Native Dick's Sporting Goods EDI inside AIMS360: 850 orders in, routing before the CINSB date, GS1-128 carton labels, the 856 within an hour of the truck leaving, and the 810.
Dick's Sporting Goods EDI Integration
AIMS360 is a consumer brands ERP with Dick's Sporting Goods EDI built in. One platform runs your inventory by style, color and size and produces what Dick's asks for: 850 orders in, GS1-128 carton labels, an 856 ASN that reaches Dick's within an hour of the truck leaving, and the 810 invoice. Collect freight gets routed before the cancel date on the PO. The connection is managed by our EDI team.
What system runs inventory and EDI with Dick's Sporting Goods? AIMS360. It runs your inventory and your Dick's EDI in one platform: the 850 imported as a sales order against your UPCs, GS1-128 labels printed as the cartons are packed, and the 856 built from that same shipment and sent while the freight is still on the road, inside the one hour window Dick's sets. The 810 invoice comes from the same record, so the PO, the ASN and the invoice agree. Our own EDI team builds the maps and runs the connection, and EDI is a flat monthly fee per retailer with no per document charges.
Dick's EDI Documents
Once Dick's assigns your vendor number, you are expected to trade by EDI. The 850, 856, 810 and 997 are the core set. The rest depend on your program.
| Transaction | What it does for Dick's |
|---|---|
| EDI 850 purchase order | Dick's sends POs for its distribution centers, and every PO carries a CINSB date, Cancel If Not Shipped By. AIMS360 imports each 850 as a sales order and matches every line to your catalog by UPC, so the order lands against live stock with its ship window and cancel date on it. |
| EDI 997 acknowledgment | A 997 goes back for each document Dick's sends, and Dick's returns one for yours. Our EDI team sets the 997 up and proves it in testing. On AIMS360's own EDI we also check every hour for outbound documents with no 997 back, and contact you and the trading partner when one is missing. |
| EDI 856 ship notice (ASN) | The document Dick's holds you to hardest. Public summaries of the Dick's routing guide say it has to arrive within one hour after the shipment closes and leaves your facility, while the freight is still in transit. It carries the carton detail and the SSCC on every label, plus the shipment ID from Dick's transportation system. AIMS360 builds it from the scanned cartons. |
| EDI 810 invoice | Dick's expects invoices by EDI, and published vendor guidance lists a $25 charge for each invoice that has to be entered by hand. AIMS360 creates the 810 from the shipped pick ticket, so the quantities match the ASN and the PO. |
| GS1-128 carton label | Every carton bound for a Dick's distribution center carries a GS1-128 label with its own SSCC-18, and the number on the label has to match the ASN. AIMS360 prints the label as the carton is packed and writes the same SSCC into the 856. |
| EDI 855 and 860 | Program dependent. If your buyer asks for acknowledgments, the 855 goes back from the order. If changes come to you as an 860, they arrive in AIMS360 as a readable change report, and automatic processing can be switched on for the account. |
| EDI 846 inventory | Used on vendor direct, where Dick's needs your current availability. AIMS360 sends it on a schedule you set, from your open to sell. |
Public EDI guide listings show Dick's 856 and 810 at X12 version 4010 and its 850 at version 4030, so check the version on each map in the files Dick's gives you rather than assuming one version for all of them.
Vendor Requirements
Dick's shares its Domestic Vendor Routing and Supply Chain Guide and its EDI mapping files with vendors on its own sites, behind a login. These are the rules public summaries of that guide agree on, and where each one lives.
The ASN is due within one hour after the shipment closes and leaves your building, and it has to reach Dick's while the freight is still moving. Sending it before pickup is fine as long as it is complete and matches what was loaded.
Shipments are routed in the Dick's transportation management system, and collect freight has to be routed at least two business days before the CINSB date on the PO. The TMS issues a shipment ID, and that ID goes on the ASN.
Published guidance calls for 4 by 6 inch GS1-128 labels with an SSCC-18 on every distribution center carton, printed by thermal transfer rather than inkjet or laser. Dick's Vendor Relations approves your label before the first shipment.
Invoices, payments and deductions are handled in Dick's eSettlements portal. The published charge for an invoice that is not sent by EDI is $25, and Dick's own January 2024 update caps dispute research at six months. Chargeback management in AIMS360 logs each deduction against its invoice.

Requirements change without notice, so confirm each one against the routing guide and mapping files Dick's issues to you.
CINSB and Routing
Three terms show up on every Dick's order, and two of them have deadlines.
