This transaction set communicates detailed information about products that have been transferred between trading partners or resold. Typically sent by distributors, resellers, or manufacturers to their trading partners, the 867 reports on product movement and related commercial activity. The report is often sent in response to requests for visibility into inventory disposition or may be transmitted on a regular schedule to maintain ongoing visibility. Key segments include the BPT (Beginning Segment for Product Transfer and Resale), which establishes the report type and scope; the PTD (Product Transfer and Resale Detail) segment, which carries line-level information about each product transfer or resale transaction; and the QTY (Quantity) segment within the detail loop, which specifies the quantities involved and references item identifications, pricing, and physical characteristics.

For example, a pharmaceutical distributor sends an 867 report to a hospital network showing the transfer of inventory between its regional warehouses. The distributor uses the BPT segment to identify the report as an internal transfer, then populates multiple PTD segments—one for each SKU moved—along with corresponding QTY loops that capture unit counts, lot numbers (via MAN), expiration dates (via DTM), and unit prices (via AMT). Supporting N1 loops identify the originating and receiving warehouse locations. The hospital network receives the report to reconcile their expected inventory positions across multiple distribution centers and confirm product availability at each site.
