### Overview

The EDI ANSI X12 861 – Receiving Advice/Acceptance Certificate is an electronic transaction used by buyers to notify suppliers that goods have been received, inspected, and either accepted or rejected. It provides a formal acknowledgment of receipt, including details about discrepancies, damages, or quantity variances.

With TraceLink’s OPUS Platform and B2N Integrate-Once™ architecture, the EDI 861 transaction enables real-time confirmation of inbound shipments, improves inventory accuracy, and enhances supplier collaboration by automating the receiving process and reducing manual reconciliation.

### Key Use Cases

- Confirm receipt of goods from a supplier or 3PL.
- Notify suppliers of accepted, rejected, or damaged items.
- Support three-way match processes with purchase orders and invoices.
- Trigger inventory updates in ERP or warehouse management systems.
- Provide feedback to suppliers to improve order accuracy and fulfillment quality.
- Satisfy compliance requirements in regulated industries by documenting receipt and acceptance.

### Data Elements Included

An EDI ANSI X12 861 – Receiving Advice Acceptance transaction includes:

- Receiving Advice Number and Date: Unique identifier and timestamp of the receiving event.
- Purchase Order Reference: Links the receipt to the original EDI 850 order.
- Shipment and ASN Reference: Ties the receipt to the EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice.
- Item Identifiers: GTIN, NDC, SKU, or internal product codes.
- Quantities Received, Accepted, and Rejected: Includes reasons for rejections or discrepancies.
- Lot/Serial Numbers (if applicable): For serialized or lot-controlled products.
- Receiving Location: Warehouse or facility where the goods were received.
- Condition Codes: Indicate damage, shortage, overage, or other exceptions.
- Comments or Notes: Additional feedback on the receipt or inspection.

### Benefits of EDI ANSI X12 861 – Receiving Advice Acceptance

- Improves inventory accuracy by capturing real-time receiving data.
- Automates three-way match between PO, ASN, and invoice for faster reconciliation.
- Reduces disputes and chargebacks by documenting discrepancies at the point of receipt.
- Enhances supplier performance tracking through structured feedback on fulfillment quality.
- Supports compliance and audit readiness in regulated industries like pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