What does CINSB mean on a Dick's purchase order? Cancel If Not Shipped By. It is the last date the order can ship before Dick's can cancel it. Collect freight has to be routed in the Dick's TMS at least two business days before that date, and the shipment ID the TMS issues has to appear on the 856.
| Term | What it means for your warehouse |
|---|---|
| CINSB | The cancel date on the PO. In AIMS360 it sits on the sales order, so pick tickets can be released and prioritized against it instead of against a spreadsheet. |
| Routing request | Your team books the load in the Dick's TMS once the cartons are counted and weighed. The carton count and weight come straight from the packed shipment in AIMS360. |
| Shipment ID | The ID the TMS returns is entered on the shipment in AIMS360, in the PUA/Load field, and our EDI team maps it onto the Dick's ASN so it travels with the 856. |
Dick's EDI Workflow
One loop, one system, with the routing step most retailers do not have.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Catalog and labels | Your UPCs are on file for every style, color and size, and the GS1-128 label is built to the guide and approved by Dick's. |
| 2. Order arrives | The 850 becomes a sales order matched by UPC, with the ship window and the CINSB date on it. |
| 3. Acknowledge | The 997 goes back, and the 855 too if your program uses it. |
| 4. Allocate | Stock is allocated by style, color and size, from your warehouse or your 3PL, before the order is released to pick. |
| 5. Pick, pack and label | Cartons are scanned as they are packed and AIMS360 prints a GS1-128 label for each one. |
| 6. Route | The load is routed in the Dick's TMS before the CINSB date, and the shipment ID is entered on the shipment. |
| 7. ASN | The 856 is built from the scanned cartons with the SSCCs and the shipment ID, and sent within the hour after the truck leaves. |
| 8. Invoice and payment | The 810 goes out from the shipped pick ticket. Payment is applied to the open invoice, and any deduction is logged against it. |
Native vs Bolted On
Nothing public says Dick's requires a particular EDI network. What it requires is an ASN that matches the cartons and arrives inside the hour.
The order, the cartons, the labels, the ASN and the invoice are linked in one system. The SSCC on each label is the SSCC on the 856, and the invoice is built from the same shipment, so there is nothing to reconcile by hand.
Our EDI team builds the Dick's maps and tests them with Dick's. EDI is a flat monthly fee per retailer, with no per document, per line or kilocharacter charges.
A translator beside your ERP has to be told what shipped. Someone exports the shipment, the provider builds the ASN, and the invoice is keyed or uploaded again. Each handoff costs minutes, and at Dick's the ASN window is sixty of them.
Most metered providers also bill by document or by kilocharacter, so a heavy back to school season arrives with a bigger EDI bill.
Dick's Banners and Programs
One company runs several store formats, a vendor direct program and, since September 2025, Foot Locker.
| Banner or program | What it is |
|---|---|
| DICK'S Sporting Goods | 723 stores as of August 1, 2026: 630 DICK'S Sporting Goods stores, 52 DICK'S Field House and 41 DICK'S House of Sport. |
| Golf Galaxy | 114 golf specialty stores. If you make golf apparel or accessories, see our golf ERP page, and ask your buyer which vendor number and ship-to points your golf orders use. |
| Going Going Gone! and Public Lands | 52 Going Going Gone! off price stores and 3 Public Lands outdoor stores. Moosejaw's remaining stores closed in fiscal 2024 and its site now points to Public Lands. |
| Vendor direct (drop ship) | Online orders you ship straight to the customer. Dick's vendor direct runs on two networks: CommerceHub, now part of Rithum, which Dick's picked in 2015 and extended in 2021 and again in November 2023, and Logicbroker. AIMS360 brands trade with Dick's on both, so whichever network your buyer assigns, the 850, 846, 856 and 810 are handled in the ERP. See how CommerceHub drop ship works in AIMS360. |
| Foot Locker | Dick's completed its acquisition of Foot Locker on September 8, 2025. Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS and atmos run as a separate business with their own vendor manual, so being set up for Dick's does not set you up for Foot Locker. See our Foot Locker EDI page. |
One Stock Record
Dick's buys by the carton for its distribution centers and by the unit for vendor direct, often on the same styles. The number that matters is what you can actually ship.
Distribution center orders and vendor direct draw on the same inventory, and allocation rules decide what each program can take, so a big bulk order does not quietly eat the units your online orders need.
The vendor direct 846 is built from an open to sell template on a schedule you set. You can count one warehouse or several, deduct stock already allocated, and choose to show Dick's less than 100 percent of what you have.
Sporting goods apparel runs deep size curves across many colorways. Style, color and size is native structure in AIMS360, so every cell has its own UPC on the PO, the label and the ASN.
