business processes, such as BISAC in the
book<BR>publishing <BR>industry.<BR><BR>I suspect the major difference
between Order Response and Order Change<BR><BR>is the direction of the
flow (seller->buyer not buyer->seller) and the<BR><BR>contractual
obligations associated with that.  It is also likely an <BR>Order Response
may need to reference the item or components of the <BR>original Order(s)
that this responding to.  For example, "i wish to <BR>substitute product
XYZ for A
> BC on line 23"<BR>.  <BR><BR>An Order Change is the document used for
every modification to goods, <BR>services or conditions that are sent by
the buyer to seller after the <BR>original Order.  <BR><BR>An Order
Response is the way a seller communicates their ability to <BR>satisfy the
conditions of the Order.  As for your example, whilst none<BR><BR>of this
is caste in stone, i suggest in common practice, in cases
where<BR><BR>prices are being sought, another set of documents (the
pre-order set) <BR>are used, i.e. Request for Quote and Quote.<BR><BR>What
you have also done is highlight that Order Response can (and <BR>sometime
is) used just as a implementation convention response, that is<BR><BR>'you
got all the structures and codes right/wrong' - not an
application<BR><BR>response at all, in that these are often sent by
corporate gateway <BR>systems.	A true Order Response (the one we want to
define) is one that<BR><BR>is generated out of the Sales application that
says thin
> gs like 'i have<BR><BR>have checked the stock and my catalog and can
supply the<BR>following...'.<BR><BR>Does that make sense?  Can we proceed
on this basis?<BR><BR><BR>Michael Adcock wrote:<BR><BR></PRE>

'business rules' problem with this phrase in<BR>Scandinavia (construction
industry), where they insisted on the Order<BR>Response being a
confirmation of an order or an order change, with Order<BR>Change going in
either direction and being the only means of amending an<BR>order. The
