Managed EDI for Urban Outfitters suppliers
Urban Outfitters EDI. Order changes kept in step.
An updated fashion order should not become a duplicate shipment. Roundhouse manages Urban Outfitters EDI for wholesale suppliers, handling incoming orders, approved changes, packing data and outgoing documents. Our team does the work using our own systems.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Urban Outfitters EDI?
Urban Outfitters uses electronic documents to exchange wholesale order, shipment and invoice information with participating suppliers. Roundhouse processes that flow for apparel, accessory and lifestyle merchandise accounts, helping your team keep the approved order and actual shipment aligned.
A replacement 850 is an order revision.
URBN’s published EDI program sends revised purchase orders as replacement 850 documents rather than 860 changes. We compare the replacement to the existing order before preparing shipping records. That helps prevent a revision from being processed as additional demand.
Urban Outfitters EDI documents and shipment records.
These are the core document functions described in URBN’s EDI program. We confirm the assigned supplier program and current maps before processing.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order / replacement order | Translate new orders and distinguish revisions from new demand. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice | Report the approved carton and item breakdown. |
| GS1-128 | Carton label | Prepare identifiers matching the shipment record. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare approved billing information for the assigned EDI flow. |
Connect the retailer SKU to your product record.
URBN uses its short SKU reference in this workflow. We establish the relationship to your own SKU or UPC during setup, then preserve it through processing. A style description alone is not enough to distinguish the size, color or variant that was ordered.
Build the ASN from what is actually packed.
We enter your confirmed carton contents and prepare the 856 and corresponding carton-label files. If packing changes, the document data needs to change with it. Your warehouse applies the labels, prepares the goods and follows routing instructions; we handle the electronic records.
Daily processing after the connection is ready.
We work through the assigned testing and account instructions, agree the handover for open orders, and prepare approved invoices through the agreed channel. Commercial approvals remain with your team. You do not need to operate our EDI software to keep orders moving.
