SYSTEM READYWhat is ShipRush EDI Integration?
ShipRush EDI Integration automatically converts inbound trading partner orders into native ShipRush sales orders and shipment records, ready to rate, label, and dispatch. As freight processes, the integration pushes 856 ship notices, 945 warehouse advices, and 214 carrier status updates straight back to partners like Walmart and Amazon Vendor Central. Shipment-driven sales invoices post to ShipRush with every validated document, keeping fulfillment and billing in lockstep without manual entry.
Zero-Touch Shipping Compliance in ShipRush
-
Every inbound 940 and partner order passes pre-translation schema and business-rule validation before it ever touches a ShipRush sales order.
-
Shipment confirmations, carrier statuses, and warehouse advices sync in both directions so ShipRush fulfillment data always matches what your partners see.
-
Trading partner traffic moves over AS2, SFTP, and VAN connections with encryption and acknowledgment tracking on every exchange.
Raw EDI in. Posted ShipRush Sales Orders out.
Live partner documents arrive over AS2, SFTP, or VAN and clear gateway-level envelope, partner-profile, and X12 syntax validation before mapping runs. The mapper resolves every 940 line against ShipRush's master SKU and variant barcode records plus the branch and warehouse location table. Clean documents post into native ShipRush sales orders through the REST Web Services / Web API connector in near real time, keyed on the partner order number so retransmits stay idempotent. On the outbound side, shipment confirmations inside ShipRush fire the 856 ASN, 945 shipping advice, and 214 status messages back through the same validated transport path.

Bidirectional Pipeline & Native Architecture for ShipRush
Whiteboard-level breakdown of document intake, field defaults, cross-reference mapping, and runtime handshake constraints.
A retailer or 3PL trading partner sends the 940 warehouse shipping order over AS2, SFTP, or VAN; the gateway validates the partner profile and X12 syntax, then the mapper resolves each W01 line against the ShipRush item master and the N1*ST ship-to against the branch's warehouse locations. The validated order posts straight into ShipRush as a native sales order via the REST Web Services / Web API — no re-keying, no nightly CSV drop — and the linked shipment record is seeded for rating and label generation.
Runtime Field Defaults
| ERP Field | Assignment Rule | Failure Prevented |
|---|---|---|
Default Branch / Company & Warehouse Location |
When the N1*ST ship-to code is absent or unmapped, the order routes to the partner profile's designated default warehouse location under the correct branch, and the shipment's ship-from address inherits that location. | Prevents ShipRush from rating and printing carrier labels from the wrong origin warehouse, which corrupts freight costs and invalidates the ASN. |
Order Status & Release-to-Ship Flag |
New 940-derived orders land in an unconfirmed open status and release to the shipping queue only after address validation, item resolution, and any 860 change request absorption complete. | Ensures no label prints and no carrier spend commits before the order data is verified and buyer changes are absorbed. |
Fallback Customer & Account Entity |
The N1*BY buying-party code resolves through the partner cross-reference to a native ShipRush customer record, and unmatched codes attach to a designated house account flagged for review instead of auto-creating a customer. | Prevents high-volume retail orders from posting to unknown guest accounts, which breaks freight billing and downstream 945 and 820 reconciliation. |
Data Cross-Reference & Resolution
| Mapping Type | Source EDI → Target ERP | Resolution Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Item SKU & Part Number Translation |
Partner UPC/GTIN on the 940 W01 line item (product ID qualifier 'UP') or vendor catalog part number
→
ShipRush Master SKU & Variant Barcode
|
Cogential resolves each W01 identifier against the variant barcode on the ShipRush item master in real time, and multi-pack case quantities convert to the master SKU using the pack multiplier so shipment lines reflect sellable units. |
| Ship-To Store & DC Location Mapping |
Partner N1*ST Store or Distribution Center Identification Code
→
ShipRush Branch / Company & Warehouse Location
|
Retailer DC codes translate directly into the ShipRush ship-from warehouse location and its native address record, so rates, GS1-128 labels, and packing slips compute from the correct origin. |
| Unit of Measure (UOM) Multiplier |
Retailer Ordering UOM on the 940 W01 line (e.g., Case 'CA', Inner Pack 'IP')
→
ShipRush Base Stocking UOM (Each 'EA')
|
Automatic pack-size multipliers convert case quantities into eaches so carton counts, package splits, and per-carton weights feeding the rating engine stay accurate. |
Pre-Translation Validation Guards
Fingerprints the trading partner ID plus the 940's W06 warehouse order number and queries ShipRush for existing open and closed sales orders and shipments.
Compares the 940's freight payment terms (FOB payment code) and routing instructions against the ShipRush customer's contracted ship terms and default carrier profile.
Validates the 940's requested ship and cancel dates (G62 date qualifiers) against carrier cutoff times and warehouse processing lead times.
