Managed EDI for HomeGoods suppliers
HomeGoods wholesale shipments. Every carton connected to the order.
From tabletop collections to furniture and home accessories, the products in a HomeGoods order do not always fit a simple one-item, one-box pattern. Roundhouse does the EDI work: translating orders, entering approved packing information, preparing ASNs and carton labels, and handling invoice preparation.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is HomeGoods EDI?
HomeGoods EDI is the electronic exchange of order and shipment information between HomeGoods and its suppliers. For bulk merchandise deliveries, the purchase order, carton contents and shipping notice need to describe the same goods. Roundhouse processes those records using your account instructions, with no EDI software for your team to buy or learn.
Sets, components and cartons are different counts.
A boxed dinnerware set, a case of individual items and a furniture piece packed in several boxes can represent different ordering and packing units. We work from your approved packing breakdown so the reported quantities do not simply become a count of boxes.
- Keep the ordered selling unit distinct from case quantities and packaging components.
- Associate carton identifiers with the merchandise actually inside each carton.
- Review changed quantities and destinations before preparing shipment documents.
HomeGoods EDI documents and shipping labels.
The table describes wholesale processing reviewed during setup. Assigned maps, label rules and invoice channels determine which formats apply to your account.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order | Translate product references, quantities, ordering units and delivery details. |
| 860 | Purchase Order Change Request | Review applicable revisions before building the shipment record. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice (ASN) | Prepare shipment, order, carton and item information from actual packing data. |
| GS1-128 | Shipping label | Create applicable carton labels with identifiers consistent with the ASN. |
| Invoice / 810 where assigned | Invoice preparation | Reconcile billing information and follow the approved submission channel; do not assume direct 810. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Review receipt and syntax status where used; this is not approval of goods or payment. |
We prepare the ASN from the packed shipment.
Your warehouse supplies the final carton contents, shipment references and destination. We enter those details, prepare the applicable ASN and generate the required shipping labels. Your warehouse applies the labels to the matching cartons and handles the physical shipment. A planned order quantity is not a substitute for the actual packing record.
Invoice preparation follows the assigned channel.
We reconcile approved invoice information with the order and shipment. TJX-US has announced a move away from its in-house 810 invoice process to Transcepta. We confirm the submission instructions for your HomeGoods account instead of assuming that sending an 810 directly is the correct route.
Setup and ongoing exception handling.
We review your vendor instructions, document maps, label requirements and testing arrangements before processing production orders. During daily work, we review applicable acknowledgments and reported errors so an incomplete or rejected document can be addressed. This helps reduce avoidable EDI-related chargebacks; physical packaging and routing still need to follow the retailer instructions.
Move your open orders without losing the packing history.
When changing providers, we identify which orders are open, which shipments have already been reported and which invoices remain outstanding. Agreeing on a cutover keeps an old ASN or carton identifier from being resent as a new shipment. Your team keeps control of approvals while we perform the document work.
Frequently asked questions
HomeGoods EDI support
Do you do the HomeGoods EDI work for us?
Yes. We process orders, enter approved shipment details and prepare the applicable ASNs, labels and invoices using our own systems.
Can you work with sets and multi-box products?
Yes. We use your approved item and packing breakdown to keep selling units, components and carton quantities distinct in the shipment records.
Do you print and ship our merchandise?
We provide the required shipping-label files and EDI processing. Your warehouse packs the goods, applies the matching labels and ships the merchandise.
Is an 810 invoice always sent directly to HomeGoods?
No. Invoice submission follows your account instructions. The TJX-US notice directs invoicing through Transcepta rather than its former in-house 810 process.
Can we view our purchase orders online?
Yes. You can view your purchase orders and download them as PDF files in our customer portal.
Can you help reduce EDI-related chargebacks?
Yes. We help reduce avoidable errors by checking order references, packing data and the relationship between ASNs and shipping labels.
