Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club — EDI Compliance Paths

Select your fulfillment model to see requirements

1
EDI 850 Purchase Order received

PO specifies DC address, product lines, quantities, routing, and required ship window.

2
855 Acknowledgment within 1 business day

Confirm fulfillment ability at line item level. Flag quantity changes or ship date revisions immediately.

3
GS1-128 carton labels required

All cartons must carry compliant GS1-128 labels. Missing labels trigger receiving chargebacks.

4
856 ASN sent as shipment departs

Transmit ASN before the physical shipment arrives at the DC. Pre-arrival ASN is mandatory.

5
EDI 810 invoice per PO

One invoice per purchase order only. Auto-generated on shipment confirmation by SBSA.

1
Ship-to address is a Bloomingdale's store

The 850 PO identifies a specific Bloomingdale's retail location. Same document rules as DC shipments apply.

2
Bloomingdale's-branded packing slip required

All store shipments must include the retailer-branded packing slip generated from ASN data.

3
1 business day 855 deadline

Same PO acknowledgment deadline as DC replenishment — acknowledge and flag issues within 1 business day.

4
GS1-128 carton labels on every carton

Required on all units shipped to store locations. SBSA generates and validates labels pre-dispatch.

5
SBSA automates full store ship cycle

From 850 receipt through ASN, packing slip, and 810 invoice — completely automated.

1
Consumer address embedded in the 850

Dropship POs contain the end customer's name, address, and contact details. You ship directly to the consumer on Bloomingdale's behalf.

2
Bloomingdale's-branded packing slip is mandatory

Your brand must not appear on the shipment. All packing slips must carry Bloomingdale's branding.

3
Carrier tracking required in ASN

UPS, FedEx, or USPS tracking numbers must be embedded in the 856 ASN — no exceptions.

4
High volume — automation essential

Consumer-level order velocity requires end-to-end automation. SBSA connects dropship POs directly to your fulfillment system.

5
One ASN per shipment per destination

Never combine dropship orders in a single ASN. Each consumer shipment needs its own compliant ASN.

  • Best for: Smaller or less-technical suppliers
  • Monitoring: 24/7 document tracking and exception alerts
  • SBSA manages: Full VAN setup, routing & compliance

Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club EDI Integration EDI Transaction Set

SBSA Technology supports core and supplemental Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club EDI Integration EDI documents. Critical transactions are highlighted because they carry the highest compliance risk when transmitted incorrectly or late.

850

Purchase Order

Bloomingdale's PO initiates the fulfillment cycle. Specifies the destination (DC, store, or consumer), line items, quantities, ship dates, routing, and pricing. The ship-to address defines your required workflow.

Inbound
855

PO Acknowledgment

Must be transmitted within 1 business day of PO creation. Confirms fulfillment ability at line item level — use to report quantity adjustments, revised ship dates, or pricing discrepancies before the order ships.

Outbound 1 business day deadline — SBSA auto-fires within minutes
856

Advance Ship Notice

Transmitted as shipment leaves your facility. Must arrive before the physical goods. Incomplete or missing ASNs result in refused receipts or chargebacks. Triggers packing slip generation for dropship orders.

Outbound Pre-arrival mandatory — refusal & chargeback risk
810

Invoice

One invoice per PO only. EDI 810 is used for all standard product invoices. Auto-generated by SBSA at the point of shipment confirmation to prevent duplicate billing and payment delays.

Outbound One invoice per PO — no duplicates
997

Functional Acknowledgment

Confirms syntactic validity of every document exchanged. SBSA monitors all 997 responses and surfaces any rejections immediately — before they escalate into compliance issues.

Outbound
820

Payment Remittance

Bloomingdale's payment advice document — auto-reconciles against your open invoices when transmitted, reducing manual accounts receivable work.

Inbound
860

PO Change Request

Buyer-initiated PO modifications sent after the original 850. SBSA applies updates at line item level — quantity, pricing, or delivery changes are flagged and reflected in your ERP automatically.

Inbound

Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club EDI FAQ

Common questions from apparel, home, and lifestyle suppliers beginning their Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club EDI compliance journey.

Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club requires five mandatory transactions: EDI 850 (Purchase Order, inbound), EDI 855 (PO Acknowledgment, outbound within 1 business day), EDI 856 (Advance Ship Notice, outbound before physical arrival), EDI 810 (Invoice, outbound — one per PO), and EDI 997 (Functional Acknowledgment). Optional transactions include the 820 (Payment Remittance), 860 (PO Change Request), 832 (Price/Sales Catalog), and 864 (Text Message). SBSA supports all of them.

Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club suppliers ship to one of three destinations, specified in the EDI 850: (1) a Bloomingdale's Distribution Center — the standard wholesale replenishment model; (2) a Bloomingdale's retail store — same EDI requirements as DC but delivered to a store address; or (3) directly to the end consumer — where the customer's address and contact are embedded in the 850 PO and Bloomingdale's branding on all packaging is mandatory. SBSA handles all three paths with destination-aware automation.

Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club enforces strict pre-arrival ASN compliance. A shipment received at any Bloomingdale's location without a valid ASN on file, or where the ASN arrives after the physical goods, can be refused or subject to a chargeback. A refused shipment means the goods are returned at your cost — one of the most expensive outcomes in retail supplier compliance. SBSA transmits the 856 ASN automatically the moment your shipment departs your facility, eliminating this risk entirely.

Yes. All DC replenishment and store ship orders require GS1-128 (UCC-128) carton labels on every shipping carton. For consumer dropship orders, standard carrier-generated labels are acceptable, but a Bloomingdale's-branded packing slip is mandatory for every consumer shipment — and your supplier branding must not appear anywhere on the package. SBSA generates GS1-128 labels and dropship packing slips automatically from your ASN data.

Yes — and SBSA is well-positioned to do this. As an Intuit Silver Partner, SBSA has a certified integration between Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club EDI and both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise. Purchase orders flow in from Bloomingdale's as QuickBooks Sales Orders automatically. When the ASN is transmitted, QuickBooks invoices are generated instantly — no manual re-keying. Payment remittances (820) are reconciled against open invoices automatically. SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, and other ERPs are also fully supported.

Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club expects complete order fulfillment. If you cannot fulfill certain items on the PO, you must communicate this in your EDI 855 PO Acknowledgment — updating the quantity, providing a revised ship date, or flagging the line as backordered. Never enter a quantity of zero on the ASN for an unfulfillable item — remove the line entirely instead, as a zero-quantity line is treated as noncompliant data. Backordered items should never be cancelled without communication; always flag them with a revised ship date in the 855.

Most suppliers achieve full compliance and go-live within 2–4 weeks with SBSA Technology. The timeline covers: completing the initial questionnaire, configuring your connection (AS2, SFTP, or VAN), mapping all required EDI documents (850, 855, 856, 810, 997), integrating with your ERP or fulfillment system, testing in Bloomingdale's sandbox environment, and receiving go-live certification. Timeline can vary based on ERP complexity and the number of fulfillment paths being activated.

Yes — Bloomingdale's Wholesale Club's dropship program is one of its fastest-growing supplier channels. In the dropship model, Bloomingdale's sends you an EDI 850 with the end consumer's address embedded, you ship the order directly to their customer, and a Bloomingdale's-branded packing slip must be included. No supplier branding appears on the package. SBSA sets up the full dropship workflow — including 850 PO routing, branded packing slip auto-generation, ASN transmission, and consumer-volume order automation. Contact SBSA to begin the dropship onboarding process.
