Managed EDI for Bloomingdale’s suppliers
Bloomingdale’s EDI, managed for your wholesale business.
From product references on an order to the cartons arriving at the retailer, Roundhouse handles the EDI processing. We translate Bloomingdale’s purchase orders, enter shipment details, prepare labels and ASNs, and send approved invoices using our own systems.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Bloomingdale’s EDI?
Bloomingdale’s EDI is the standardized exchange of purchasing, shipment and billing information with suppliers. Its purpose is to carry agreed business information between systems without retyping each document at both ends. Roundhouse performs that document work for wholesale merchandise vendors.
Start with the right buying account.
We establish the division, supplier relationship and document instructions before processing begins. Wholesale replenishment and vendor-direct consumer orders have different workflows. A shared retail group does not mean that every account uses identical packing, catalog or testing instructions.
Bloomingdale’s EDI documents and shipping labels.
These are document workflows we review for your account. Required messages, versions, deadlines and receiving channels follow the instructions assigned to your supplier relationship; not every row is mandatory for every account.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order | Receive and translate order lines, product references and quantities for supplier review. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice (ASN) | Build shipment and carton information from the actual packing breakdown, keeping product quantities and container identifiers aligned. |
| GS1-128 | Shipping label | Prepare the assigned carton label format and match its identifiers to the shipment notice. This is a barcode format, not an X12 transaction number. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare and send approved invoice information through the account’s agreed EDI channel. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor technical acknowledgment of the exchange; receipt does not establish business acceptance or approval for payment. |
| 820 | Payment Order / Remittance Advice — where assigned | Make remittance information available for reconciliation where this transaction is assigned; it is separate from issuing an invoice. |
| 832 | Price / Sales Catalog — where assigned | Confirm the assigned product catalog workflow and product-reference alignment where catalog exchange is required. |
Keep the catalog and the order speaking the same language.
A style description is not enough when a collection includes several sizes and colors. We work from the product identifiers assigned to the order and check that packing information uses the same merchandise references. A catalog update and a shipment notice serve different purposes; one should not silently substitute for the other.
Test the documents and the label together.
During setup we review the assigned document tests and shipping-label requirements. We check the relationship between purchase order information, carton contents, shipment identifiers and billing. Once the connection is ready, your team supplies actual packing information and approvals while we handle processing.
Wholesale shipments, with the details carried through.
We translate the order, enter the final packing breakdown, prepare the applicable ASN and carton labels, and handle approved billing information. If quantities change after packing, we review the affected documents before they are finalized. This helps reduce avoidable EDI-related errors and chargebacks.
Move an existing Bloomingdale’s account without losing its history.
Before the handover, we identify open orders, notices already transmitted and invoices awaiting action. Your team retains the commercial decisions while Roundhouse takes responsibility for the agreed document processing. There is no EDI software to purchase or operate.
Frequently asked questions
Bloomingdale’s EDI support
Do you manage Bloomingdale’s EDI for wholesale suppliers?
Yes. We handle order translation, shipment data entry, applicable ASNs, shipping labels and approved invoice transmission.
What is the purpose of EDI for a Bloomingdale’s supplier?
EDI connects purchase orders, shipment information and billing in standardized electronic documents. Roundhouse does the processing so your team does not have to operate an EDI application.
Is vendor-direct processing the same as wholesale EDI?
No. We establish the workflow for your actual supplier account. This service page focuses on bulk wholesale merchandise shipments.
Do you help with setup and label testing?
Yes. We manage the applicable document setup and testing and prepare labels to the assigned requirements.
What is the difference between an 810 and an 820?
An 810 is an invoice. An 820 communicates payment or remittance information where used; it does not replace the supplier’s invoice.
Can we download our purchase orders?
Yes. Our customer portal lets you view your purchase orders and download them as PDF files.
