Which EDI documents are included?

The set is confirmed per retailer during scoping. Commonly traded transactions include the purchase order, acknowledgement, ship notice, invoice and adjustment; retailers differ, so we do not claim a fixed set here.

Do we keep our SPS Commerce relationship?

Yes. SPS remains your trading network; APIWORX handles the mapping, the Intacct posting and the day-to-day exception work.

Will this stop chargebacks?

No integration stops a retailer raising deductions. What it does is make each one traceable to a PO, shipment and invoice so you can dispute it with evidence.

APIWORX monitors and works the exception queue, escalating to your named finance and operations contacts when a decision is needed.

APIWORX Provides the Service

Yes. APIWORX connects Sage Intacct and SPS Commerce.

But connecting the applications is only the beginning. The work that costs you time sits in the process running between them.

APIWORX automates that process end to end — the objects moving between Sage Intacct and SPS Commerce, the ownership rules that decide which system wins, the exceptions when a record will not post, and the monitoring that tells someone before your team finds out from a customer.

Who this is for

This page is for finance and supply-chain teams trading with retailers through SPS Commerce while Sage Intacct holds the ledger.

What needs to be in place

An active SPS Commerce relationship with the retailers and document types you trade identified.
Sage Intacct with API access and a service user permitted to create the transactions in scope.
Agreed accounts and dimensions for retailer revenue, allowances and deductions.
A warehouse or 3PL able to act on released orders and return the detail a ship notice requires.

When you may not need this

A single retailer with a handful of orders a week can be worked in the SPS web portal. This is for teams where retailer count, document volume or chargeback exposure has made portal keying an ongoing cost.

What is out of scope

The exact document set is confirmed per retailer during scoping — retailer requirements differ and we do not claim a fixed set here.
APIWORX does not negotiate retailer terms, allowances or compliance programmes on your behalf.
Label and packaging compliance remains a warehouse responsibility; the integration supplies the data it needs.

What actually moves, and who owns it

A representative scope using commonly-traded retailer documents. Which documents apply to each of your retailers is confirmed before build.

Three decisions that make or break this integration

Retailer orders becoming accounting documents

An inbound retailer PO carries item numbers, costs, ship windows and location detail that all need a defined home in Intacct. Those decisions are made once, so orders post consistently rather than being interpreted differently each week.

Retailer item numbers mapped to Intacct items rather than approximated.
Cost expectations compared against your agreed price list so mismatches surface before invoicing.
Ship-to locations mapped so distribution centres are distinguishable.
Unmapped values stop the line with a named exception.

Invoices that match what shipped

Most retailer invoice rejections trace back to a mismatch between PO, shipment and invoice. Invoices are generated from posted Intacct documents and carry the PO and shipment references, so a rejection can be investigated rather than guessed at.

Invoice built from the posted Intacct invoice so ledger and submission agree.
PO and ASN references carried through for traceability.
Rejections captured with the retailer's reason and worked as exceptions.
Recurring rejection reasons raised as mapping or process changes.

Deductions visible in the ledger

Chargebacks and allowances erode margin quietly. Bringing adjustments into Intacct against the originating PO or invoice puts them in the accounts and gives your team something to dispute with.

Adjustments posted to nominated accounts rather than netted invisibly against revenue.
Each adjustment linked to a PO or invoice reference where the data allows.
Amounts you intend to dispute held for review rather than written off.
Whether line-level matching is available depends on the retailer data and is confirmed in scoping.

Reliability and ownership

The operating rules that apply to this workflow after go-live.

Every document is logged with its control reference and the retailer it belongs to, so a transaction can be traced end to end.
Failed documents are retried on a defined schedule; anything still failing is held in an exception queue rather than partially processed.
Duplicate prevention keys on the retailer's own purchase order or document identifier.
Exceptions are worked by the APIWORX team and escalated to your named contacts when a business decision is needed.
New retailers, new document types and changed requirements are handled as mapping work inside the ongoing engagement.
Support windows and response commitments live in your agreement; this page does not state an SLA.
