What is Narvar EDI Integration?
Narvar EDI Integration is the automated exchange of electronic documents— such as the 856 Ship Notice/Manifest, 214 Shipment Status, and 812 Credit/Debit Adjustment—between a retailer’s ERP and the Narvar post‑purchase platform. It translates raw carrier data into branded tracking updates and returns workflows, ensuring real‑time delivery visibility for customers.

Narvar EDI COMPLIANCE
Where do Narvar integrations usually get stuck?
Most issues arise when shipment milestones aren’t translated into Narvar’s exact event taxonomy in real time.
01
Why do tracking updates break after a carrier switch?
New carrier status codes may not map to existing Narvar milestones unless the EDI mapping is rapidly adjusted.
02
How does missing 214 data impact customer experience?
Customers see no movement, contact support, and brand trust erodes because the post‑purchase promise is broken.
03
What causes 812 rejection in return workflows?
Incorrect GL codes or missing promotion references in the adjustment file trigger Narvar integration failures.
