Retail Network
Trading PartnerWhat is Infor Distribution SX.e EDI Integration?
Infor Distribution SX.e EDI Integration automatically converts inbound 850 purchase orders from retailers like Walmart and Home Depot into native SX.e Sales Orders — no re-keying, no swivel-chair entry. As your team picks, ships, and invoices, Business Events capture Fulfillment/Shipment and AR Invoice records and transmit 856 ASNs and 810 invoices back to each partner inside their compliance windows. Every document is schema-validated and business-rule checked before it ever touches your SX.e database.
Zero-Touch EDI Reliability for SX.e
-
Every inbound 850 passes pre-translation schema and business-rule validation before it ever becomes an SX.e Sales Order.
-
Business Events keep inventory advice and shipment confirmations synchronized both directions across every warehouse subinventory you run.
-
Documents move over AS2, SFTP, or VAN connections with encryption and 997 acknowledgment tracking on every transmission.
Raw EDI in. Posted Infor Distribution SX.e Sales Orders out.
Retailer 850 purchase orders land over AS2, SFTP, or VAN and pass gateway-level envelope, 997 acknowledgment, and map validation before any ERP call is made. Each PO1 line resolves against SX.e Master Part IDs, GTINs, and Customer Material Info Records, then prices against customer-specific contract terms. Clean documents post through SX.e REST / SOAP Web Services as native Sales Order records with business unit, organization, and warehouse subinventory populated. Outbound, SX.e Business Events fire 856, 810, 855, and 846 documents assembled from real fulfillment, AR invoice, and inventory data — no nightly batch drops.

Bidirectional Pipeline & Native Architecture for Infor Distribution SX.e
Whiteboard-level breakdown of document intake, field defaults, cross-reference mapping, and runtime handshake constraints.
A Walmart or Home Depot 850 arrives over AS2, is validated against SX.e master item, Customer Material Info Record, and contract pricing, then posts via REST / SOAP Web Services as a native Sales Order without human re-entry. An 855 PO acknowledgment returns from the order-accepted state within each partner's acknowledgment SLA, and 860 change requests are honored only while the order remains unallocated.
Runtime Field Defaults
| ERP Field | Assignment Rule | Failure Prevented |
|---|---|---|
Default Business Unit, Organization & Warehouse Subinventory |
When the N1*ST loop carries a missing or unmapped DC code, the order routes to the default warehouse subinventory under the customer's assigned organization and business unit. | Prevents orders landing in an unassigned warehouse subinventory or failing business-unit-level general ledger posting. |
Order Status & Credit Hold Flag |
New EDI orders post into an entered, credit-hold status and stay unallocated until the customer's credit limit and stock availability checks pass. | Guarantees the credit check and available-to-promise allocation finish before the warehouse ever sees a pick ticket. |
Fallback Customer & Account Entity |
The N1*BY partner account number resolves through the SX.e customer master and ship-to cross-reference to the correct sold-to entity; unmatched accounts park in the exception queue rather than defaulting to a generic customer. | Prevents high-volume retail orders from posting to unknown guest accounts or the wrong billing entity. |
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')
→
Infor Distribution SX.e Master Part ID, GTIN Field, or Customer Material Info Record
|
Cogential resolves each PO1 line by GTIN lookup on the Master Item, falling back to the Customer Material Info Record that ties the buyer's part number to the internal Master Part ID. Kit master parts explode into component demand using the item's bill of material before the order posts. |
| Ship-To Store & DC Location Mapping |
Partner N1*ST Store or Distribution Center Identification Code
→
Infor Distribution SX.e Ship-To Address Record & Warehouse Subinventory
|
Retailer DC codes translate directly into SX.e ship-to address records and determine which warehouse subinventory within the organization fulfills each line. New or unrecognized store and DC codes route to exception review instead of silently creating orphan addresses. |
| Unit of Measure (UOM) Multiplier |
Retailer Ordering UOM (e.g., Case 'CA', Inner Pack 'IP')
→
Infor Distribution SX.e Base Stocking UOM (Each 'EA')
|
Pack-size multipliers from the item's unit-of-measure conversions translate ordered cases into stocking eaches so warehouse bin deductions match physical picks. |
Pre-Translation Validation Guards
Fingerprints the partner ID plus the 850's BEG03 purchase order number and queries SX.e for existing open or closed Sales Order records carrying the same reference.
Compares each PO1-04 unit price against SX.e customer contract pricing and agreed trade terms within a defined tolerance percentage.
Validates the DTM delivery window on each line against current warehouse lead times and allocation load.
Shipment confirmation and AR invoice creation in SX.e fire Business Events that Cogential converts into 856 ASNs built from real fulfillment lines and SSCC-18 carton loops, plus 810 invoices carrying actual AR charges. 855 acknowledgments and 846 inventory advice drawn from live warehouse subinventory balances ride the same outbound integration messages, so partner compliance windows close without manual intervention.
