What is QRS Catalog EDI?
QRS Catalog EDI is the standardized electronic exchange of retail product catalog and inventory data between suppliers and QRS. It ensures compliant, automated synchronization of price/sales catalogs (832) and inventory inquiries/advices (846) to maintain accurate omnichannel product information across the retail supply chain.
Operational Focus
Retail catalog and inventory data compliance focus
Validate 832 catalog structure and attribute mapping to QRS specifications.
Ensure 846 inventory updates reflect real-time stock levels without manual re-entry.
Maintain VAN-based communication stability for continuous data exchange.
CLOUD EDI PLATFORM
QRS Catalog EDI Integration
& Compliance
Rooted in retail data synchronization since its establishment in 1988 out of Richmond, California, QRS Catalog remains an industry benchmark for price, item master, and inventory alignment. Meeting their rigorous catalog formatting demands requires relentless accuracy; a single mismatched SKU or out-of-sequence segment risks catalog rejection and vendor deactivation. Through our fully managed Cloud EDI Platform, Cogential IT takes the friction out of catalog synchronization, ensuring seamless value-added network (VAN) routing and automated transaction handling with our reduced chargebacks assurance.

Does 846 inventory data align with your WMS in real time?
Stale inventory feeds cause overselling or stockouts, eroding retailer trust and compliance scores.

VAN misconfigurations disrupt catalog and inventory transmissions, triggering compliance violations.