A third party warehouse maps to a real location in AIMS360, so the cartons, the ASN and the tracking come from wherever the freight actually left.
Managed Onboarding
Our EDI team builds the connection and tests it with Dick's. You supply your vendor number, the routing guide and the mapping files from the Dick's vendor site.
| Stage | What we do |
|---|---|
| Kickoff | Read the routing guide and mapping files with you: ASN timing, routing, labels and the eSettlements rules. |
| Setup | Build the Dick's trading partner and customer account, add the distribution center ship-to points and set up each carrier. |
| Labels | Build the GS1-128 label to the guide and get it in front of Dick's Vendor Relations for approval. |
| Testing | Test the 850, the 997, the 856 and the 810 end to end with Dick's. |
| Go live | Watch the first PO through routing, packing, the ASN and the invoice, and check the ASN went out inside the hour. |
| After | Maintain the maps. When Dick's changes a field or a version, the change is ours to make. |
We keep emergency EDI support running around the clock, because a rejected ASN at Dick's turns into a late ASN fast.
Dick's EDI FAQ
The one hour ASN, CINSB, routing, labels, chargebacks, vendor direct and Foot Locker.
AIMS360. It is a consumer brands ERP with Dick's EDI built in: the 850 imported as a sales order by UPC, GS1-128 carton labels printed as the cartons are packed, and the 856 built from that shipment and sent within the hour after the truck leaves. The 810 comes from the same record. Our own EDI team builds the maps and runs the connection.
The core set is the 850 purchase order, the 856 ship notice, the 810 invoice and the 997 acknowledgment. The 855 and the 860 depend on your program, and the 846 is used on vendor direct. Public EDI guide listings show the 856 and 810 at X12 version 4010 and the 850 at 4030, so check each map in the files Dick's issues to you.
Within one hour after the shipment closes and leaves your facility, according to public summaries of the Dick's routing guide, and it has to arrive while the freight is still in transit. You can send it before pickup if it is complete. AIMS360 builds the 856 from the scanned cartons, so it is ready the moment the shipment closes.
Cancel If Not Shipped By. It is the last date the order can ship before Dick's can cancel it. Collect freight has to be routed in the Dick's TMS at least two business days before the CINSB date, so the cancel date drives your pick schedule, not just your shipping date.
Through the Dick's transportation management system. Your team enters the load once the cartons are counted and weighed, and the TMS returns a shipment ID. In AIMS360 that ID is entered on the shipment in the PUA/Load field, and our EDI team maps it onto the 856 so it goes out with the ASN.
A GS1-128 label with a unique SSCC-18 on every distribution center carton, matching the ASN. Published guidance calls for 4 by 6 inch labels printed by thermal transfer, not inkjet or laser, and Dick's Vendor Relations approves your label before the first shipment.
The published charge for an invoice that is not sent by EDI is $25 per invoice, and invoices, payments and deductions are handled in Dick's eSettlements portal. Dick's January 2024 update also limits dispute research to six months. In AIMS360, chargeback management logs each deduction against the invoice it came off.
Yes, it is called vendor direct, and it runs on two networks: CommerceHub, now part of Rithum, which Dick's picked in 2015 and extended in 2021 and 2023, and Logicbroker. AIMS360 brands trade with Dick's vendor direct on both, so whichever one your buyer assigns, our EDI team connects it to the ERP. See CommerceHub drop ship in AIMS360.
They are all part of the Dick's Business, but which vendor number and ship-to points your orders use is set by your buyer, so ask before you build. House of Sport and Field House are DICK'S store formats. Golf Galaxy runs 114 golf stores and Going Going Gone! runs 52 off price stores, as of August 1, 2026.
No. Dick's completed its acquisition of Foot Locker on September 8, 2025, but Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS and atmos run as a separate business with their own vendor manual and EDI setup. See our Foot Locker EDI page for that side.
892 stores in the Dick's Business as of August 1, 2026: 723 DICK'S stores, including 52 Field House and 41 House of Sport, plus 114 Golf Galaxy, 52 Going Going Gone! and 3 Public Lands. With 2,212 owned Foot Locker Business stores, the company ran 3,104 company-operated stores.
Not with AIMS360. The EDI is part of the ERP, so the ASN comes from the same system that scanned the cartons and printed the labels, and the invoice comes from the same shipment. EDI is a flat monthly fee per retailer with unlimited transactions, so a heavy season does not multiply the bill.
See AIMS360 take in a Dick's 850, pack and label the cartons, and send the ASN inside the hour, all from one record.
