What is EDI? It’s an abbreviation for “Electronic Data Interchange”
EDI (“Electronic Data Interchange”) documents are used to pass electronic information from one company’s business system on to another while using a single, standardized format that both systems can interpret. EDI is the process of transmitting the data and the translation of that data into a more-standardized format. EDI empowers brands to share data electronically as opposed to paper document exchange and is therefore an important automation element for most business processes.

Lord + Taylor EDI / Portal FAQs
Lord + Taylor EDI / Portal Format Chart
Not every retailer is the same when it comes to EDI and/or Vendor Portal Data support. In fact, while EDI is fairly standard, the way that each retailer uses it varies a lot. One retailer has dollars sold in the EDI 852, another does not. Some retailers have a price segment in their EDI 852 document, while others do not. What are you supposed to do with that? Why does this retailer send inventory on hand in a separate EDI document and sales in another EDI document? Don’t worry! Here’s an easy Lord + Taylor EDI comparison chart…

Lord + Taylor EDI Tutorial / Partners Overview
Lord + Taylor has updated their documentation to reflect that it no longer requires or utilizes packing slips in the receiving process for vendors who implement Advanced Shipment Notices (ASN’s). However, if they haven’t received an accurate ASN prior to physical receipt of the shipment at their Distribution Center, a $10 per carton expense will be charged to the vendor.
Simple oversights or basic documentation errors can be a common (and significant) source of charge-backs or similar fees for unsuspecting partner vendors. However, these kinds of financial missteps, miscalculated inventory allocation, and general drain on resources can be averted with a solid understanding of Lord + Taylor’s EDI compliance terms.

Lord + Taylor EDI Guidelines
Whether already established, or building a new partnership with Lord + Taylor, EDI compliance is going to be a high priority for partners (vendors). EDI is the primary method of communication for many of the business documents exchanged with Lord + Taylor and missteps in compliance can be costly. However, in this exchange, both Lord + Taylor and the vendor have ample opportunity to help eliminate redundant or erroneous data entries. It should be noted that all Lord and Taylor EDI requirements do fall within accepted VICS guidelines.
Lord & Taylor EDI Requirements
Lord + Taylor’s EDI requirements documentation specifies that vendors must be EDI compliant. To do so, Lord + Taylor vendors (partners) must first complete the New Vendor forms, complete the online Vendor Profile Form, confirm that merchandise is GTIN-marked and assure that their Electronic GTIN catalog is accessible to Lord + Taylor via Inovis. An expense-offset fee is assessed for any vendor who can’t comply. Lord+Taylor vendors may get weekly or daily, store-level updates & restatements of SKU-level POS sales & inventory activity.
