Managed EDI for DSW suppliers
DSW EDI. We do the work for wholesale suppliers.
Roundhouse handles the electronic document work behind your DSW wholesale orders: data entry, document preparation and transmission using our own systems. Footwear size runs translated into accurate shipment data. Your team provides the approved product and shipment facts; we process the assigned EDI documents.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is DSW EDI?
DSW 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.
Prepacks and individual pairs are different packing structures.
DSW distinguishes single-size cartons from mixed size runs and publishes prepack and unit purchase-order examples. We check the packing structure, UPCs and vendor style numbers when preparing shipment data.
DSW 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. |
| 860 | Purchase Order Change Request | Process DSW’s full-replacement order changes, checking the latest order before shipment preparation. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice (ASN) | Enter actual shipment and packing details and prepare the assigned shipment notice. |
| GS1-128 | Shipping label format | Prepare carton labels matched to shipment data and work through DSW’s required label approval before production. |
| 832 | Product Catalog (Vendor Direct) | Review catalog requirements separately when your account includes vendor-direct processing; not a universal wholesale requirement. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor technical acknowledgment; this does not establish business acceptance or approval for payment. |
Seller and factory details for applicable import orders.
For orders DSW takes possession of outside the US, its guidance requires seller and factory information in separate N1 segments: SE for seller and SU for factory. We handle the document mapping using the information your team confirms.
From the approved order to the final document.
We review your DSW 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 DSW 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.
Frequently asked questions
DSW EDI support
Do you do the DSW EDI work for wholesale suppliers?
Yes. Our team performs data entry, prepares the assigned documents and transmits approved information using our own systems. We provide the ongoing processing service, not just access to software.
How do you handle DSW prepacks and individual pairs?
DSW distinguishes single-size cartons from mixed size runs and publishes prepack and unit purchase-order examples. We check the packing structure, UPCs and vendor style numbers when preparing shipment data.
Are all these EDI documents required for every DSW supplier?
No. The supplier account, delivery channel and assigned specifications determine the required messages. We confirm those instructions before setup and testing.
Can you take over our existing DSW EDI processing?
Yes. We review open transactions and the current account requirements, then agree the handover so orders and documents already processed are accounted for.
Can we view purchase orders and download PDFs?
Yes. You can view your purchase orders and download them as PDF files in our customer portal.
