SYSTEM READYWhat is ApparelMagic EDI Integration?
ApparelMagic EDI Integration automatically converts inbound retailer 850 purchase orders into native ApparelMagic Sales Orders, validated against your master SKUs and variant barcodes before anything posts. As your team fulfills, 856 ship notices and 810 invoices generate directly from Shipment and Sales Invoice records and transmit to partners over AS2, SFTP, or VAN. No manual entry, no missed compliance windows, no surprise deductions.
Zero-Touch Order Flow in ApparelMagic
-
Every inbound 850 passes schema and business-rule validation before it becomes an ApparelMagic Sales Order.
-
Inventory advice and fulfillment records sync in both directions, so promised quantities match what your warehouses actually hold.
-
Documents move over AS2, SFTP, or VAN with encryption and automated 997 acknowledgment tracking on every transmission.
Raw EDI in. Posted ApparelMagic Sales Orders out.
Retailer 850s arrive over AS2, VAN, or SFTP and clear envelope-level X12 syntax checks and 997 acknowledgment handling at the Cogential gateway before mapping begins. Each PO1 line is validated against ApparelMagic master SKUs and variant barcodes, customer price levels, and warehouse location availability through the REST Web Services / Web API connector. Clean documents post as native ApparelMagic Sales Orders in real time under OAuth 2.0 bearer-token sessions throttled to the platform's per-minute API rate limits. Outbound 856, 810, 855, and 846 documents assemble from live Shipment / Fulfillment and Sales Invoice records the moment ApparelMagic event triggers or webhooks fire.

Bidirectional Pipeline & Native Architecture for ApparelMagic
Whiteboard-level breakdown of document intake, field defaults, cross-reference mapping, and runtime handshake constraints.
A Walmart or Target 850 lands over AS2, is fingerprinted and validated against ApparelMagic master SKUs, variant barcodes, and contracted price levels, then posts as a native Sales Order through the REST Web Services / Web API connector with zero re-keying. The 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment returns from the posted order's status within the buyer's acknowledgment SLA, closing the compliance loop before the warehouse ever touches a pick ticket.
Runtime Field Defaults
| ERP Field | Assignment Rule | Failure Prevented |
|---|---|---|
Default Branch / Company & Warehouse Location on the ApparelMagic Sales Order |
When the N1*ST loop carries a store or DC code with no mapped ApparelMagic warehouse location, the order routes to the default warehouse location tied to the selling branch/company on the customer record. | Prevents apparel orders landing in an unassigned warehouse location or allocating against the wrong branch's inventory. |
Order Status & Credit Hold Flag |
Incoming 850s post into a held, pre-release order status and only advance to an allocatable state once the customer account's credit position clears the order total. | Ensures credit check and stock allocation complete before pick tickets release to the warehouse floor. |
Fallback Customer & Account Entity |
N1*BY buyer account numbers resolve through the partner cross-reference to native ApparelMagic Customer records; unmapped buyers post to a designated house customer flagged for review rather than failing. | Prevents high-volume retail orders from posting to unknown guest accounts or unassigned billing entities. |
Data Cross-Reference & Resolution
| Mapping Type | Source EDI → Target ERP | Resolution Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Item SKU & Part Number Translation |
Partner UPC/GTIN (PO1-06 'UP', PO1-07 value) or Vendor Part # (PO1-06 'VN')
→
ApparelMagic Master SKU & Variant Barcode
|
Each PO1 UPC matches the variant barcode on the ApparelMagic master SKU, resolving size/color child variants in real time; multi-SKU prepacks split into component SKUs before Sales Order lines post. |
| Ship-To Store & DC Location Mapping |
Partner N1*ST Store or Distribution Center Identification Code
→
ApparelMagic Customer ship-to addresses & Warehouse Location
|
Translates retailer DC codes into native shipping address records and stamps the correct ApparelMagic warehouse location on the order header for allocation. |
| Unit of Measure (UOM) Multiplier |
Retailer Ordering UOM (e.g., Case 'CA', Inner Pack 'IP')
→
ApparelMagic Base Stocking UOM (Each 'EA')
|
Applies pack-size multipliers from the item master so a case-ordered line converts to the correct each-count and inventory deducts accurately from warehouse bins. |
Pre-Translation Validation Guards
Fingerprints partner ID plus PO number — including Walmart's store-level PO variants — and queries ApparelMagic for existing open and closed Sales Orders before posting. Buyer-initiated 860 change requests re-validate against the same fingerprint and are accepted only while the order remains before its fulfillment status lock.
Compares each EDI line price against the ApparelMagic customer's contracted price levels and wholesale trade terms before the order commits.
Validates the 850's delivery window against current warehouse fulfillment lead times and the latest EDI 846 inventory advice before any stock allocates.
