Select your vendor type to see requirements
PacSun sends store-specific POs with style, color, size, and UPC-level detail. Verify ship window and delivery dates before acknowledging.
Confirm ability to fulfill within the required window. Discrepancies on quantity or pricing must be flagged at the line-item level.
Garments must be pre-ticketed per PacSun's vendor manual. Hangers, poly bags, and carton ratios must match PO specs.
ASN must be transmitted before the carrier picks up. GS1-128 carton labels must match ASN contents exactly.
One invoice per PO. Accurate pricing at the style-color-size level. Invoice must match the shipped quantity precisely.
POs destined for PacSun's distribution center consolidate inventory before store allocation. Ship-to will be a PacSun DC address.
If PacSun controls freight, you will receive an EDI 754 Routing Instructions after submitting an EDI 753 Routing Request. Do not ship until routing is confirmed.
All cartons shipped to the DC must carry compliant GS1-128 labels referencing PO, department, and style information matching the ASN.
One ASN per shipment. For multi-trailer loads, one ASN per trailer. Missing or late ASNs trigger chargebacks.
Invoice must be submitted within the contractual invoice window. Late invoices may result in payment delays or disputes.
Drop ship POs contain the end customer's shipping address and contact details. Orders typically require same-day or next-day acknowledgment.
Tight SLA windows apply to drop ship orders. Delays in acknowledgment directly impact consumer-facing delivery promises.
No vendor branding on the shipment. PacSun's branded packing slip must be generated from the ASN data and included in the package.
ASN must include the carrier tracking number so PacSun can update the consumer-facing order status in real time.
One invoice per drop ship order. Include tracking reference for reconciliation. SBSA auto-generates and transmits within minutes of ASN creation.

PacSun supports AS2, SFTP, and VAN for EDI transmission. SBSA Technology handles complete setup, testing, and ongoing compliance monitoring for all three protocols — you focus on the product, we handle the pipeline.
Direct Protocol
Encrypted, real-time EDI transmission via AS2. Best for active vendors with regular PO volumes who need direct, low-latency connectivity with full delivery receipts and automatic acknowledgment.
Secure File Transfer
SFTP-based document exchange — a practical choice for vendors with existing SFTP infrastructure or those in the early stages of EDI adoption. Full document routing and monitoring included.
Managed Network
Value-Added Network transmission for vendors who prefer a fully intermediary-managed connection. SBSA acts as your complete EDI department — routing, translating, and monitoring all PacSun documents.
SBSA Technology supports core and supplemental PacSun EDI Integration EDI documents. Critical transactions are highlighted because they carry the highest compliance risk when transmitted incorrectly or late.
PacSun's PO initiates the fulfillment cycle. Contains style, color, size, UPC, quantity, ship window, destination (store, DC, or consumer), and pricing at the line-item level.
InboundConfirms ability to fulfill at the line-item level. Used to report quantity changes, pricing discrepancies, or substitutions. Must reflect accurate ship dates per style and size run.
Outbound Required within compliance windowMust be transmitted before shipment departs your facility. Contains carton-level detail matched to GS1-128 labels. Drop ship ASNs must include carrier tracking number.
Outbound Send before pickup — chargeback risk if lateOne invoice per PO. Must match shipped quantities at the style-color-size level. Invoice within the contractual window to avoid payment delays.
Outbound Invoice qty must match ASN exactlyConfirms syntactic validity of every transmitted document. SBSA monitors all 997 responses and surfaces rejections before they escalate into compliance issues.
OutboundPacSun's payment remittance advice — auto-reconciles against open invoices when transmitted. Reduces manual cash application and speeds up accounts receivable reconciliation.
InboundBuyer-initiated PO modifications — quantity, pricing, or delivery changes flagged at the line-item level and automatically reflected in your ERP system.
InboundSubmitted by the vendor when PacSun controls freight routing for DC shipments. Triggers PacSun's logistics team to assign a carrier and issue a 754 response. Do not ship until 754 is received.
OutboundPacSun's response to the 753 — confirms the assigned carrier, pickup window, and ship-to address. Routing instructions must be followed precisely or chargebacks may apply.

Common questions from apparel and lifestyle vendors beginning their PacSun EDI compliance journey.
PacSun requires the EDI 850 (Purchase Order, inbound from PacSun), EDI 855 (PO Acknowledgment, outbound from vendor), EDI 856 (Advance Ship Notice/ASN, outbound), and EDI 810 (Invoice, outbound). For DC-bound shipments where PacSun controls freight, the EDI 753 Routing Request and EDI 754 Routing Instructions are also required. The EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgment and EDI 820 Payment Remittance are also supported. SBSA handles all of these with full mapping and ERP integration.
Yes. PacSun enforces OTIF (On-Time In-Full) compliance and issues chargebacks for violations including: missing or late ASNs, incorrect or missing GS1-128 carton labels, shipments arriving without a matching ASN on file, packing and ticketing non-compliance, and invoices that don't match shipped quantities. Chargeback thresholds are measured quarterly and directly affect vendor scorecards. SBSA's automation is specifically built to prevent these scenarios.
PacSun requires GS1-128 (formerly UCC-128) carton labels on every carton shipped to a PacSun store or DC. Labels must include the PO number, department, vendor number, and UPC/style-color-size data that exactly matches the contents of the carton as declared in the EDI 856 ASN. SBSA auto-generates all GS1-128 labels from your ERP or WMS data and validates label contents against the ASN before shipment departs.
PacSun requires the 856 ASN to be transmitted before — not after — the carrier picks up your shipment. An ASN that arrives at PacSun's system after the physical goods have arrived at the DC or store is a compliance violation and can trigger chargeback fees. SBSA transmits the ASN automatically the moment your shipment is confirmed for pickup, ensuring the ASN always precedes the goods.
Yes. PacSun operates a drop ship program for direct-to-consumer fulfillment through pacsun.com. Drop ship POs contain the end customer's shipping address embedded in the EDI 850. Vendors must ship using a PacSun-branded packing slip (no vendor branding), include the carrier tracking number in the 856 ASN, and acknowledge POs same-day due to tight consumer-facing delivery SLAs. SBSA handles the full drop ship workflow including branded packing slip generation and real-time tracking integration.
SBSA integrates PacSun EDI with all major ERP and accounting platforms, including QuickBooks Online (Intuit Silver Partner), QuickBooks Enterprise (Intuit Silver Partner), NetSuite, SAP (S/4HANA and Business One), Microsoft Dynamics 365, Sage (100, 300, Intacct), Acumatica, and custom or proprietary OMS/WMS systems via API or flat-file. Our Intuit Silver Partner status means QuickBooks integrations are certified, tested, and maintained — POs map to sales orders, fulfilled orders auto-trigger the ASN, and invoices are generated and transmitted without manual entry.
Most PacSun EDI implementations with SBSA complete in 2 to 4 weeks, depending on ERP complexity and PacSun's testing queue. The process covers: completing SBSA's vendor questionnaire, connection setup (AS2, SFTP, or VAN), EDI document mapping, ERP integration and testing, PacSun test environment validation, and go-live with 24/7 monitoring. SBSA manages every step — vendors do not need to interact directly with PacSun's technical team.
