850 / 997 Requirement

A detailed 997 functional acknowledgment must be transmitted for each purchase order that you receive from Ace Hardware. A detailed 997 contains the AK2 and AK5 segments that acknowledge each transaction set from the 850 purchase order. See below for an example. Receipt by Ace Hardware of your detailed 997 functional acknowledgment with respect to any purchase order shall constitute your verification of receipt and your acceptance of such purchase order. Failure to return detailed 997s in a timely manner will result in non-compliance with the Ace Hardware EDI program. Example of a detailed 997:
