Parties: Retailer ↔ supplier
Practice example
A grocery chain orders 480 brackets and 2 400 bolts for store cluster North. The supplier confirms the full quantity, ships two pallets with SSCC labels and invoices 7 969,20 EUR net 30.
Stock and sales reports let the supplier plan replenishment instead of the retailer raising orders.
