How to use an EDI 944?
An EDI 944 Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt Advice is frequently used by third-party logistics providers or warehouses – communications regarding shipments from a manufacturer to its own warehouses can typically be handled within the company’s own business or warehouse management system.

In general, third-party warehouses store products for manufacturers who then instruct the warehouse to ship to other locations.

After the EDI 944 Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt Advice is received, an EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgement is sent back indicating that the Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt Advice was successfully received.