Fulfillment & Packaging Defaults
| Parameter | Fallback Rule | Failure Prevented |
|---|---|---|
Carrier SCAC & Routing Defaults |
When the SX.e shipment record lacks an explicit carrier assignment, the mapping applies a fallback SCAC drawn from the customer's routing guide profile. | Retailer receiving portals reject ASNs that carry missing or invalid SCAC codes. |
GS1-128 SSCC-18 Barcode Structure |
The GS1 company prefix is applied to every 18-digit SSCC-18 serial shipping container code, and matching GS1-128 labels plus partner-spec packing slips print at pack-out since barcode labels and packaging slips are required for this deployment. | Guarantees globally unique carton tracking numbers that scan cleanly at retail distribution centers like Home Depot. |
Outbound Normalization & Codes
| Mapping Type | Source ERP → Target EDI | Resolution Logic |
|---|---|---|
| ERP Shipping Method to Carrier SCAC |
Infor Distribution SX.e Ship-Via / Carrier Code on the Shipment Record
→
Trading Partner SCAC (e.g., UPSN, FDEG, ODFL)
|
Maps internal ship-via codes to formal four-character SCACs on the 856's carrier detail, honoring each retailer's routing guide overrides. |
| Tax & Allowance Charge Codes |
Infor Distribution SX.e AR Invoice Freight, Discount & Tax Details
→
EDI SAC Segment Codes
|
Translates freight surcharges, discounts, and regional taxes into standardized SAC allowance and charge codes so 820 remittance deduction codes reconcile cleanly against open AR invoice line items. |
Outbound Dispatch & Timing Guards
Ensures total shipped quantities on the SX.e shipment match physical carton scans and never exceed the original 850 line quantities.
Verifies the 856 transmits and receives a 997 acknowledgment before the carrier arrives at the destination DC, including Walmart's tight ASN arrival window.
Infor Distribution SX.e REST / SOAP Web Services operating on native Business Objects, with Interface Tables used for high-volume staging and reconciliation.
OAuth 2.0 with token-based authentication per the SX.e web services security model; credentials rotate through a managed token store and are never hard-coded in maps.
Cogential micro-batches posts and queues outbound messages so dialog work processes and RFC session connection quotas are never exhausted, keeping interactive SX.e user sessions free.
Failed posts retry idempotently using business object external keys, and stuck documents park in SX.e Interface Tables or the Cogential exception queue for replay; partner 824 Application Advice rejections parse back into the same queue with root-cause codes attached.

Tailored Integration Workflows for Your Industry
Discover how businesses in distinct sectors leverage Infor Distribution SX.e EDI to meet stringent partner compliance mandates.
Wholesale & Distribution
Distribution runs on multi-DC inventory accuracy — an 846 that lags reality triggers stockouts and lost POs. Infor Distribution SX.e EDI publishes warehouse subinventory positions across every business unit on a schedule your partners can trust.
Construction & Building Materials
Builders' merch and jobsite deliveries live or die on unit-of-measure accuracy — a bundle billed as eaches is an instant deduction. The integration enforces UOM conversions at the 855 acknowledgment stage, before the discrepancy ever reaches the dock.
Furniture & Home Goods
Case packs, component sets, and drop-ship to consumer make furniture ASNs notoriously complex. Infor Distribution SX.e EDI explodes kits into carton-level 856 detail so the pallet on the truck matches the manifest at the retailer's DC.
Electronics
High-value electronics demand GTIN-level item resolution and strict label compliance — one mismatched barcode is a chargeback. Infor Distribution SX.e EDI resolves items through Customer Material Info Records and validates every label against partner specs before dispatch.
Consumer Goods
Big-box programs bring tight ship-confirm windows and aggressive compliance deductions. The integration transmits 856 ASNs within each retailer's window and reconciles 820 remittances against open invoices to catch short-pays early.
Where do Infor Distribution SX.e 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.
Pre-translation validation resolves every line through Customer Material Info Records and GTIN lookups before the order reaches SX.e. Lines that cannot be resolved are quarantined with an alert instead of posting a broken Sales Order. Interface-table staging absorbs order spikes without exhausting your dialog work processes.
SX.e Business Events fire outbound integration messages the moment a Fulfillment/Shipment record confirms dispatch, so the ASN transmits inside the window — not hours later. GS1-128 pallet and carton labels generate from the same package data as the 856, so what is on the truck matches what the DC scans.
Every 810 is three-way matched against the original 850 and the 855 acknowledgment before it posts to your AR ledger. Tolerance checks flag unit price, freight, and tax discrepancies for review instead of letting the partner catch them. 820 remittance and 812 adjustment data then reconcile any deductions that do occur.
