SAC segment in 810

[Alessandro Zipoli]

At the beginning of current season one of my customers granted an 8% unconditional discount to some of their US retailers.

Before that, one of these retailer had 10 EOM 8%.
So I removed the 8% from the ITD segment and added a SAC segment that discounts the invoice no matter what.
By the way, this is exactly how the original, paper invoice from the vendor looks like.

Recently I was called by the retailer's AP office. They say that the way the 810 look is wrong, that SAC segment may generate a double discount.

Who's right? Below is the ITD segment...

ITD*01*2***0**60

Looks wrong? EDI data is for processing, not reading.

I don't see how a double discount could be generated. Your ITD segment says NO discount.
But who knows what kind of processing they do, post-translation. Perhaps their programs ALWAYS take the standard discount regardless of what the 810 says. In that case, your SAC segment will/might create an additional discount.
You say their terms were 10 EOM, but your ITD segment says net 60 days. Maybe this is confusing them.

Go tell it to an account payable office

They were 10 EOM 8% in the past. When they granted an unconditional 8%, they also changed to NET 60.

TDS already shows the discounted amount (merchandise total less SAC allowance). They really shouldn't take an extra 8% if it isn't anywhere in the ITD.

Thank you

Cash (terms) discounts are never put in a SAC segment, as it WILL upset the balance of th 810.

Cash (terms) discounts are reflected in the ITD and TDS segments.

TRADE discounts go in SAC segments
