Get Your New View Podcast


Dec 27, 2022

Welcome to Season 6 of Get Your New View!

For this season, we’ll be focusing on key documents used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), common errors users experience, and tips and tricks to make the most out of them.

In the first episode of the EDI series, we have Shawn Sissenwein walking us through the 846 Inventory Availability Form. Learn what it’s about, the problems you may encounter, and how to use it.

Essential points covered in this episode:

✔️ The 846 Inventory Availability Form is crucial. Your trading partners use this resource to get up-to-date information on how much inventory you have in your physical store or website. No more unfulfilled orders and insufficient inventory. 

✔️ Don’t show all your inventory. Identify how much you’ll display on your website or physical store. Showing only a certain percentage helps prevent outages and having insufficient stocks. How often you send this out also matters.

✔️ Ensure pricing is accurate. The 846 Form contains crucial numbers to track and trace orders. Make the most out of it. Double-check the prices for a seamless transaction with your trading partners.

✔️ The 846 Form has key components. These include:

  • Vendor number
  • Part number
  • UPC number
  • Pricing
  • On-hand quantity
