Nordstrom EDI Compliance Made Easy

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.

Nordstrom 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.

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 Nordstrom EDI comparison chart…

Nordstrom EDI Requirements

Nordstrom’s vendor / partner EDI requirements documentation shows that EDI data is sent out Sunday for the previous week (Sunday-Saturday), that the 852 Product Activity File will include all UPC’s scanned during the previous week from all of their stores, and that this will be the net units sold. Nordstrom will not transmit dollar amounts or stock-on-hand amounts. Data will be sorted by department, UPC & quantity sold for each store. NPG Manufacturers will automatically receive an inventory file twice yearly after Nordstrom’s physical inventory counts in January and August.
