ShipHero EDI FAQs
Zero-Click Definition
What is ShipHero EDI Integration?
ShipHero EDI Integration is a technical mapping workflow that automates X12 transaction exchanges between ShipHero's warehouse management platform and trading partner ERP systems. It translates 940 warehouse shipping orders into actionable pick-pack-ship instructions, then triggers 945 shipping advice, 856 ship notice, and 846 inventory updates, ensuring real-time data synchronization across the supply chain.

Stable EDI protocol connections.
ShipHero EDI COMPLIANCE
Where do ShipHero EDI maps commonly break down?
Most compliance issues stem from mismatched 940 routing codes and delayed 945 confirmations.
01
Why do 940 warehouse orders fail routing validation?
Incorrect partner-specific routing codes in ShipHero fields cause immediate rejection without a dedicated mapping audit.
02
Why does asynchronous 945 advice disrupt reconciliation?
Delayed 945 transmissions leave ERP picking confirmations pending, creating double-shipment risks and invoice errors.
03
What causes 856 ASN transmission failures?
Unstable AS2 MDN receipts and improper certificate rotation break the handshake, halting outbound advance ship notices.
