G50

Purchase Order Identification

Opens an 875 — order status, date, PO number, and type (e.g. dropship).

Key elements

Element	Name	What it carries
G5001	Order Status Code	N = original order.
G5002	Date	Date assigned to the PO by the purchaser.
G5003	Purchase Order Number	The PO number everything references.
G5007	Purchase Order Type Code	DS = dropship, NE = new order.

Key elements only — the ones that matter in retail trade, not the full element list.

See a real G50 in context — paste any X12 and the Inspector breaks out every segment.
