Managed EDI for Fastenal suppliers
Fastenal EDI. Connect the shipment notice to the labels.
Roundhouse performs Fastenal supplier EDI processing for industrial and wholesale products. We prepare order documents, shipment notices, assigned labels and approved invoices.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Fastenal supplier EDI?
Fastenal supplier EDI exchanges order and shipment information for goods sold into its supply network. Customer eProcurement tools serve a different role. We establish your supplier-side document requirements before testing.
Labels and the ASN describe the same shipment.
Fastenal’s published supplier handbook discusses the 856 ASN and corresponding GS1-128 shipping labels. We prepare the assigned files from your final carton or pallet data so the electronic identifiers refer to the correct physical units.
Fastenal EDI documents and processing.
The following are document functions for the agreed supplier workflow, not a universal list of mandatory transactions. We confirm the current purchasing entity, maps, required responses and testing instructions for your account before production.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850, where assigned | Purchase Order | Read item references and ordered selling units. |
| 855, where assigned | Purchase Order Acknowledgment | Prepare approved availability responses. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice | Describe the actual shipping-unit and item information. |
| GS1-128 | Shipping label | Prepare assigned labels matching the shipment identifiers. |
| 810, where assigned | Invoice | Prepare approved invoice data. |
Keep industrial selling units accurate.
A box of fasteners, a pair of gloves and a case of supplies can represent different quantity bases. We match approved item and packaging references to the order and retain those units in the shipment record and invoice. Unclear conversions are resolved with your team.
Current instructions guide the implementation.
Supplier handbooks change. We confirm the applicable version, required documents and testing rather than treating historical guidance as an unchanged mandate. Roundhouse then handles the agreed daily processing and exception follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
Fastenal EDI support
Why should the label and ASN match?
The label identifies the physical shipping unit; the ASN supplies the electronic contents and references for that shipment.
Can you handle boxes, cases and individual units?
Yes. We use the account’s approved unit relationships.
What does EDI mean for a supplier?
It is structured electronic exchange of business documents with a trading partner.
Do we need to buy EDI software?
No. Roundhouse performs the agreed processing using its systems.
Use the current instructions for your vendor account when setting up or changing an EDI connection. Retailer names identify the accounts we support; these pages are published by Roundhouse, Inc.
