6,000+ Stores. One EDI Standard for Every Supplier.

O'Reilly Auto Parts is one of the largest specialty automotive retailers in the United States, serving both professional installers (DIFM) and do-it-yourself customers (DIY). As a supplier, you're entering a demand-driven supply chain where EDI accuracy, fill rates, and ASN compliance directly affect your scorecard and store placement.

Dual-Market Automotive Retailer

O'Reilly serves both professional repair shops (DIFM) and retail customers (DIY) through the same store network. This dual model means order velocity is high and inventory expectations are strict — EDI errors surface fast and chargebacks follow quickly.

Three Ways to Connect — All Managed by SBSA O'Reilly

O'Reilly Auto Parts supports AS2, SFTP, and VAN connectivity for EDI transmission. SBSA handles setup, certificate management, and ongoing monitoring for whichever method your O'Reilly trading partner agreement specifies.

SFTP

Secure File Transfer Protocol

SFTP provides encrypted file-based EDI exchange via scheduled polling. SBSA configures both O'Reilly-side and supplier-side SFTP credentials, monitors inbound directories, and processes files as they arrive.

  • SSH key pair: authentication configured
  • Inbound monitoring: with alert on missed files
  • Configurable polling intervals: — as low as 5 min
  • File archiving: for audit and reconciliation
  • Fallback alerts: if O'Reilly directory is unresponsive

VAN

Value-Added Network

Some O'Reilly supplier agreements specify VAN-based EDI through providers such as TrueCommerce, SPS Commerce, or DiCentral. SBSA can connect to any VAN mailbox and route transactions to your ERP without additional middleware.

  • Any VAN provider: supported (TrueCommerce, SPS, etc.)
  • Mailbox monitoring: and auto-routing
  • Translation and mapping: between VAN and ERP
  • Interchange ID setup: and ISA/GS configuration
  • Migration support: if moving off existing VAN

Connect O'Reilly EDI to Your Business Systems

SBSA integrates O'Reilly EDI directly with your ERP or accounting platform — eliminating manual data entry, reducing errors, and ensuring every O'Reilly purchase order flows automatically from PO receipt to invoice transmission.

QuickBooks Online – Intuit Silver Partner

SBSA is an Intuit Silver Partner with deep QuickBooks Online integration. O'Reilly POs flow directly into QBO as purchase orders or sales orders, and EDI invoices are generated automatically from QuickBooks shipment records — no re-keying required.

QuickBooks Enterprise - Intuit Silver Partner

SBSA's QuickBooks Enterprise integration supports advanced inventory, multi-location warehouse management, and high-volume O'Reilly order processing. Ideal for mid-market suppliers with complex fulfillment operations across multiple warehouses.

NetSuite

Bidirectional integration: 850 POs create sales orders in NetSuite automatically; ship confirmations and invoices flow back to O'Reilly as EDI 856 and 810.

SAP (ECC / S/4HANA)

Full SAP integration via IDocs or direct API. Maps O'Reilly's EDI segments to SAP order management, warehouse management, and FI invoice processing.

Microsoft Dynamics 365

Native D365 integration for purchase order receipt, warehouse pick and ship confirmation, and automated invoice creation from confirmed shipments.

Integration with Oracle Fusion Order Management and Inventory. SBSA maps O'Reilly 850s to Oracle sales orders and returns 856/810 from Oracle confirmations.

Shopify / WMS Platforms

For brands using Shopify as their OMS or third-party WMS platforms (ShipBob, 3PL Central, Logiwa, etc.), SBSA provides API-based integrations that route O'Reilly orders into your fulfillment workflow.

Custom & Legacy Systems

If your ERP or WMS isn't listed, SBSA builds a custom integration. We've connected EDI to hundreds of systems — flat-file imports, AS/400 mainframes, proprietary ERPs, and everything in between.

No Manual Steps. No Missed Deadlines.

O'Reilly's compliance requirements are time-sensitive — a late 855, a missing ASN, or an incorrect invoice can trigger chargebacks that erode your margin. SBSA's automation eliminates every manual touchpoint in the EDI cycle.

O'Reilly Auto Parts EDI FAQ

Common questions from automotive suppliers beginning their O'Reilly EDI compliance journey.

O'Reilly Auto Parts requires four core EDI transaction sets: the 850 Purchase Order (inbound), the 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment (outbound, within 24 hours), the 856 Advance Ship Notice (outbound, at time of shipment), and the 810 Invoice (outbound, after shipment). Additional sets including the 846 Inventory Inquiry, 852 Product Activity Data, and 820 Payment Remittance may be required depending on your supplier agreement and program type. SBSA handles all of them.

O'Reilly requires the EDI 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment to be returned within 24 hours of PO receipt. Missing this deadline is a compliance violation that can trigger chargebacks and negatively affect your supplier scorecard. SBSA generates and transmits the 855 automatically upon PO receipt — your team does not need to take any action for this to happen.

O'Reilly enforces strict ASN compliance. Any shipment received at an O'Reilly distribution center or store location without a prior EDI 856 ASN — or with an ASN that arrives after the physical goods — can be refused and returned at the supplier's cost. A refused shipment is one of the most expensive supplier compliance failures. SBSA transmits the ASN automatically the moment your carrier picks up the order, eliminating this risk entirely.

O'Reilly's drop ship program routes e-commerce orders from oreillyauto.com through your facility directly to end consumers. The consumer's delivery name, address, and phone number are embedded in the EDI 850 PO in the ship-to segment. You must ship in O'Reilly-branded packaging with an O'Reilly-branded packing slip — the consumer must never see your company's name or branding. The EDI 856 ASN must include the carrier tracking number and be transmitted before or immediately at the time of shipment. SBSA handles all drop ship EDI requirements including branded packing slip generation from ASN data.

Yes — SBSA is an Intuit Silver Partner and provides direct integration between O'Reilly EDI and both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise. Purchase orders flow automatically into QuickBooks as sales orders, shipment confirmations trigger the EDI 856 ASN, and invoices are generated and transmitted via EDI 810 without any manual data entry. Remittance advice and chargeback deductions from O'Reilly are reconciled back into QuickBooks automatically.

O'Reilly generally expects orders to be shipped complete. If you cannot fulfill certain line items, you must reflect this in your 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment — either updating the quantity, providing a revised ship date, or flagging availability issues at the line item level. You should never include a zero-quantity line in your ASN for an unfulfillable item — remove the line entirely instead. SBSA's system handles partial order acknowledgments and ensures your 855 and ASN remain consistent with each other and with O'Reilly's compliance requirements.
