Purchasing documents contents

The Scientific World at http //www.thescientihcworld.com/ offers literature searching through SciBase, a collection of databases of scientific, technical, and medical research literature. SciBase currently covers more than 19 million documents published since 1965 in more than 30,000 journals. SciBase content is derived from databases created by the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE), the British Library, BIOSIS, and PASCAL, as well as CAB ABSTRACTS. Abstracts are sometimes available free and individual articles are available for purchase.

The second VMI transaction informs the customer what product will be delivered by the supplier. There are two transactions being used for this function. The most frequently used is the purchase order acknowledgment, referred to as the 855. This document contains the product numbers and quantities ordered by the supplier on the customer s behalf. A few customers skip the 855 and rely on the advance ship notice (ASN), or 856, to alert them to the order and shipment. This document differs from the 855 in both timing and content. The 856 is sent after the shipment has been made instead of at the time of the order. The 856 contains only the part numbers shipped as weU as additional information, such as carrier and waybill informatirm. For the purposes of VMI, either of these documents works well if properly implemented. 

These Regulations, which incorporate the contents of the Machinery Directive, lay down the requirements to be met by the manufacturers of new machinery, i.e. machinery which is currently being put on the market, and indicate what a purchaser of a new machine, whether manufactured in the UK or elsewhere in the EU, can expect by way of safeguards on the machine and information about it from the supporting documentation. Their aim is to ensure that the machinery meets tire standards necessary to ensure safety in use. Where machinery conforms with the requirements of the Regulations (and hence the directive) it will have open access to the whole of the EU market. Compliance with these conditions is also required of machinery imported into the EU. However, the requirements do not apply to machinery that is to be exported to non- EU cormtries.
