INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Baby & children’s products EDI.
Handled by Roundhouse.
Baby and children’s product EDI helps suppliers exchange orders and shipment records for apparel, nursery goods and other children’s merchandise. Roundhouse handles the document work while your team manages products, availability and fulfillment.
Let’s talk about your EDI
Keep product versions and packs distinct.
A nursery collection may include different sizes, colors, bundle configurations and replacement items. A retailer’s item number needs to point to the exact version being supplied. We work with your approved item list and selling-unit definitions, rather than grouping similar-looking products under a general description.
Mixed nursery goods on a retail order.
An order combines individual blankets with boxed gift sets. Treating both as loose units could misstate the packing and invoice. We preserve each ordered configuration and use the warehouse’s confirmed contents to build the shipment records. Any unavailable configuration goes back to your team for an approved response.
We do the EDI work. Your team stays in control.
Send product identifiers, pack configurations, accepted order quantities, carton contents and shipping references. Product safety testing, age grading and certification records remain separate from EDI order processing and must be maintained by the responsible business.
Roundhouse works through setup and testing, receives the agreed incoming documents, prepares outgoing records and reviews available technical responses. We bring exceptions back to your team for a decision. Our role is hands-on processing, not simply giving you software to operate.
Baby & children’s products EDI document reference
These are relevant document functions, not a universal mandate for this industry. Your customer’s current implementation guide determines the versions, required fields, timing and documents in your account. Additional messages are agreed during setup.
| Code | Document | Role in the workflow |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order | Receive the buyer’s order and retain its item, quantity and destination references. |
| 855 | Purchase Order Acknowledgment | Transmit your approved response when the account requires an acknowledgment. |
| 856 | Ship Notice/Manifest (ASN) | Prepare the shipment record from confirmed packing and shipping details. |
| 810 | Invoice | Send approved billing quantities, prices and references. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Review technical receipt and syntax status; this is not payment or commercial acceptance. |
| Label | GS1-128 shipping label | Prepare the physical carton or pallet identifier specified by the account; a label is not an X12 transaction set. |
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Baby & children’s products EDI FAQs
Can one order include children’s clothing and nursery goods?
Yes. Each product line can retain its own item identifier, quantity and packing configuration.
Does an accepted EDI document certify a children’s product?
No. EDI document acceptance does not establish product safety or replace required product documentation.
Can you handle seasonal gift packs?
Yes. We use the approved identifier and packing definition for each gift pack rather than assuming it is the same as its individual components.
Do we need to operate your EDI software for baby & children’s products orders?
No. Roundhouse performs the agreed EDI work. Your team provides accurate product and shipment data and approves commercial decisions; you do not need to install or learn our EDI software.
