What is WB Mason EDI?
WB Mason orders office products, breakroom supplies, and furniture through a steady stream of electronic purchase orders, so your system needs to confirm each order, ship with an advance notice, and invoice automatically. A WB Mason EDI integration links your warehouse or ERP directly to their replenishment cycle, keeping stock levels and delivery windows accurate. That prevents rejected shipments, billing disputes, and interruptions in their next-day delivery promise.
Core WB Mason EDI Workflows
Receive WB Mason 850 purchase orders automatically through AS2 and feed them straight into your ERP order entry queue.

Generate WB Mason 856 ASNs with GS1-128 carton labels so shipments scan cleanly at the dock.
WB Mason Purchase-to-Invoice ERP Synchronization
WB Mason expects suppliers to handle the full order-to-cash cycle electronically, from the moment a purchase order arrives to the moment the invoice is paid. Cogential IT builds a single connected pipeline that pulls 850 orders into your ERP, pushes back 855 acknowledgments, generates 856 ASNs with barcode labels, and submits 810 invoices with all references intact. Our B2B EDI Integration approach removes the manual handoffs that cause delays, deductions, and missed shipments.
