What is RLS Logistics EDI?
RLS Logistics EDI is the electronic exchange of warehouse shipping orders and shipping advice between shippers and the RLS 3PL network. It automates the flow of fulfillment data, ensuring that warehouse instructions, shipment confirmations, and advance ship notices are transmitted in a structured, compliant format that aligns with RLS Logistics’ operational and system requirements.

Where does RLS Logistics EDI compliance typically break down?
Most compliance issues arise when warehouse order data and shipment advice are not perfectly aligned with WMS workflows.
How does 945 timing affect compliance?
Late or incomplete 945 shipping advice triggers chargebacks and disrupts inventory reconciliation for the 3PL.
What causes ASN (856) failures with RLS?
Mismatched carton counts or missing barcode labels in the ASN lead to shipment refusal at the warehouse.
