What is Macys EDI?
Macys EDI is the electronic data interchange relationship between Macy's and its retail suppliers, enabling automated exchange of purchase orders, invoices, shipment notices and inventory updates. Suppliers connect to the Macys B2B Gateway using AS2 Direct Secure Communication and map required documents such as EDI 850 purchase orders, EDI 855 acknowledgments, EDI 856 ASNs, EDI 810 invoices and EDI 846 inventory inquiries to stay compliant with Macy's vendor requirements.

Macys 846/855 Validation Against Vendor Scorecard Rules
Before any document reaches Macy's, Cogential IT validates structure, partner-specific segments and business rules to reduce rejection risk. Our validation engine checks EDI 850 purchase orders for required dates and ship-to locations, confirms EDI 856 ASNs against carton and label data, and ensures EDI 810 invoices match purchase order and shipment records. We also monitor ERP Integration touchpoints so errors are caught at the source rather than after transmission. This proactive approach protects vendor scorecards, minimizes chargebacks and keeps Macy's supply chain moving smoothly.
