S6 EP2: EDI - The 850 Purchase Form with Shawn Sissenwein
In this episode, Shawn Sissenwein discusses the 850 Purchase Form, the most common problems people experience, what you can do to prevent them, and the important components that you should remember.
Essential points covered in this episode:
✔️ Accurately map the right numbers. The 850 Purchase Form contains important data, such as vendor numbers, UPC numbers, and manufacturing part numbers. Ensure that you’ve got them all correctly in Business Central to avoid sending out erroneous information to your trading partners.
✔️ Discrepancies can be fixed. They are inevitable, but you can still do your research and find out the correct number. Issues will have an “Error” alert or an inaccurate self-generated number.
✔️ Pay attention to the purchase order. It can contain specific routing information or even special instructions. The item might be a gift for someone or something that requires you to add value.
✔️ The most common error is the wrong item number for the product. Sometimes, descriptions from your vendors are also different from what you have in your system. Agree with your partners to use a common item number.
✔️ The basic components of the 850 Form are:
* PO number
* Receiver’s name
* Bill-to and ship-to addresses
* Special instructions
* Item description
* Total amount
After helping companies for 20+ years improve their business processes with Dynamics Business Central / NAV, it’s easy to think one would get a little blasé about the work.

Shawn has a special talent and boundless drive for extracting hidden value from a client’s use of the system to improve their processes and provide enhanced service, regardless of how long they’ve been using the system. From her experience as a former Inventory Control Manager and a Systems Administrator, she truly “gets” what a company needs from their BC / NAV system and what frustrates a typical user just trying to get their job done. Layered on top are roughly 50 implementations across every industry, helping companies grow through expansion and mergers, and she cannot wait to unpack the power of BC / NAV for you.
