What is FSI EDI?
FSI EDI is the electronic exchange of business documents between suppliers and FSI, covering purchase orders, ship notices, invoices, and inventory updates. It replaces manual data entry with a direct digital connection, so your ERP and FSI's systems stay aligned. To trade with FSI, vendors typically need to send and receive X12 documents over AS2 or a VAN, follow FSI's mapping specifications, and meet labeling and ASN requirements.

FSI expects advance ship notices before goods arrive. Missing the ASN window can mean delayed receiving, rejected loads, and automatic deductions.
Yes. Invoices must match the purchase order and shipment details exactly. Discrepancies in quantities, prices, or item numbers can delay payment.

Validate Every FSI Document Before It Leaves Your System
Before any ASN, invoice, or inventory update is sent to FSI, our platform scrubs it against FSI's rulebook, checking segment structure, mandatory fields, UPC alignment, and shipment quantities.
