High-Volume Distribution
Premstar manages large-scale product flows across its distribution network. Purchase orders arrive in volume, and Premstar's EDI team expects rapid, accurate acknowledgment and fulfillment from every supplier in its network.
Premstar demands precision from its supply chain. SBSA Technology handles full EDI compliance for Premstar suppliers — from purchase order receipt to acknowledgment, advance ship notice, and invoicing — fully automated and ERP-connected.

SBSA receives and parses the Premstar 850 PO, translating it into your ERP's native order format automatically.
Premstar requires a PO Acknowledgment within 1 business day of PO creation. Missing this window triggers compliance issues.
The 855 must confirm each line item quantity and expected ship date. Partial availability must be noted per line — not at order level.
If ship dates or quantities change after initial acknowledgment, send a revised 855. SBSA monitors your ERP for changes and re-transmits automatically.
SBSA tracks acknowledgment timing and flags any POs at risk of missing Premstar's compliance window before it happens.
The ASN must be sent before the physical goods arrive at Premstar. Late or missing ASNs are subject to chargebacks.
Premstar requires a tracking number (parcel) or Bill of Lading (freight) in the 856. SBSA captures this from your shipping system automatically.
All cartons must carry compliant GS1-128 labels. Label data must match the ASN exactly — discrepancies trigger receiving exceptions.
Do not consolidate multiple POs into a single ASN if they ship to different Premstar locations. One ASN per shipment, one destination.
SBSA uses confirmed ASN data to generate the EDI 810 invoice immediately after shipment, eliminating manual invoicing delays.
Premstar requires one invoice per purchase order. Do not consolidate multiple POs onto a single invoice — SBSA enforces this automatically.
Price discrepancies at the line item level will cause invoice holds. SBSA validates invoice data against the original 850 before transmission.
Premstar's 810 spec requires PO number, ship date, item numbers, quantities, unit prices, and payment terms. SBSA maps all fields from your ERP.
Credits and allowances are submitted via EDI 810 with the appropriate credit/debit flag — no paper required for standard credits.
When Premstar sends an EDI 820 payment remittance, SBSA maps it to your accounts receivable automatically, closing the loop.
Premstar operates a high-volume, precision-driven supply chain where EDI compliance is non-negotiable. Suppliers are held to strict acknowledgment windows, ASN timing, and invoicing accuracy — and chargebacks are enforced. SBSA Technology removes that operational burden entirely.
Premstar manages large-scale product flows across its distribution network. Purchase orders arrive in volume, and Premstar's EDI team expects rapid, accurate acknowledgment and fulfillment from every supplier in its network.
Premstar enforces supplier compliance through its scorecard system. Late acknowledgments, missing ASNs, and invoice discrepancies all register as performance failures. SBSA's automated workflows ensure you never miss a window.
SBSA Technology handles the entire Premstar EDI relationship — setup, testing, certification, and ongoing operations. Your team receives and ships orders through your existing ERP or accounting system. We handle everything in between.
Premstar supports three EDI transmission protocols. SBSA Technology supports all three and will recommend the best option for your volume, IT infrastructure, and cost profile.
Applicability Statement 2
Direct, encrypted HTTPS transmission between your system and Premstar's EDI server. AS2 is the industry standard for high-volume EDI and the protocol Premstar recommends for most suppliers.
Secure File Transfer Protocol
Scheduled or on-demand file transfer via a secure FTP server. SFTP is a reliable option for suppliers with lower daily transaction volumes or who prefer file-based integration over real-time exchange.
Value-Added Network
EDI documents route through a third-party VAN mailbox. Some legacy supplier setups already use a VAN with another trading partner — SBSA can connect Premstar to your existing VAN to minimize new infrastructure.
SBSA Technology supports core and supplemental Premstar EDI Integration EDI documents. Critical transactions are highlighted because they carry the highest compliance risk when transmitted incorrectly or late.
Premstar sends a PO for each order. SBSA parses and routes it directly into your ERP as a native sales order — no manual data entry required.
InboundConfirms acceptance of the PO at the line level. Must be transmitted within 1 business day. SBSA monitors your ERP and auto-generates the 855 when the order is confirmed.
Outbound 1 business day deadlineNotifies Premstar of shipment contents, carrier, and tracking data before goods arrive. Missing or late ASNs trigger chargebacks. SBSA transmits the 856 automatically at time of shipment.
Outbound Must precede physical deliveryOne invoice per PO, transmitted after shipment confirmation. SBSA validates invoice data against the original 850 before transmission to prevent price discrepancy holds.
OutboundConfirms receipt of each EDI file at the envelope level. SBSA handles 997 generation and monitoring automatically — any rejected interchanges are flagged and resolved immediately.
OutboundPremstar may send remittance advice with payment details. SBSA maps the 820 to your accounts receivable automatically, matching payments to open invoices without manual reconciliation.
InboundPremstar may request current inventory availability for forecast and replenishment planning. SBSA can pull live stock levels from your ERP and transmit the 846 on a scheduled basis.
OutboundTransmit your product catalog and pricing to Premstar in EDI format. SBSA generates the 832 from your ERP's item master, keeping Premstar's catalog synchronized with your current pricing.
OutboundSBSA Technology integrates Premstar EDI directly with your ERP, accounting, or order management platform. Orders arrive as native transactions — no rekeying, no manual exports, no CSV uploads.

Common questions from suppliers beginning their Premstar EDI compliance journey with SBSA Technology.
Premstar requires four core EDI transactions: EDI 850 (Purchase Order) received from Premstar, EDI 855 (Purchase Order Acknowledgment) sent to Premstar within 1 business day, EDI 856 (Advance Ship Notice) sent before your shipment arrives at Premstar, and EDI 810 (Invoice) sent after shipment. SBSA Technology manages all four transactions — plus optional 820 remittance, 846 inventory, and 832 catalog transactions — end-to-end.
Premstar requires the Purchase Order Acknowledgment (EDI 855) within 1 business day of the PO creation date. Missing this window registers as a compliance failure on your supplier scorecard and can result in chargeback penalties. SBSA sets compliance timers on every inbound 850 and alerts your team before the deadline, ensuring the 855 is never missed regardless of business hours or holidays.
Premstar enforces strict ASN compliance. A shipment received without a prior EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice, or with an ASN that arrives after the physical goods, may be refused at the dock or subjected to a chargeback. This is one of the most costly supplier compliance failures. SBSA transmits the 856 ASN automatically at the moment your shipping system generates a tracking number or Bill of Lading — before the carrier departs your facility.
