FAQ: EDI Shipping & Fulfillment
-
What is EDI shipping?
-
EDI shipping is the process of using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to exchange standardized order and shipping documents with retail trading partners, so shipments follow their compliance rules. It typically includes receiving purchase orders electronically and sending required documents like ASNs (EDI 856), invoices (EDI 810), and shipping labels such as UCC-128/GS1, with the right carton and reference data to avoid delays and chargebacks.
-
What kinds of custom shipping labels and documents can ShipJunction handle for EDI fulfillment?
-
ShipJunction supports 1st and 3rd party shipping labels without having to change workflows or switch screens. For packing slips, we have a template library with 60+ trading and retail partners and can create custom templates too. Our system generates the UCC-128/GS1 labels. We can also generate gift notes and apply those to packing slips or a custom shipping label.
-
What is an Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN), and how does ShipJunction support ASN transmission?
-
An Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) is an EDI document (commonly EDI 856) that tells a retailer what is shipping before it arrives, including PO, item, carton, and SSCC/UCC-128 details. ShipJunction supports ASN workflows by capturing shipment and carton-level data during fulfillment and ensuring the information needed for an accurate ASN is available and consistent with the labels and packing details used for the shipment.
-
Which EDI platforms does ShipJunction integrate with?
-
ShipJunction integrates seamlessly with any EDI platform that feeds orders into your system. Our customers commonly use platforms like SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce, Boomi, and others. Once the order is received, ShipJunction handles label generation, packing slip formatting, and ASN data capture automatically.
-
Can ShipJunction handle both EDI and non-EDI orders?
-
Yes. ShipJunction supports both EDI and non-EDI shipping in one system. With ShipJunction, you can process wholesale and drop-ship orders faster with fewer mis-ships and errors. This lets your team run a single shipping operation even when order types, label requirements, and documentation rules differ by channel or customer, so you avoid switching systems, duplicating work, or maintaining separate processes for wholesale and DTC.
