Benefits of using an EDI 867 Product Transfer and Release Report
Both the sender and the receiver benefit from implementing the EDI Planning Schedule with Release or EDIFACT SLSRPT. Many of these benefits are dependent on how automated and integrated the transaction is for both parties.
Benefits of the EDI 867 include:
Reduce the volume of paperwork and increase operating efficiencies through reduced time requirements to exchange information by both parties
Provide an audit trail for reconciliation
Eliminate the need to send/receive reports in several different formats such as email, fax or CSV
More timely, accurate and comprehensive purchase reporting for both parties

Product transfer and resale detail, including product identifiers, quantity, purchase order, dates, type codes and contract identifiers
Transaction totals in terms of line items, their weights and other units of measure
Organization identification information (ship from/ship-to)
