OptionalMax use >1
To specify the physical qualities, packaging, weights, and dimensions relating to the item
Usage notes
Due to legacy processes within Kohl’s system the logic used for the PO4 segment is non-standard. The PO4 logic used is based on Kohl’s business rules.
Bulk Purchase Order:
- PO103 = EA
- PO401 = the number of eaches per inner pack.
- PO402 = the total number of packs per outer carton.
Packs can represent inner carton, rubber banded items (SKU’s) or poly bagged items (SKU’s). This is a single SKU carton. - PO401 (eaches) x PO402 (packs) = total number of units per carton.
Prepack (One Assortment per Carton):
- PO103 = AS
- PO102 = the number of assortments ordered.
- PO401 = the number of assortments within one outer carton. This will always be 1, for one assortment in an outer carton.
- SLN04 = the number of eaches for the individual item (pack ratio).
- Total number of units per carton = the sum of the SLN04 fields within the assortment.
For example, the carton below should contain 12 units.
PO41
SLN000001I2EA3.08UP800097474379CB9998877
SLN000002I6EA3.08UP800097474386CB9998877
SLN000003I4EA3.08UP800097474381CB*9998877
Inner Prepack (More than one of the same Assortment per Carton):
- PO103 = AS
- PO102 = the number of assortments ordered.
- PO401 = the number of inner assortments within one outer carton. This will be more than one assortment in an outer carton.
- PO414 = Inner pack is always one. This is defined as one of each of the inner packs.
- SLN04 = the number of eaches for the individual item (pack ratio).
-Total number of units per carton = the sum of the SLN04 fields within the assortment multiplied by the PO401 field.
For example, the carton below should contain 24 units (2 assortments containing 12 units each)
PO42******1
SLN000001I2EA3.08**UP800097474379CB9998877
SLN000002**I6EA3.08*UP800097474386*CB9998877
SLN000003**I4EA3.08*UP800097474381*CB9998877 - To calculate number of cartons ordered on a prepack purchase order use the following formula:
Assortments ordered (PO102) divided by Inner (PO401) = number of cartons.
For example, if PO102 = 100 and PO401 = 2, then 50 cartons would be shipped.

For example: If the carton contains 24 12-Ounce packages, it would be described as follows: Data element 356 = "24"; Data element 357 = "12"; Data element 355 = "OZ".
