Retailer EDI requirements
REI EDI requirements
ANSI X12 4010 · VAN/AS2/SFTP · Portal: REI Vendor Portal · Typical onboarding: 1–2 weeks
REI-specific compliance context
- REI Vendor Portal is the vendor portal for certification and day-to-day compliance visibility.
- Typical onboarding window: 1–2 weeks before production cutover (partner-controlled).
- High chargeback exposure when ASN, invoice, or label rules drift.
Core EDI documents
Compliance requirements
- GS1-128 labels required on all cartons and pallets
- Specific OMMs (Order Management Manuals) must be followed
- Shipping label requirements and carton/pallet guidelines strictly enforced
- High risk for EDI errors: late/missing ASNs trigger chargebacks
- Quick onboarding (1–2 weeks) via SPS Commerce or approved providers
Supplier programs & chargeback risk
Programs: Brand Suppliers, Direct Import, Drop-Ship
Chargeback exposure: High — late/missing ASNs, incorrect labels, and late routing instructions all trigger fines
Penalty amounts, fees, endpoints, and onboarding windows reflect each retailer's published routing guides and public sources and change frequently. Confirm current figures in the retailer's own vendor portal before relying on them.
