About

SPS Commerce operates a global retail cloud network connecting suppliers, distributors, retailers, and logistics providers for electronic data interchange. Its Dev Center APIs support exchanging standardized retail transactions, including purchase orders (EDI 850), order acknowledgments (EDI 855), advance ship notices (EDI 856), electronic invoices (EDI 810), and inventory advice (EDI 846).

Through Fibric, an operator monitors incoming retail EDI orders and shipment milestones, proposing EDI order acknowledgments or advance shipping notices for logistics team approval.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from SPS Commerce and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Inbound retail purchase orders (EDI 850) and order change requests via purchase order endpoints
  • Purchase order acknowledgment states (EDI 855) and line item acceptance confirmations
  • Advance ship notices (EDI 856) with UCC-128 container packaging structures and carrier tracking
  • Electronic invoices (EDI 810) and retailer payment remittance advices (EDI 820)
  • Inventory advice records (EDI 846) reflecting available stock levels across trading relationships

Proposed actions

  • Target capability: propose creating a purchase order acknowledgment (EDI 855) transaction
  • Target capability: propose generating an advance ship notice (EDI 856) with package details
  • Target capability: propose creating an electronic invoice (EDI 810) matching delivered line items
  • Target capability: propose transmitting an inventory advice (EDI 846) feed to retail buyers

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

    When major retailers transmit EDI 850 purchase orders, verify product pricing and warehouse inventory, proposing automated EDI 855 acknowledgments within required vendor windows.

    With Order Risk, Oversell Watch

  • Generate advance ship notices on warehouse dispatch

    When warehouse pick waves complete packing, compile pallet tracking details and propose transmitting EDI 856 ship notices before trailers leave facilities.

    With Tracking Sync, Carrier Exception

Questions and answers

What data format does the SPS Commerce Dev Center API use?
The Dev Center APIs utilize SPS Commerce RSX (Retail Standard XML) and JSON representations of standard EDI documents, translating between REST API calls and traditional ANSI X12 or EDIFACT formats.
How does Fibric handle retailer-specific EDI compliance rules?
SPS Commerce validates outbound transactions against each retailer's published business rules. Fibric checks that all mandatory packaging, carrier, and store destination fields are populated before submission.
Does Fibric transmit EDI documents to retailers automatically?
No. Fibric generates valid transaction payloads based on fulfillment events and presents them for review. An authorized logistics coordinator confirms the documents before SPS Commerce dispatches them.
