Select your fulfillment type to see requirements
The 850 specifies style, color, size, quantity, ship window, and destination DC. Review carefully — Ashley Stewart's 850 includes department, class, and vendor style numbers.
Acknowledge every PO within the required window. Line-level confirmations must include confirmed quantity, price, and ship date per SKU.
All garments must be ticketed to Ashley Stewart's specifications — hangtags, size stickers, and UPC barcodes as directed in the vendor routing guide.
The ASN must be transmitted before the physical goods reach the DC. Missing or late ASNs trigger chargebacks. Include carton count, weights, and carrier details.
Submit one electronic invoice per PO. Invoice must reflect confirmed quantities only — do not invoice for items that were not shipped.
For dropship POs, the 850 will carry the consumer's name, address, and any gift or personalization instructions instead of a DC location.
All dropship orders must ship with Ashley Stewart's branded packing slip. Your company name and logo must not appear anywhere on the package.
Carrier tracking number must be included in the 856 ASN at the time of shipment. Ashley Stewart uses this to proactively notify customers of their order status.
Do not combine multiple consumer orders into a single ASN. Each dropship order requires its own 856 tied to the specific consumer PO.
Consumer-level order volumes demand automation. SBSA connects Ashley Stewart's dropship POs directly to your WMS or ERP for hands-free fulfillment.
New suppliers must submit item setup, cost sheets, and compliance documentation before first order.
We handle all technical EDI onboarding with Ashley Stewart's EDI team on your behalf.
SBSA builds the full translation layer — SKU mapping, UPC matching, size/color grids — before testing begins.
We send test 855, 856, and 810 documents and validate every field before going live.
SBSA monitors your first production transactions closely to catch any edge cases before they become chargebacks.
Ashley Stewart is one of America's most recognized fashion brands focused exclusively on plus-size women, sizes 10–36. With physical stores, a strong e-commerce platform, and a growing dropship program, Ashley Stewart demands that its supplier community meet strict EDI, packaging, and compliance standards that reflect the brand's premium retail experience.
Ashley Stewart designs, sources, and retails apparel, accessories, and lifestyle products for women sizes 10–36. As a supplier, your EDI workflow must reflect the complexity of fashion — style, color, size breakdowns, seasonal buys, and precise ticketing compliance required by every PO.
Ashley Stewart operates retail locations across the United States alongside a robust ashleystewart.com digital platform. The growth of their online channel means suppliers are increasingly asked to participate in dropship programs, bringing higher volume and stricter consumer-facing compliance expectations.
Ashley Stewart maintains a vendor routing guide that governs everything from ticketing and packing to EDI transaction timing and shipping carrier selection. Non-compliance results in chargebacks that directly impact your margin. SBSA Technology ensures every automated transaction meets or exceeds Ashley Stewart's compliance standards.
Ashley Stewart supports AS2, SFTP, and VAN for EDI transmission. SBSA Technology handles complete setup, testing, and ongoing compliance monitoring for all three protocols.
Direct Internet Connection
AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a secure, direct internet-based EDI protocol that transmits documents over HTTPS with digital certificates and MDN receipts. It's the fastest and most cost-effective option for high-volume suppliers.
Secure File Transfer Protocol
SFTP provides a simple folder-based EDI exchange where files are dropped to and picked from a secure server. It's often preferred by suppliers already using SFTP in other retail integrations or those with simpler technical environments.
Value-Added Network
A Value-Added Network is an EDI mailbox service that stores and routes transactions between trading partners. If you already have a VAN relationship (e.g. SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce, DiCentral), SBSA can connect Ashley Stewart through your existing VAN.
SBSA Technology supports core and supplemental Ashley Stewart EDI Integration EDI documents. Critical transactions are highlighted because they carry the highest compliance risk when transmitted incorrectly or late.
Ashley Stewart's PO kicks off the fulfillment cycle. Contains style, color, size, quantity, ship window, destination (DC or consumer), and all ticketing/routing instructions. Every PO must be acknowledged at line level.
