What is Three Source EDI?

Three Source EDI is the electronic exchange of manufacturing supply chain documents between suppliers and Three Source, ensuring compliance with their specific formatting and communication protocols. It automates processing of orders, acknowledgments, shipment notices, and invoices, integrating seamlessly with backend ERP systems to drive efficient order-to-cash cycles and reduce manual data entry.

Three Source EDI DOCUMENT MATRIX

Core EDI documents for Three Source compliance

Essential transaction sets for manufacturing order-to-invoice workflows.

01 850

Purchase Order

Initiates the order process; must map correctly to your ERP to trigger fulfillment without errors.

Workflow 02 855

Purchase Order Acknowledgment

Confirms PO acceptance or flags issues; critical for aligning expectations before production.

Workflow 03 856

Ship Notice/Manifest

Provides shipment details and ties to labels; must match carton contents for warehouse scanning.

Workflow 04 810

Invoice

Sends billing data post-shipment; accuracy ensures timely payment and reconciliation with Three Source.

Workflow

label and ASN readiness

Keep barcode, carton, ASN, and invoice data aligned

Barcode labels and packing slips must mirror the ASN to pass Three Source’s automated receiving and avoid compliance violations.

Label format compliance

Ensure GS1-128 or applicable barcode symbology matches Three Source’s vendor guide specs.

Carton content accuracy

Verify item counts and SKUs on the packing slip exactly match the ASN line items.

SSCC serialization

Assign unique SSCC numbers to pallets/cartons and embed them in both label and ASN.

Ship-to address mirroring

The label destination must be identical to the ship-to location in the 856 to prevent routing errors.