When a shipment confirms in ShipRush — labels printed, carton scans captured — the event trigger fires and the 856 ASN assembles from the real fulfillment lines and GS1-128 package loop, one 18-digit SSCC-18 per carton, while the 945 shipping advice returns shipment-level totals to the 940 originator. Both documents transmit over AS2, VAN, or SFTP inside partner compliance windows, and carrier tracking events feed 214 shipment status messages back to the trading partner.
Fulfillment & Packaging Defaults
| Parameter | Fallback Rule | Failure Prevented |
|---|---|---|
Carrier SCAC & Routing Defaults |
When the ShipRush shipment record lacks an explicit carrier assignment, the SCAC falls back to the routing instructions on the 940 or the customer profile's default carrier. | Retailer receiving portals reject ASNs carrying missing or invalid SCAC codes, stranding the freight at the dock. |
GS1-128 SSCC-18 Barcode Structure |
The GS1 company prefix attaches automatically to each 18-digit SSCC-18 generated per carton at label time, and the identical value populates the 856's package-level carton identification and the physical GS1-128 label. | Guarantees globally unique carton tracking numbers that scan cleanly at retail distribution centers and match the label on every box. |
Outbound Normalization & Codes
| Mapping Type | Source ERP → Target EDI | Resolution Logic |
|---|---|---|
| ERP Shipping Method to Carrier SCAC |
ShipRush Ship Via / Carrier Service Selection
→
Trading Partner SCAC (e.g., UPSN, FDEG, ODFL)
|
Maps ShipRush's per-shipment carrier and service selections to the formal 4-character SCAC and routing detail carried on the 856 and 945, including prepaid, collect, and third-party freight terms. |
| Tax & Allowance Charge Codes |
ShipRush Shipment Freight Charges & Service Surcharges
→
EDI Allowance/Charge Codes on the 812 Credit/Debit Adjustment
|
Translates billed freight, residential, and fuel surcharges into standardized EDI charge codes, and 820 remittance deduction codes reconcile against open ShipRush sales invoices. |
Outbound Dispatch & Timing Guards
Ensures shipped quantities on the ShipRush shipment match the physical carton scans and never exceed the original 940 line quantities.
Verifies the 856 has transmitted and cleared its 997 functional acknowledgment before the carrier arrives at the destination DC.
ShipRush REST Web Services / Web API over HTTPS — the same interface exposing sales orders, shipment/fulfillment records, sales invoices, and customers.
OAuth 2.0 with API bearer tokens, held in the integration layer's credential vault and refreshed automatically before expiry.
A client-side rate limiter queues and micro-batches REST calls against ShipRush's per-minute API rate limits, spacing requests so interactive users in the app are never locked out; large order drops release in controlled batches instead of one burst.
Failed posts retry idempotently keyed on the partner order number so a dropped connection never creates a duplicate sales order, and anything still failing parks in an exception queue while partner-level rejections return as 824 Application Advice or 997 functional acknowledgments for reprocessing. Continuous cloud updates on the ShipRush side are absorbed through version-pinned API calls validated against the sandbox before each release.

Tailored Integration Workflows for Your Industry
Discover how businesses in distinct sectors apply ShipRush EDI to meet stringent partner compliance mandates.
E-commerce
Drop-ship orders from Amazon Vendor Central and other marketplaces demand accurate ASNs and compliant labels, or sellers eat the penalties. ShipRush EDI converts each purchase order into a rated, labeled shipment and returns the 856 within the marketplace's compliance window.
Retail
Walmart, Target, and Home Depot enforce strict ASN and labeling windows, and every miss becomes a chargeback or deduction. ShipRush EDI transmits the 856 the moment cartons are sealed and validates GS1-128 labels against each retailer's routing guide before departure.
Wholesale & Distribution
Distributors ship from multiple branches and warehouse locations, and a stale fulfillment record ripples into stockouts and missed POs. ShipRush EDI keeps 940 orders, 945 advices, and 214 carrier statuses synchronized across every branch and warehouse location in real time.
3PLs
Third-party logistics providers live on clean 940 shipping orders and 945 advices — errors here mean billing disputes and churned clients. ShipRush EDI validates both flows and layers 214 carrier status updates so your clients see accurate shipment truth at every mile.
Where do ShipRush 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.
Asynchronous micro-queues absorb the burst and release documents at a pace ShipRush can process, retrying automatically on throttled calls. Pre-translation validation screens each 940 before it consumes an API call, and rejected documents generate 824 application advice so the partner knows immediately.
ShipRush event triggers and webhooks fire the moment a shipment is confirmed, generating the 856 from live package, weight, and SSCC-18 label data. AS2 transport delivers it within the partner's compliance window, which is what keeps ASN chargebacks off your deduction reports.
Pre-posting validation matches the 940 authorized quantities, the 945 shipped advice, and final carrier-rated charges before any sales invoice touches ShipRush. Mismatches quarantine for review instead of posting, so your ledger never absorbs a variance silently.
