Segment Notes:

This segment is used to provide any references applicable to the complete purchase order change message.
This segment should be provided at least once per purchase order change request message in order to identify the purchase order message being changed.
Additionally, further reference can be provided as corrections or clarifications to a previously sent Purchase Order or Purchase Order Response. References should normally be given at this point if they apply to all or a majority of the line items.

Example:
RFF+ON:42641A'
RFF+POR:47831'
