EDI 846

An EDI 846 is a type of digital business document called the Inventory Inquiry/Advice. It plays a pivotal role in the ecosystem of EDI transactions within inventory management. It standardizes the format of an electronic message that businesses use to communicate inventory levels, whether to inquire about the inventory status of a supplier or to advise a customer or partner about product availability. This document type facilitates a transparent, efficient exchange of inventory information, enabling businesses to manage their stock levels more effectively and make informed purchasing and sales decisions.