When a Shipment / Fulfillment record is marked packed or a Sales Invoice posts in ApparelMagic, the event trigger or webhook fires and Cogential assembles the 856 from real fulfillment lines plus GS1-128 SSCC-18 carton loops, transmitting over AS2 inside Walmart's one-hour ASN arrival window. The 810 invoice builds from the posted Sales Invoice with SAC-coded freight and allowances, while scheduled 846 inventory advice keeps buyer DCs synced with live ApparelMagic stock.
Fulfillment & Packaging Defaults
| Parameter | Fallback Rule | Failure Prevented |
|---|---|---|
Carrier SCAC & Routing Defaults |
When the ApparelMagic fulfillment record lacks an explicit carrier assignment, the map applies the partner routing guide's default SCAC, such as UPSN for Walmart small-parcel drop-ships. | Retailer receiving portals reject ASNs carrying missing or invalid SCAC codes, stranding cartons at the DC dock. |
GS1-128 SSCC-18 Barcode Structure |
The company's GS1 prefix attaches automatically to each 18-digit SSCC-18 serial shipping container code, with carton hierarchy built from ApparelMagic shipment package lines and printed as GS1-128 carton labels. | Guarantees globally unique carton tracking numbers for automated scanning at retail distribution centers. |
Outbound Normalization & Codes
| Mapping Type | Source ERP → Target EDI | Resolution Logic |
|---|---|---|
| ERP Shipping Method to Carrier SCAC |
ApparelMagic Ship Via / Carrier Field on the Shipment / Fulfillment record
→
Trading Partner SCAC (e.g., UPSN, FDEG, ODFL)
|
Maps internal warehouse carrier selections to formal 4-character carrier codes and carries the pro/BOL number into the 856 carrier detail loop. |
| Tax & Allowance Charge Codes |
ApparelMagic Sales Invoice freight, discount, and tax details
→
EDI SAC Segment Codes
|
Translates freight surcharges, early-pay discounts, and regional taxes into standardized SAC allowance/charge codes so the 810 nets against the buyer's expected terms. |
Outbound Dispatch & Timing Guards
Ensures shipped quantities across the ApparelMagic fulfillment's package lines match physical carton scans and never exceed the original 850 line quantities.
Verifies the 856 transmits and receives its 997 acknowledgment before the carrier arrives at the destination DC, with Walmart's one-hour ASN window as the tightest gate.
ApparelMagic REST Web Services / Web API, operating on the platform's native Sales Order, Shipment / Fulfillment, Sales Invoice, and Customer records.
OAuth 2.0 / API Bearer Token authentication against the ApparelMagic Web API, scoped to a dedicated integration user.
Outbound 856/810/846 generation is micro-batched and throttled to ApparelMagic's per-minute API rate limits, with a request queue that backs off on rate-limit responses instead of locking user sessions.
Failed posts retry idempotently using the partner PO number as the external reference on the ApparelMagic Sales Order, so a dropped connection never creates a duplicate order. Because ApparelMagic ships continuous cloud service updates, the connector re-validates maps against a sandbox endpoint after each release before live traffic resumes.

Tailored Integration Workflows for Your Industry
Discover how businesses in distinct sectors run ApparelMagic integration workflows to meet stringent partner compliance mandates.
Textiles & Apparel
Apparel POs arrive as size-color grids and prepacks that must resolve to master SKUs before anything posts. The integration expands each line into variant-level ApparelMagic Sales Orders and returns ASNs with carton detail that matches retailer routing guides.
E-commerce
Marketplace and drop-ship programs enforce tight ship-confirm SLAs, with deductions for every late or missing ASN. Each fulfillment event captured from ApparelMagic returns an 856 to channels like Amazon Vendor Central before the window closes.
Retail
Big-box compliance hinges on ASN accuracy, correct GS1-128 labels, and invoice price alignment. Every document validates against the partner's rulebook before transmission, keeping deductions off your month-end report.
Where do ApparelMagic EDI connections usually break down in production?
Most EDI failures occur when business rules, custom ERP fields, and trading partner validation are not aligned in real time.
Every 860 is validated against the original 850 and live order status before it reaches ApparelMagic. Lines already picked or shipped flag for review instead of silently overwriting quantities, and an 824 application advice reports the outcome back to the buyer automatically.
Fulfillment events captured through ApparelMagic event triggers and API polling start ASN assembly the moment each Shipment record confirms. Carton-level detail and GS1-128 label data validate against the partner's routing guide before transmission. The 856 lands inside Walmart and Target compliance windows, so chargebacks never trigger.
Pre-translation validation compares every invoice line against PO price and shipped quantity before the 810 posts to ApparelMagic. Tolerance breaches quarantine for review, so you resolve the discrepancy before the partner's payables system converts it into a deduction.
