Managed EDI for Academy Sports + Outdoors suppliers
Academy Sports + Outdoors EDI. We do the work for wholesale suppliers.
Roundhouse handles the electronic document work behind your Academy Sports + Outdoors wholesale orders: data entry, document preparation and transmission using our own systems. Bulk and store-packed orders with matching ASNs and labels. Your team provides the approved product and shipment facts; we process the assigned EDI documents.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Academy Sports + Outdoors EDI?
Academy Sports + Outdoors EDI is the electronic exchange of standardized business documents between the retailer and its suppliers. For a wholesale account, the assigned workflow connects purchasing, shipment information and billing. Roundhouse performs that processing for you; there is no EDI application for your staff to buy or learn.
Bulk DC packing and store packing need different detail.
Academy's supplier guidance distinguishes bulk distribution-center orders from packed-by-store and direct-to-store handling. We prepare the applicable shipment structure from your actual packing information, keeping SKU and destination details aligned with the assigned order type.
Academy Sports + Outdoors EDI documents and processing responsibilities.
The table describes workflows we review for your supplier account. Required messages, versions, packing structures and testing follow your assigned program; not every row is mandatory for every supplier.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order | Translate the purchase order and retain item, quantity and destination references. |
| 855 | Purchase Order Acknowledgment — where assigned | Prepare your approved quantity and status response using the assigned acknowledgment rules. |
| 860 | Purchase Order Change Request | Review buyer changes against the order and documents already prepared. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice (ASN) | Enter actual shipment and packing details and prepare the assigned shipment notice. |
| GS1-128 | Shipping label format | Prepare assigned shipping labels with container identifiers matched to the shipment data. This is a barcode format, not an X12 transaction number. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare and transmit the approved merchandise invoice with the required purchase references. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor technical acknowledgment; this does not establish business acceptance or approval for payment. |
The carton label and ASN should describe the same shipment.
We coordinate the label identifiers with the shipment notice and the retailer's testing process. Your team provides the final carton contents and dispatch information. Transportation booking remains a separate warehouse or logistics responsibility.
From the approved order to the final document.
We review your Academy Sports + Outdoors account instructions and required tests, agree how your team will provide packing and approval information, and handle recurring processing. Order changes are checked against documents already prepared. Your warehouse controls the physical goods, packing and delivery; Roundhouse prepares the assigned electronic records from those facts.
Keep exceptions and the handover under control.
When taking over an existing Academy Sports + Outdoors account, we review open orders and documents already transmitted to avoid duplicate processing. Checking references, units and quantities helps reduce EDI-related errors and chargebacks. Available acknowledgments and business responses are reviewed separately, because sending a file does not by itself establish acceptance.