InboundMust be sent promptly after PO receipt. Confirms ability to fulfill each line item. Used to communicate quantity changes, revised ship dates, or pricing discrepancies — all at the line item level per SKU.
Outbound Line-level acknowledgment required per SKUSent as shipment leaves your facility — before goods arrive at Ashley Stewart. Incomplete or late ASNs trigger chargebacks. Dropship orders must include carrier tracking number and trigger retailer-branded packing slip generation.
Outbound Must pre-transmit — late ASN = chargebackOne invoice per PO only. Invoice must reflect shipped quantities only — not original PO quantities. Invoicing unshipped items creates deductions and payment disputes.
Outbound Invoice shipped qty only — not original PO qtyConfirms syntactic validity of every transmitted document. SBSA monitors all 997 responses and surfaces rejections before they escalate into compliance issues.
OutboundAshley Stewart's payment order and remittance advice — auto-reconciles against open invoices and deduction records when transmitted, reducing manual payment-matching effort.
InboundBuyer-initiated PO modifications. Updates are applied at the line item level — quantity, cancellation, or delivery date changes are flagged and reflected in your system automatically.
InboundSupplier-initiated routing request submitted to Ashley Stewart's logistics team to obtain carrier and routing instructions before shipment. Required by some suppliers under Ashley Stewart's collect freight program.
OutboundAshley Stewart's response to a 753 Routing Request — provides carrier assignment, SCAC code, pickup appointment details, and freight terms for each shipment.

Exception Alerting & Compliance Monitoring
Common questions from fashion and apparel suppliers beginning their Ashley Stewart EDI compliance journey.
Ashley Stewart's standard document set includes the EDI 850 (Purchase Order received from Ashley Stewart), EDI 855 (PO Acknowledgment sent by the supplier), EDI 856 (Advance Ship Notice sent by the supplier), and EDI 810 (Invoice sent by the supplier). Functional 997 acknowledgments and occasional 824 Application Advice documents flow back to the supplier as well. SBSA handles all four outbound documents automatically.
Yes. Ashley Stewart has a drop ship / direct-to-consumer program where the supplier fulfills online orders directly to the end customer on Ashley Stewart's behalf. Drop ship orders arrive via EDI 850 with the customer's home address in the ship-to segment. An Ashley Stewart-branded packing slip is mandatory, tracking numbers must be in the ASN, and same-day or next-day shipping SLAs typically apply. SBSA automates the entire drop ship workflow — from order receipt to tracking upload — to meet these requirements.
Ashley Stewart enforces strict ASN compliance. A shipment that arrives at the distribution center without a prior ASN on file — or with an incomplete ASN — is subject to a financial chargeback deducted from payment. This is one of the most preventable and costly compliance failures for fashion suppliers. SBSA transmits the EDI 856 ASN automatically the moment your carrier confirms pickup, ensuring Ashley Stewart always receives the ASN before the goods arrive.
Yes. Ashley Stewart's 850 POs include a "do not ship before" date and a cancel date. Shipping before the start date or after the cancel date can both trigger chargebacks — early shipments cause warehousing and receiving issues; late shipments miss the selling window. SBSA's compliance monitoring alerts your team as POs approach their ship window so no order is ever shipped outside the approved dates.
Yes. All inbound shipments to Ashley Stewart's distribution center must carry GS1-128 (formerly UCC-128) compliant carton labels. The label data must match the EDI 856 ASN exactly — including the SSCC-18 serial shipping container code, PO number, item UPCs, and quantities. SBSA generates GS1-128-compliant labels automatically from your ASN data and validates them against Ashley Stewart's labeling specification before your team prints them.
Yes — SBSA provides pre-built connectors for NetSuite, SAP (ECC and S/4HANA), Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle ERP Cloud, and many other platforms. Ashley Stewart 850 purchase orders are automatically delivered into your ERP as sales orders, and your ship confirmations and invoices are automatically converted to EDI 856 and 810 and transmitted to Ashley Stewart. For custom or legacy ERPs, SBSA builds a tailored integration.
