What is this?
This document describes what Anchor Distributors has in place to facilitate electronic ordering via Anchor’s FTP site.
Anchor’s FTP Electronic Ordering Service is simply a means for Anchor to receive orders from customers adhering to the Bisac X12 standard. Customers will send Anchor 850 Purchase Orders by uploading them to their specified upload directory on our FTP site. Anchor will process their order and place an 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgement or 997 Functional Acknowledgement in the customer’s specified download directory on our FTP site. Invoicing will be done either electronically (with an 810 Invoice document) or by paper at the customer’s discretion. If invoicing is done electronically, the customer must be able to upload a 997 Functional Acknowledgement upon receipt of the 810 Invoice. In order to place orders with Anchor with its FTP site as the means of document exchange, you must contact Customer Service at 800-444-4484 and inquire about electronic ordering via FTP.
