What is Concentric EDI?
Concentric EDI is the structured electronic exchange of manufacturing purchase orders, acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices between Concentric and its supply chain trading partners. It enforces strict X12 compliance across order-to-cash workflows, synchronizing ERP data through AS2 or VAN transport so production schedules, shipments, and billing remain aligned without manual re-entry or reconciliation delays.

Concentric
EDI Integration
& Compliance
Concentric sits at the demanding end of the manufacturing supply chain — one mis-mapped segment or a late 856 ASN, and chargebacks start stacking up while shipments stall. Their routing guide calls for AS2 and VAN connectivity, strict document sequencing, and flawless data across every 850, 855, 856, and 810. Cogential IT's Cloud EDI Platform absorbs that complexity entirely: we configure the connections, pre-map the segments, and run each document through our proprietary Validation Engine against Concentric's EDI Compliance rules before transmission. The outcome is simple — zero chargebacks, 99.9% data accuracy, and a fully-managed EDI operation that never requires an in-house IT team.

Fully-Managed, Zero-Lift OnboardingCogential IT handles the entire Concentric onboarding — AS2 and VAN connection setup, mapping, testing, and certification. Your team never touches a routing guide or implementation spec; we effectively become your EDI department.
-
Complete Order-to-Cash AutomationEvery transaction set Concentric requires is pre-built and production-ready: 850 Purchase Orders in, 855 Acknowledgements out, 856 ASNs transmitted on time, and 810 Invoices generated automatically — no rekeying, no delays, no missed windows.
-
Pre-Configured Segment MappingConcentric's complex segment-level requirements are already translated inside our platform. We convert their specifications into clean, structured data that syncs seamlessly with your ERP, accounting, or warehouse system — no custom coding on your side.
-
Real-Time Error InterceptionOur proprietary Validation Engine inspects every outbound document against Concentric's exact business rules before it leaves your system — catching missing segments, invalid qualifiers, and pricing mismatches while they are still free to fix.
Where does Concentric compliance usually get stuck?
Most compliance issues happen when manufacturing operations and EDI mapping are managed separately from ERP workflows.
Barcode labels, packing slips, and 856 ASN data are validated together so carton-level detail never diverges.
Invoice data flows from acknowledged orders and ship notices, keeping pricing, quantities, and terms within tolerance.
Why Manufacturers Trust Us for Concentric EDI Compliance
We combine manufacturing ERP depth, prebuilt Concentric mappings, and round-the-clock monitoring so your team never chases rejected documents or chargeback disputes.
Prebuilt Concentric Mapping Library
Our library carries tested Concentric transaction templates, cutting onboarding weeks down to days with proven, audit-ready mapping logic.
Deep Manufacturing ERP Expertise
We integrate Concentric EDI with Epicor, SAP, Infor, and Plex so production and finance teams work from one dataset.
Label and ASN Data Alignment
Barcode labels and packing slips are generated from the same dataset as your 856, eliminating carton mismatches at receiving docks.
24/7 AS2 and VAN Monitoring
Certificate expirations, connection drops, and stalled transfers are caught by our monitoring desk before they interrupt Concentric document flow.
Zero Manual Re-Entry Workflows
Orders, acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices move straight into your ERP, removing spreadsheet work and double-keying errors entirely.
Compliance Testing Before Go-Live
Every transaction set passes certification testing against Concentric requirements before production, so your first live document is already compliant.
