So, let's say you have a Trading Partner that has multiple stores, and one of those stores sent a paper Purchase Order. Can you send an EDI 810 Invoice in response? The short answer: yes, it's possible.

However (yes, there's a however), you always want to communicate this with the Trading Partner. If a paper PO was sent, a paper Invoice might need to be sent in response.

Rule of thumb: always communicate with your Trading Partner.

If your Trading Partner is expecting an EDI invoice in return, you can create the transaction manually. Check out the related documentation below for more information.
