Managed EDI for Sierra suppliers
Sierra orders. Store and web shipment details handled with care.
Outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment can involve different pack structures within the same wholesale relationship. Roundhouse takes on the document work for Sierra suppliers, keeping the approved purchase order, packing breakdown and shipping information connected.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Sierra EDI?
Sierra EDI supports electronic business documents for the supplier relationship. The applicable formats depend on your account and order instructions. Roundhouse handles the processing for wholesale deliveries to Sierra, including replenishment for its retail channels, rather than consumer-by-consumer fulfillment.
Store orders and web replenishment need different attention.
Sierra’s vendor guide distinguishes store and web orders in its packing guidance. We retain the order references and destination details when preparing shipment records, so information from one channel is not casually combined with another.
- Review the purchase order and the required packing arrangement together.
- Keep style, color, size and quantity information tied to the correct order.
- Use the completed carton and pallet breakdown when preparing shipment data.
Sierra document and label processing.
These are account-dependent document references, not a claim that Sierra mandates every X12 transaction for every supplier. Current order and vendor instructions govern the workflow.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 where assigned | Purchase Order | Translate electronic order information while retaining store or web order references. |
| 860 where assigned | Purchase Order Change Request | Review changes to ordered items, quantities and delivery information. |
| 856 where assigned | Advance Ship Notice | Prepare the shipment record from the final order-specific packing breakdown. |
| GS1-128 where specified | Shipping label | Generate the assigned label format with the correct shipment and carton identifiers. |
| Invoice / 810 where assigned | Invoice | Prepare billing details for the account-approved invoice channel. |
| 997 where assigned | Functional Acknowledgment | Review transmission and syntax status without treating it as commercial acceptance. |
Routing is not the same as an ASN.
A routing request tells logistics how freight will move; an ASN reports what is being shipped. Your warehouse or logistics team remains responsible for routing and physical delivery. We use its confirmed shipping and packing details for the electronic documents, avoiding the assumption that a routing approval has already reported the shipment.
Apparel packs and bulky equipment need accurate units.
A footwear size assortment, a case of apparel and an individually packed outdoor item can have different unit relationships. We enter the approved breakdown rather than treating every carton as an identical pack. When quantities change before departure, the shipment record should change with them.
Confirm the invoice route before transmission.
Sierra’s published guide includes invoice submission instructions beyond a generic list of EDI messages. We prepare approved billing details and confirm the channel assigned to your account. An 810 is used only when that is the required format and route; it is not presented as mandatory for every Sierra supplier.
Start with the account instructions, then manage daily documents.
We review the order types, maps, packing and label requirements, and any required testing. For a provider change, we also identify outstanding orders and previously transmitted shipments. Once processing starts, we handle document preparation and applicable acknowledgment review while your team approves the commercial and fulfillment information.
