THE INSIDE STORY
Your EDI Bridge to Under The Sun
Becoming a compliant Under The Sun vendor demands more than software — it demands deep knowledge of their routing guides, transaction sets, and chargeback policies. Here's why Cogential IT is the trusted EDI partner for Under The Sun integrations.
PARTNER PROFILE
Under The Sun : A Cogential IT Perspective
Under The Sun, a leading player in the manufacturing sector with a strong footprint in outdoor living products, enforces one of the most unforgiving routing guides in the industry. Their AS2 and VAN communication protocols demand seamless EDI 850 purchase orders, EDI 856 advance ship notices, and 810/855 transactions—all synchronized with GS1-128 barcode labels and branded packing slips. One missed segment or misaligned barcode triggers immediate chargebacks and vendor scorecard penalties. Cogential IT's fully managed cloud EDI platform absorbs this complexity, delivering reduced chargebacks compliance and 99.9% data accuracy without burdening your IT team.
EDI REQUIREMENTS
What Under The Sun Expects From EDI Vendors

Every 850 is checked for mandatory segments, every 856 is validated against carton-level GS1-128 barcodes and branded packing slip requirements, and every 810/855 is cross-referenced for pricing and quantity mismatches. The result? You see actionable error insights in minutes, not days—and you stop chargebacks at the source.
