Webasto EDI — Setup Overview

How SBSA onboards Webasto suppliers

1
Complete SBSA questionnaire

Confirm your fulfillment type: OEM direct, Tier 1 sub-supply, or aftermarket. Identify your ERP and current shipping systems.

2
Connection setup — AS2, SFTP, or VAN

SBSA configures your preferred protocol to Webasto's specifications and registers your EDI ID.

3
Document mapping

830, 862, 850, 855, 856, 810 — all mapped to your ERP data model. AIAG label templates generated.

4
Webasto test environment sign-off

Full test cycles with Webasto's trading partner team. No go-live until every document passes.

5
Go-live with 24/7 monitoring

SBSA monitors every document, flags exceptions, and manages compliance on your behalf.

1
830 Planning Schedule received

Rolling production forecast from Webasto — mapped to your ERP planning module for capacity and procurement decisions.

2
862 Shipping Schedule received

Firm, sequenced ship-by dates and quantities. Triggers your pick/pack/ship workflow automatically.

3
850 Purchase Order received

Standard PO for non-sequenced orders. Acknowledged with 855 before production commitment.

4
856 ASN transmitted on shipment

Sent the moment goods leave your facility — AIAG barcode label data included. Never after physical arrival.

5
810 Invoice auto-generated

One invoice per shipment, automatically created from ASN and PO data — no manual keying.

1
ASN must precede physical arrival

Webasto will not accept shipments that arrive without a corresponding ASN in their system. Send before the truck departs.

2
AIAG label data must match ASN exactly

Every carton label is validated against ASN line items. Mismatches trigger chargebacks and receiving failures.

3
One ASN per shipment

Each physical shipment requires its own ASN. Never consolidate multiple 862 ship windows into a single ASN document.

4
Supplier code and part number mandatory

Webasto's supplier code and their internal part number must appear on every ASN line — not your internal item codes.

5
SBSA automates all of the above

Every rule is enforced programmatically — zero manual intervention required after go-live.

Three Ways to Connect with Webasto

Webasto supports AS2, SFTP, and VAN for EDI transmission. SBSA Technology manages complete setup, testing, and ongoing compliance monitoring for all three protocols — you choose the path that fits your infrastructure.

SFTP

Secure File Transfer

Secure FTP-based EDI exchange — a practical entry point for suppliers with existing SFTP infrastructure or those transitioning from manual document handling to full EDI automation.

  • Protocol: SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)
  • Standard: ANSI X12 flat files per Webasto specs
  • Best for: Mid-volume Tier 2 and aftermarket suppliers
  • SBSA manages: SFTP setup, file routing & monitoring

EDI VAN

Managed Network

Value-Added Network transmission for suppliers who prefer a fully managed intermediary connection. SBSA acts as your complete EDI department — routing, translating, and monitoring all Webasto documents through the VAN.

  • Protocol: EDI VAN — SBSA provides your EDI ID
  • Best for: Smaller or less-technical suppliers
  • Monitoring: 24/7 document tracking and alerts
  • SBSA manages: Full VAN setup, routing & compliance

Webasto EDI Integration EDI Transaction Set

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

850

Purchase Order

Standard PO for non-sequenced procurement. Used for Tier 2 sub-supply and aftermarket programs. PO specifies items, quantities, delivery locations, and pricing terms.

Inbound
855

PO Acknowledgment

Confirms your ability to fulfill the 850 PO — quantity, pricing, and ship date at the line-item level. Must be returned to Webasto within your agreed acknowledgment window.

Outbound Return within agreed acknowledgment window
856

Advance Ship Notice

Transmitted the moment shipment leaves your facility. Must include AIAG barcode label data matching every carton and container. ASN data must match physical shipment exactly — mismatches cause receiving failures.

Outbound Must transmit before physical arrival — AIAG label match required
810

Invoice

One invoice per shipment — auto-generated from ASN and PO data. Must match ASN quantities exactly. Webasto's accounts payable matches the 810 against 856 ASN and 850 PO before approving payment.

Outbound One invoice per shipment — must match ASN quantities
997

Functional Acknowledgment

Confirms syntactic validity of every transmitted EDI document. SBSA monitors all 997 responses and surfaces any rejection before it escalates into a compliance issue.

Outbound
820

Payment Remittance

Webasto's payment order and remittance detail — auto-reconciled against your open 810 invoices when Webasto opts to transmit this document.

Inbound
860

PO Change Request

Buyer-initiated modifications to an outstanding 850 PO — quantity, pricing, or delivery date changes. Applied at line-item level and reflected in your ERP automatically.

Inbound
830

Planning Schedule

Webasto's rolling production forecast — provides suppliers with advance capacity and procurement signals. Loaded directly to your ERP planning module. Not a binding PO, but scorecarded for response accuracy.

Inbound Core JIT signal — maps directly to production orders
862

Shipping Schedule

Webasto's firm, just-in-time ship window document — specifies exact quantities and delivery dates per production sequence. Missing a 862 window can halt Webasto's assembly line. SBSA triggers your pick/pack workflow automatically on receipt.

Inbound JIT window — missing ship dates disrupts production

Webasto EDI FAQ

Common questions from automotive suppliers beginning their Webasto EDI compliance journey.

Webasto requires suppliers to support the EDI 850 Purchase Order, 855 PO Acknowledgment, 856 Advance Ship Notice (ASN), and 810 Invoice as core transactions. Additionally, Webasto issues 830 Planning Schedules and 862 Shipping Schedules — both critical for JIT production programs. SBSA Technology manages the complete Webasto transaction set, including all optional documents.

The EDI 862 is Webasto's firm, just-in-time shipping schedule — it tells you exactly what to ship, how many, and precisely when, often down to a specific daily or weekly production window. It is more operationally binding than a standard 850 Purchase Order. Missing a 862 ship window can disrupt Webasto's assembly line, which is one of the most serious compliance failures in automotive supply. SBSA automatically loads 862 data into your ERP and triggers your fulfillment workflow the moment each schedule arrives.

Yes. Webasto requires AIAG-compliant barcode labels on all shipped cartons and containers — this is a standard automotive requirement across Tier 1 OEM suppliers. The label data must match your 856 ASN exactly: part number, quantity, supplier code, and shipment reference. SBSA automatically generates validated AIAG labels from ASN data before your shipment departs, preventing label/ASN mismatch chargebacks at Webasto receiving.

Webasto, like most automotive OEMs, will not accept shipments that arrive without a corresponding ASN already in their system. A shipment arriving without a pre-received ASN can be refused at the receiving dock — sending the goods back to you at your cost and disrupting the production schedule you were supposed to fulfill. SBSA transmits the 856 ASN the moment your shipment departs your facility, well before it reaches any Webasto location.

Yes — SBSA Technology is an Intuit Silver Partner and integrates Webasto EDI with both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise. Webasto 850 POs flow into QBO/QBE as sales orders, 856 ASNs are generated from shipments, and 810 invoices are created and transmitted automatically. QuickBooks users are among the most common Webasto suppliers SBSA onboards — the integration is proven and fully supported.

Yes. SBSA configures separate EDI connections and compliance monitoring for each Webasto plant or regional entity you supply — North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific programs can all be managed simultaneously. Each plant may have its own trading partner setup and compliance rules, but SBSA handles all of them from a single integration platform with shared ERP mapping to minimize duplication and maintenance overhead.
