What the 947 is
The EDI 947 — the X12 Warehouse Inventory Adjustment Advice — is damage, shrink, cycle-count corrections at the 3PL. It travels inbound for most trading programs.
When it's sent
The 947 travels outside the core 850 → 855 → 856 → 810 chain — it supports the programs that surround it.
Key segments
The 947 follows the standard X12 segment layout for its functional group. Partner companion guides add the specifics — EDISQ's certified maps carry those rules per partner, so you never read the implementation guide yourself.
