Managed EDI for Burlington suppliers
Burlington EDI. We do the processing behind your wholesale shipments.
Your Burlington orders need more than an EDI connection. They need someone to process them. Roundhouse receives purchase orders, handles the data entry, prepares ASNs and carton labels, and transmits approved invoices. We do the EDI work while your team prepares the merchandise.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Burlington EDI?
Burlington EDI is the electronic exchange of standardized business documents between Burlington and its suppliers. For wholesale merchandise, those documents connect the purchase order with shipment information, carton identification and billing. Burlington also publishes order-change and document-feedback specifications, which help keep the transaction flow aligned as an order progresses.
A service that does the work, from the first order onward.
Burlington offers vendors a self-service Gateway for orders, shipment notices, labels and invoices. Roundhouse provides the people and daily processing behind your EDI operation. Our team uses our systems to translate orders, enter shipment information and prepare documents for approval. You do not need to buy or learn EDI software.
- Review readable purchase orders and download PDFs through our customer portal.
- Send your actual packing and shipping details to our team.
- Approve the documents we prepare before transmission.
- Keep your staff focused on merchandise, fulfillment and customer relationships.
Burlington EDI documents and carton labels.
The following documents support Burlington merchandise workflows. We establish the applicable scope during account setup; published specifications do not mean every transaction is required for every supplier. Shipping labels are a separate format, not an X12 transaction.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order | Receive and translate item quantities, order references and delivery information into an order your team can fulfill. |
| 860 | Purchase Order Change | Review received changes with your team so document preparation reflects the applicable order information. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice (ASN) | Prepare and transmit the approved shipment notice from actual carton contents and shipping details. |
| GS1-128 | Carton shipping label | Create carton labels whose identifiers correspond to the shipment notice and the cartons being shipped. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare the invoice from approved shipped quantities and order references, then transmit it in the applicable format. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor structural acknowledgment of EDI transactions; it is not confirmation of payment or merchandise acceptance. |
| 824 | Application Advice | Review application-level feedback when used in the account workflow and coordinate document corrections. |
| 852 | Product Activity Data | Process product activity information when included in the agreed Burlington account scope. |
An order change should reach the shipment documents.
A changed quantity or delivery instruction can affect more than the purchase order. Roundhouse reviews received order changes with your team before preparing the final ASN and invoice. If packing has already begun, we work from the updated order information and the actual shipment details rather than letting an earlier version carry through unchecked.
The carton, the label and the ASN should tell the same story.
For a wholesale shipment containing many cartons, the electronic notice needs to describe what the warehouse actually packed. Roundhouse prepares the ASN and GS1-128 labels from your packing details, keeping carton identifiers connected to their contents. Your warehouse applies each label to its matching carton and remains responsible for physical packing and routing.
- Confirm the purchase-order references and intended shipment.
- Use actual packed quantities and carton contents.
- Resolve changes before final labels and documents are approved.
- Coordinate transmission with the applicable shipping requirements.
We follow the feedback after documents are sent.
Sending a file is one step in processing it. A functional acknowledgment and application-level advice serve different purposes. Roundhouse reviews the EDI feedback included in your workflow, identifies reported document issues and works through corrections with your team. This helps reduce avoidable EDI-related chargebacks without confusing electronic acceptance with warehouse receipt or payment.
Setup, testing and the daily work that follows.
We review your Burlington merchandise account, establish the document scope and coordinate the required setup and testing. Then our team handles ongoing processing using the agreed packing information and approval workflow. Roundhouse has been helping companies stay EDI compliant for over 20 years.
Already using another EDI service?
We plan the handover around open orders, outstanding shipment notices and invoices. Before processing moves to Roundhouse, we agree which documents each provider will handle and how new orders and changes will be received. Your team gets a clear starting point for the new service.
Frequently asked questions
Burlington EDI support
Do you handle Burlington EDI for wholesale suppliers?
Yes. Roundhouse receives purchase orders, performs shipment data entry, prepares ASNs and GS1-128 carton labels, and sends approved invoices for suppliers shipping wholesale merchandise to Burlington.
How is Roundhouse different from using Burlington Gateway ourselves?
Gateway is a self-service option. With Roundhouse, our team does the EDI data entry and document processing using our systems. Your team provides shipment details and approvals without having to learn EDI software.
Do you process Burlington purchase order changes?
Yes. We review received EDI 860 changes with your team and use the applicable order information when preparing shipment documents and invoices.
Do you provide Burlington GS1-128 shipping labels?
Yes. We prepare carton labels using identifiers aligned with the ASN and your packing information. Your warehouse applies the labels to the corresponding cartons.
Does an EDI 997 mean Burlington has accepted the invoice for payment?
No. A 997 reports structural acknowledgment of an EDI transaction. It is not a payment approval. Application feedback and invoice status are separate parts of the process.
Can you help reduce EDI-related chargebacks?
Yes. We help reduce EDI-related chargebacks by checking order references, carton information and document consistency, coordinating transmissions and addressing reported EDI errors.
Can we view our Burlington purchase orders online?
Yes. You can view your purchase orders and download them as PDF files in our customer portal.
