Rite Aid Purchase Order 850 - Priority Indicator

"This is a notification of a change, planned within the next few weeks, to the format of the EDI 850 Purchase Order sent by Rite Aid, and the possible impact on processing of Rite Aid purchase orders for your clients who are Rite Aid vendors. An additional REF segment may be sent at the header level of the 850 transaction. This segment would contain the purchase order priority indicator (Refer to Attachment) in the following format: REF*ZZ*12345~ where ‘ZZ’ in the REF 01 is the priority indicator. If possible, this should be displayed in the purchase order along with the description. A list of all the potential priority indicators, along with their description is attached. REF*ZZ*12345~ in the EDI could be displayed along the lines of: PO Priority Indicator Description ZZ Basic Replenishment And other priority indicators in the same manner, for example: REF*NW*12345~ PO Priority Indicator Description NW New Item The REF 02, ‘12345’ in both cases, is the Rite Aid EDI partner number and should not be displayed. The PO priority indicator may not always be sent by Rite Aid. Displaying it in the purchase order should be optional. It could be left blank. If a priority indicator was sent that was not in the list, the indicator should display and the description left blank. The priority indicator would not have to be returned on the invoice or ASN. Please consider the following: • Would this cause a problem with the current processing of Rite Aid purchase orders? • What would be the time frame needed to add this data to your company’s processing of Rite Aid purchase orders? An example of an 850 transaction with the priority indicator is below.
