allow the buyer to make a request for credit from
the supplier using INVOIC (using structure of LIN

than COMDIS message offers. COMDIS has the
ability to reference original invoice line number
through DLI segment. However, to link INVOIC's
line through DLI of COMDIS would be an
extremely advanced implementation, and this
cannot be accepted by the industry.
Proposed solution:
Introduce new code to DE1001 in BGM of
INVOIC. This code will signify new type of invoice
message. This new type of the invoice message
can be sent from the buyer back to the supplier
indicating problems with the original invoice
received by the buyer.

how many in total?
2 What processes/messages do you use to
