What is Nordstrom EDI?
Nordstrom EDI is the electronic exchange of business documents between Nordstrom and its suppliers. For wholesale orders, it connects purchase orders, advance ship notices and invoices with the merchandise being shipped. Roundhouse manages that exchange for you, turning incoming orders and your packing information into the documents needed for your Nordstrom account.
Nordstrom EDI documents and shipping labels.
Wholesale EDI depends on documents that agree with one another. These are the transaction types and labels we work with. We confirm the required document set during account setup; activity reports and order responses apply where enabled for your program.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order | Receive and translate orders, keeping styles, colors, sizes, quantities and delivery references together. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice (Ship Notice / Manifest) | Prepare and send shipment details, carton contents and identifiers based on what you actually pack and ship. |
| GS1-128 | Shipping / carton label | Create labels with SSCC barcodes that connect each carton to the corresponding ASN. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare and transmit invoices using the purchase order references and shipped quantities. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor acknowledgments for EDI receipt and structural errors; this is separate from business acceptance. |
| 860 | Purchase Order Change Request — Buyer Initiated | Process order changes and carry approved revisions into the shipping and invoicing workflow. |
| 855 | Purchase Order Acknowledgment | Prepare order responses where required by the account’s agreed document set. |
| 852 | Product Activity Data | Process product activity information where enabled for your account. |
| 865 | Purchase Order Change Acknowledgment / Request — Seller Initiated | Support change responses where included in your account’s agreed document set. |
How we process your Nordstrom wholesale orders.
Your team makes the fulfillment decisions. Our team turns those decisions into EDI documents and manages their transmission. Here is how the work moves from an incoming order to an invoice.
- Receive the purchase order: we receive and translate the EDI 850 so your team can review the ordered merchandise, quantities and delivery references.
- Prepare shipment information: using your actual packing details, we organize the items and quantities by carton and resolve discrepancies with your team.
- Create labels and the ASN: we prepare GS1-128 carton labels and the EDI 856, keeping the carton identifiers and contents aligned. Your warehouse applies the labels; we transmit the approved shipment notice.
- Send the invoice: we prepare the EDI 810 from the order and shipment information, obtain your approval and transmit it. We monitor document acknowledgments and address reported EDI errors.
Hundreds of cartons. Every label connected.
A wholesale shipment can contain many styles, colors and sizes across hundreds or thousands of boxes. The purchase order, packed quantities, carton identifiers and ASN need to describe the same shipment. Roundhouse prepares the electronic documents and GS1-128 labels from those details, helping your warehouse keep the physical shipment and the EDI aligned.
- Match item references and quantities to the relevant purchase order.
- Connect each carton’s SSCC to its contents in the ASN.
- Prepare shipping notices using the actual packing information.
- Carry the correct order and shipment references into invoicing.
Nordstrom vendor requirements, down to the carton.
Nordstrom vendor compliance involves more than transmitting an order. Applicable vendor instructions can also cover ticketing, hangers, packing methods, carton markings and purchase order types. Roundhouse handles the EDI documents and shipping labels that support your shipment, coordinating with your team so the electronic information reflects how the merchandise is packed.
- Order and item references: preserve the correct purchase order, style, color, size and quantity information.
- Carton and ASN details: connect the SSCC on each shipping label with the carton information in the shipment notice.
- Program-specific instructions: work from the requirements applicable to your vendor account, including NPG instructions when relevant.
- Physical preparation: your warehouse handles packing, ticketing and label application; we handle the corresponding EDI data and documents.
Reduce EDI-related chargebacks.
Incorrect carton labels, missing shipment details and inconsistent documents can create avoidable compliance problems. We check the EDI data before transmission and help resolve discrepancies while there is still time to correct them. Our work focuses on reducing EDI-related chargebacks and keeping your Nordstrom orders moving.
- Check order references, item quantities and shipment details for consistency.
- Keep labels and ASN carton identifiers aligned.
- Review document acknowledgments and address reported EDI errors.
