What breaks without EDI in Acumatica
- Retailer orders are re-keyed from a portal into Acumatica, and typos reach the warehouse.
- Ship notices go out late or don't match what shipped, which can trigger retailer chargebacks.
- Invoices are built by hand, so amounts drift from the Acumatica ledger.
- Nobody owns rejected documents, so the same error repeats every week.

Retailers we connect
See the EDI requirements for each retailer:
How setup and the managed service work
Scope
We capture each retailer's document set, qualifiers and item identifiers, and agree how they map to Acumatica.
Build and test
We build the mappings and validation rules, then run test cycles with the retailer where their programme requires it.
Run
After go-live, the APIWORX team monitors document flows, works rejections and raises recurring issues as mapping or process changes.
Acumatica EDI FAQ
- Which EDI documents can you connect to Acumatica?
- Common retail sets are standard: 850 purchase orders, 855 acknowledgements, 856 ship notices, 810 invoices, 846 inventory advice and 997 acknowledgements. The exact set is confirmed per trading partner during scoping.
- Do we need a VAN?
- Usually you need a network or connection your trading partner supports. If you already have one we work with it; if not, options are reviewed during scoping.
- Does this replace our Acumatica setup?
- No. Orders, shipments and invoices stay in Acumatica as normal. The integration creates and reads those documents through Acumatica's API.
- Who fixes a rejected document?
- The APIWORX team investigates and corrects mapping or data issues, and escalates to your named contacts when a business decision or a partner conversation is needed.
- Do you onboard us with the retailer?
- No. Your trading agreement and any retailer onboarding stay with you. We build and test the document flows the retailer's programme requires.
