What does an Amazon Vendor EDI integration mean?

EDI integration allows you to send and receive messages to Amazon Vendor. 

You can see a full overview of what can and can't be sent for both retail and direct fulfilment in our recent article here.

Benefits of EDI

Automate many day-to-day functions such as:

• Downloading orders (EDI 850)
• Confirming orders (EDI855)
• Managing stock (COSTINV)
• Creating shipments (EDI856)
• Invoicing (EDI810)

+ Become Licence plate-receive compliant if using the EDI856 ASN message.

Cons of EDI

• Limited functionality, you still have to manage promotions and content manually 
• Setup costs can be more suited to larger businesses 
• Takes some time to configure and setup
• Not a 'magic bullet' for solving all operational problems. 

Do I need EDI? 

If you agree with 2 or more of these statements, then EDI Integration could be a good step for you:

1. Our business spends a lot of time processing orders from Vendor Central.
2. Our stock is frequently over/under-sold or double allocated when dealing with Amazon.
3. We don't have a good idea of top selling Amazon items.
4. Our warehouse is waiting a long time before they have a pick list 
5. Our warehouse is waiting a long time to receive back shipment labels 
6. Invoicing to Vendor central is slow and often inaccurate.
7. We plan to be using Amazon Vendor for the foreseeable future (>12 months)
