Supported EDI Protocols Murdoch's

Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply supports three EDI transmission protocols. SBSA Technology handles all setup, configuration, certificate management, and ongoing monitoring — you don't need internal EDI expertise.

SFTP

Secure File Transfer Protocol

Batch-based file transfer over SSH. A straightforward option for suppliers who prefer scheduled transmission windows. SBSA manages the SFTP server configuration, key exchange, and directory monitoring on both ends.

  • Transfer: SSH key authentication
  • Scheduling: Configurable batch windows
  • Monitoring: SBSA watches for missed transmissions
  • Fallback: Retry logic for failed transfers

VAN

Value-Added Network

Third-party network intermediary that routes EDI documents between trading partners. Suitable for suppliers already on a VAN or in ecosystems where direct connectivity is not preferred.

  • Transition: Can migrate from VAN to AS2 over time

Murdoch's EDI FAQ

Common questions from suppliers beginning their Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply EDI compliance journey.

Murdoch's requires four core EDI transactions: the 850 Purchase Order (inbound from Murdoch's), the 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment (outbound, required within 1 business day of PO receipt), the 856 Advance Ship Notice (outbound, must be transmitted before the shipment arrives at Murdoch's), and the 810 Invoice (outbound, one per PO). Additional transactions including 997 Functional Acknowledgment, 820 Payment Remittance, 860 PO Change Request, and 852 Product Activity Data round out the full compliance profile.

Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply supports AS2, SFTP, and VAN (Value-Added Network) for EDI document transmission. AS2 is the most commonly used protocol due to its real-time transmission and built-in encryption and receipt confirmation. SFTP is a suitable alternative for suppliers who prefer scheduled batch transfers. SBSA Technology handles all setup, certificate management, and ongoing monitoring for every protocol, so no internal EDI expertise is required on your end.

Yes — and this is one of SBSA Technology's core strengths. As an Intuit Silver Partner, SBSA provides certified integration with both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise. Murdoch's purchase orders are automatically created as sales orders in your QuickBooks account. When you ship, the 856 ASN and 810 invoice are generated directly from your QuickBooks shipping and order data and transmitted to Murdoch's without any manual data entry. The 820 Payment Remittance from Murdoch's is also auto-reconciled against your open invoices in QuickBooks.

Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply enforces ASN compliance through chargebacks. Any shipment received at a Murdoch's distribution center or store without a valid 856 ASN on file — or where the ASN arrives after the physical goods — is subject to a compliance chargeback that reduces your payment. In the most serious cases, shipments may be refused and returned at your cost. SBSA Technology transmits the ASN automatically the moment a shipment leaves your facility, ensuring Murdoch's receives the electronic record before the goods arrive every single time.

Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply carries a broad assortment serving the Mountain West farm, ranch, and outdoor market. Supplier categories include farm and ranch equipment, livestock and pet products, western apparel and workwear, hardware and tools, seed and feed, outdoor and sporting goods, and home and garden products. SBSA Technology serves all supplier categories with pre-built EDI document mappings and ERP integrations tailored to Murdoch's trading partner requirements.

Most Murdoch's EDI implementations are completed in 2–4 weeks from submission of the SBSA questionnaire. The timeline covers connection setup (AS2, SFTP, or VAN), document mapping for all required transactions, ERP or QuickBooks integration, and end-to-end testing in the Murdoch's test environment. Timeline varies based on ERP complexity and responsiveness from your team. SBSA can begin setup in parallel with your Murdoch's buyer onboarding, so you are ready to process your first live PO the moment Murdoch's sends it.

Murdoch's expects orders to be shipped complete where possible. If you cannot fulfil all items on a PO, you must reflect this in your 855 PO Acknowledgment — providing a revised ship date or noting the availability issue at the line level. Backordered items should not be cancelled in the 855; instead, use a revised date. On the ASN, never include a line with a zero quantity for an unfulfillable item — the line must be removed entirely, as a zero-quantity line is treated as a noncompliant data field. SBSA Technology handles all of this automatically based on the data in your ERP or QuickBooks.

Yes. SBSA Technology auto-generates GS1-128 (UCC-128) carton labels from the ASN data at the time of shipment. Labels are validated against ASN contents before being sent to your warehouse for printing, ensuring every carton that leaves your facility is correctly labeled and matches the electronic ASN transmitted to Murdoch's. This label-to-ASN matching is a key element in preventing DC receiving discrepancies and associated chargebacks.
