Cosmetics & fragrances EDI.
Handled by Roundhouse.
Cosmetics and fragrance EDI carries the product and shipment detail behind wholesale beauty orders. Roundhouse handles the processing for your retail accounts, from the ordered shade or bottle size through carton labels and invoices.
Let’s talk about your EDI
A shade, a size and a gift set are different products.
Beauty assortments can contain closely related products with distinct identifiers. A full-size fragrance, travel size and holiday set should not be merged because they share a product name. We use your account’s item references to keep ordered configurations separate, including any agreed tester or promotional item treatment.
A seasonal fragrance launch.
A retailer orders gift sets for multiple destinations alongside replenishment stock. Your warehouse confirms which sets were packed for each location. We prepare the ASN and labels from those records and invoice the approved shipped quantities. A last-minute assortment change needs an approved order or shipment correction, not an assumed substitution.
We do the EDI work. Your team stays in control.
Provide item and pack identifiers, shade or volume references, actual carton contents and approved billing values. Include batch or date information when the account requires it and the assigned message supports it. Carrier handling of restricted goods is a separate logistics responsibility.
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.

| 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. |
