Managed EDI for Homesense suppliers
Homesense wholesale EDI, built around your receiving market.
A home collection can include furniture, lighting, rugs and decorative pieces with very different packing needs. Roundhouse processes the order and shipment documents for your Homesense account, starting with the buying entity and market so the right requirements guide the work.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Homesense EDI?
Homesense EDI is the exchange of business documents used in a supplier’s Homesense relationship. Homesense operates in the United States, Canada and Europe. A shared retail name does not establish one worldwide EDI map. We confirm the relevant account and perform the document processing for wholesale merchandise shipments.
Identify the buying entity before copying a setup.
A US HomeGoods setup should not automatically be reused for a Canadian or European Homesense order. We review the account instructions, receiving destination, message format and invoice channel before preparing documents.
- Keep vendor and order references attached to the correct buying relationship.
- Confirm the account’s transmission, label and testing requirements.
- Preserve approved prices, currencies and units instead of importing assumptions from another market.
Homesense technical document reference.
The X12 codes below describe common wholesale message functions where that standard is assigned. They are not a universal Homesense requirement; market-specific formats and invoice routes are confirmed during setup.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 / assigned order format | Purchase Order | Retain buying entity, item, unit and destination information. |
| 860 / assigned change format | Order change | Carry approved revisions into the relevant shipment preparation. |
| 856 / assigned shipping notice | Advance Ship Notice | Represent actual shipment, carton and product relationships. |
| GS1-128 where specified | Shipping label | Prepare the assigned barcode label and corresponding shipment identifiers. |
| 810 / assigned invoice format | Invoice | Prepare billing information for the account’s approved route. |
| 997 where assigned | Functional Acknowledgment | Check applicable message receipt and syntax responses, not business acceptance. |
A furniture component is not necessarily a separate sale.
Some home products travel in multiple cartons; other cartons contain several sellable units. We use the product and packing detail your team approves to represent that relationship. The resulting shipment data and label files need to agree with what the warehouse actually packed.
Keep labels and shipment reporting aligned.
We prepare the applicable shipping notice from the final packing information and generate label files in the assigned format. Your fulfillment team handles packing and label application. If the carton breakdown changes, we review the document impact before the shipment is reported.
Invoice handling depends on the market.
US and Canadian TJX vendor notices describe different invoice submission arrangements. We do not extend either arrangement to every Homesense account or to Europe. Roundhouse prepares approved invoice information and confirms how it should be submitted for the specific buying relationship.
An ongoing service, not another software project.
We do the data entry and document preparation using our systems. Setup includes reviewing the assigned maps and testing, while ongoing work includes applicable acknowledgment and error handling. When moving an existing account, we distinguish open orders from completed shipments to reduce duplicate reporting.
Frequently asked questions
Homesense EDI support
Are US and Canadian Homesense EDI requirements identical?
Do not assume they are. The buying entity, assigned maps, invoice channel and current vendor instructions determine the setup.
Do you support wholesale home-product shipments?
Yes. We process approved order and shipment information for wholesale suppliers, including products with different selling units and carton structures.
Can one product be represented across several cartons?
We use your approved component and packing breakdown, then apply the account’s shipment and label rules.
Is every document in the table required?
No. It is a technical reference for the processing reviewed during setup. Your assigned market and account determine the actual messages.
Will Roundhouse handle the EDI data entry?
Yes. We enter the approved information and prepare the applicable documents and labels using our own systems.
Can you help us change providers?
Yes. We review open orders, prior shipments and outstanding invoices to agree on a cutover without duplicating completed documents.
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.
