Trading Partner Series: EDI Integration for Walmart with MS Dynamics GP and SL

Walmart is one of the largest retailers in the world so it is pretty obvious that Walmart would implement an EDI system to handle the amount of orders they make on a daily basis. If your compnay is interested in transacting via EDI with Walmart, make sure that you are compliant on the following transactions:

850 – Purchase Order
856 – Advance Ship Notice (ASN)
810 – Invoice

Walmart also requires that a UCC-128 label is affixed to each carton that goes out on a shipment. By scanning the barcode on the label Walmart knows what items and the quantities that are included in the box. They will in then match that information with the information provided on the ASN. It is very important that your company has a reliable system in place to handle the 856 (ASN) and the UCC-128 labels. Any errors or delays in providing the information on time will result in chargebacks to your company.

If you are looking for a solution that can stand up to Walmart’s EDI requirements then give me a call or head to the eBRIDGE website to see eBRIDGE’s Walmart EDI solution.
