Smittys Lumber EDI is the structured electronic exchange of purchase orders, acknowledgments, ship notices, and invoices between Smittys Lumber and its construction and building materials trading partners. It replaces manual order entry with validated X12 document flows, synchronized ERP data, and AS2 or VAN transport, keeping every shipment, carton, and billing cycle compliant and audit-ready.
Validate every 850, 855, 856, and 810 against Smittys Lumber mapping rules before transmission to prevent chargebacks.
Sync purchase orders, acknowledgments, and ship notices directly into your ERP to eliminate rekeying and order errors.
Maintain stable AS2 and VAN connections with continuous monitoring, retries, and acknowledgments for uninterrupted document flow.
