Section 4Filling Cardinal Health purchase ordersOrders and shipments must be made in accordance with written agreements in place betweenCardinal Health and manufacturer.Standard purchase order transmissionsCardinal Health transmits purchase orders (PO) to the manufacturer using three methods: Electronic Data Interchange (EDI 850) - EDI POs are collected approximately every two minutes throughoutthe Cardinal Health work day. EDI services then recognizes and transmits to the manufacturers every 30 minuteson the half-hour. This process begins at 5:30 a.m. EST and ends at 10:30 p.m. EST. Fax - Fax POs are generated and sent via fax using the Cardinal Health automated fax system (FAX401) ormanually faxed. The FAX401 system transmits to the manufacturer every 2 minutes. AS2/Cyclone - AS2 is a point-to-point file transfer protocol (ftp) that is used to encrypt and transfer data filesvia the Internet. Cardinal Health is currently using Axway AS2 (formerly known, and also still sometimes referredto, as Cyclone) to trade data with both customers and manufacturers. This managed file transfer system movesEDI (x12-formatted) data as well as other types of data. For manufacturers already up on EDI, once they have theapplicable software on their side, they can contact vendoredi@cardinal.com to test and implement.Narcotic purchase order transmissionsNarcotic POs require special processing based on government regulations. Each manually transmitted narcotic POcan contain no more than 10 items and must be accompanied by a DEA blank number. Cardinal Health generally sendsthe PO and the accompanying DEA blanks (222) to the manufacturer via overnight delivery. However, processing ofthe EDI transmission cannot occur until the receipt of the corresponding DEA blank. All blanks expire in 60 days.Cardinal Health is now enabled with the DEA-approved Controlled Substance Ordering System (CSOS) through Axway/Cyclone AS2. This enables direct EDI 850 ordering of narcotics, and provides the Electronic 222 (e222) forms. This methodrequires that our manufacturers also be enabled with the appropriate technology and DEA Digital Certificate to receive,process and report to the DEA. This provides several advantages, including electronic signing and transmission forms,rather than physical overnight delivery and also eliminates the ten-line restriction that is in place for manual orders.Purchase order managementPurchase orders are expected to ship complete and consistently within the agreed upon lead time. An expecteddelivery date based on this lead time is generated for each purchase order transmitted by Cardinal Health. If for somereason a purchase order or purchase order line will not arrive within the normal lead time or will be partially shipped,Cardinal Health must be notified in advance. Please refer to the section on Product Availability reporting for informationon how and where to communicate this information to Cardinal Health.REV 01/2017Manufacturer reference manual 7

Section 4Filling Cardinal Health purchase ordersWhat is EDI?EDI is an electronic sharing of information in a global standardized format. Traditionally, communications between businesspartners (like purchase orders or invoices) were conducted on paper and sent via mail or fax.With the advent of electronic file sharing, communicating such information electronically greatly reduces the time and resources requiredto manage such interactions. ANSI (American National Standards Institute) is the governing organization that establishes EDI standards.Within ANSI, HDA (Healthcare Distribution Alliance) establishes standards unique to the health care industry. However, HDA standardsalways fall within ANSI standards; they do not conflict with nor negate one another.Ideally, when trading partners use standardized communications in accordance with ANSI and HDA, communications areautomated and efficient.EDI TransactionsCardinal Health supports a range of EDI documents andtransmission protocols to transfer information to and fromour business partners. In addition, Cardinal Health maintainspartnerships with various communication and van providers andcomplies with both the American National Standards Institute(ANSI) and the Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA) EDIguidelines. Cardinal Health sends and receives EDI data every 30minutes, starting at 5:30 a.m. Eastern and endingat 10:30 p.m. Eastern, seven days a week.EDI transactions received (inbound)Document810845849DescriptionInvoiceBid award/Price authorizationChargeback reconciliation855Purchase order acknowledgement856Advance ship notice997Data receiptEDI transactions sent (outbound)820844850852 (Opt)867 (Opt)Payment order/remittance adviceChargebacksPurchase orderProduct activity dataProduct transfer and resale reportEDI Requirements and penaltiesCardinal Health expects all manufacturers, at their expense, to maintain the appropriate systems and software to facilitate the electronicexchange of information pertinent to the respective business relationship.

The electronic acknowledgement will certify and establish evidencethat the electronic document has been properly received.
