Native Dry Goods EDI inside AIMS360: 850 orders, 856 ASNs with UCC 128 labels and 810 invoices, built against the Dry Goods compliance guide rather than Von Maur's.
Dry Goods EDI Integration
AIMS360 is a consumer brands ERP with native EDI, and Dry Goods runs on it as its own trading relationship. One platform runs your inventory by style, color and size and produces the 850, 856 with UCC 128 carton labels, and 810 that Dry Goods expects. The reason this page is separate from the Von Maur one is that Dry Goods publishes its own compliance guide and its own accounts payable policy. The connection is managed by our EDI team.
Is Dry Goods a separate EDI relationship from Von Maur? Yes. Dry Goods is Von Maur's separate banner and it publishes its own compliance guide and its own accounts payable policy on its own vendor site, with their own effective dates and their own revision schedules. Your shipments are measured against the Dry Goods documents rather than Von Maur's, and the relationship carries its own vendor number. AIMS360 runs it as its own customer account drawing on the same inventory pool as every other channel you sell, so you get two sets of rules without two sets of stock. Our EDI team confirms how your specific account should be structured before building it.
Dry Goods EDI Documents
Built from the same ERP records that run your inventory, warehouse and accounting.
| Transaction | What it does for Dry Goods |
|---|---|
| EDI 850 purchase order | Dry Goods transmits the order and AIMS360 imports it as a sales order, validated against your catalog at the UPC level. |
| EDI 856 ship notice (ASN) | Carton-level notice with UCC 128 label data, transmitted at shipment close from the record the warehouse packed against. |
| EDI 810 invoice | Bills Dry Goods electronically from the same shipment. Note that Dry Goods publishes its own accounts payable policy, separate from Von Maur's, so confirm the terms against that document rather than assuming the parent's. |
| EDI 997 acknowledgment | Confirms each file arrived and parsed, tracked both directions. |
Vendor Requirements
The most important thing to know about selling Dry Goods is structural rather than technical: it publishes its own rules. A brand that reads the Von Maur compliance guide and assumes it covers Dry Goods is working from the wrong document.
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The Dry Goods compliance guide | Published on the Dry Goods vendor policies site under its own effective date, separate from the Von Maur guide. This is the document your shipments are measured against. |
| The Dry Goods accounts payable policy | Also published separately, and also revised on its own schedule. Payment terms, deductions and how invoices are handled live here rather than in the compliance guide. |
| Your vendor number | Issued for the Dry Goods relationship. Being set up with Von Maur does not automatically give you a Dry Goods number. |
| How your account is structured | Whether Dry Goods runs as its own trading partner setup or under the Von Maur one depends on how your brand was onboarded. It is the first thing our EDI team confirms, because it decides everything downstream. |
| Store and DC routing | Dry Goods stores are a different footprint from Von Maur's. The cross reference is built for the banner you are actually shipping. |
| Carrier codes | SCAC and transport codes set up before go-live, the same discipline as any department store account. |
We have deliberately not reproduced Dry Goods' specific figures here. The guide moves, and the version that governs your shipments is the one on their vendor policies site on the day you ship. Our EDI team works from that copy during onboarding.
Dry Goods EDI Workflow
One loop, one system, and an account kept properly separate from the parent banner.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Order arrives | The 850 lands and becomes a sales order against the Dry Goods account, kept distinct from Von Maur even where the two share an inventory pool. |
| 2. Allocate | Units come off the same stock record that feeds every other channel you sell. |
| 3. Pick, pack, ship | The built-in warehouse module picks and packs to your Dry Goods packing rule, and UCC 128 carton labels print from the shipment. |
| 4. Freight | Freight references are applied to the shipment according to the current Dry Goods guide and how the goods are moving. |
| 5. ASN | The 856 transmits at shipment close, carton by carton. |
| 6. Invoice | The 810 bills against the same shipment, on the terms in the Dry Goods accounts payable policy. |
Native vs Bolted On
Short answer, no. With two banners under one parent the answer is worth spelling out.
Dry Goods and Von Maur are separate customer accounts drawing on one inventory pool, which is what lets you sell both without keeping two stock files or two sets of allocations.
Our EDI team confirms how your Dry Goods relationship is structured before building it, rather than assuming it mirrors the parent.
Two banners under one parent is exactly the situation where a separate EDI provider bills you twice and syncs both against one ERP that knows about neither.
The failure shows up as a unit sold twice, once per banner.
The Banner
Dry Goods is Von Maur's younger, more fashion-driven banner. Different stores, different customer, different buying, and from a vendor's point of view a genuinely different relationship.
It is run as its own vendor relationship with its own published policies. Treating it as a department of Von Maur is the mistake that leads to shipments measured against a guide you never read.
The underlying discipline is familiar if you already ship Von Maur: floor-ready merchandise, carton labels that scan, an ASN that arrives before the goods. The specifics are what differ, and the specifics are what get charged.
One Stock Record
Selling two banners should not mean maintaining two inventory files. In AIMS360 it does not.
| Situation | What AIMS360 does |
|---|---|
| Selling Dry Goods and Von Maur | Two customer accounts, two sets of rules, one stock record. A unit committed to one banner is not available to the other. |
| More than one warehouse | Availability rolls up across locations, and the shipment carries the location it will leave from. |
| A 3PL holding stock | Integrated 3PL locations feed the same record. |
| Selling other department stores too | The same pool feeds Boscov's, Belk, Dillard's and the rest. |
Managed Onboarding
The first job is confirming what your Dry Goods relationship actually is. Everything else follows from that.
| Stage | What we do |
|---|---|
| Before kickoff | Confirm your Dry Goods vendor number and whether the account is structured separately from Von Maur. Pull the current compliance guide and accounts payable policy from the Dry Goods vendor policies site. |
| Setup | Build the customer account, the store and DC cross reference for the Dry Goods footprint, packing rules, carrier codes and label format. |
| Testing | Test the 850, 856 and 810 end to end against the current guide. |
| Go live | Watch the first live shipment through to invoice. |
| After | Track revisions on both documents, because the compliance guide and the accounts payable policy move independently. |
We run emergency EDI support around the clock.
Dry Goods EDI FAQ
Mostly about the relationship between the two banners, which is where brands get caught.
AIMS360. It is a consumer brands ERP with native EDI: the 850 purchase order in, the 856 ship notice with UCC 128 carton labels and the 810 invoice out, with 997 acknowledgments both directions. Inventory, warehouse and EDI are the same system, so the ASN is generated from the shipment your warehouse closed. Our EDI team confirms how your Dry Goods account should be structured and then builds it.
No, and this is the thing worth getting right. Dry Goods publishes its own compliance guide and its own accounts payable policy on its own vendor site, separate from Von Maur's. Your shipments are measured against the Dry Goods document, not the parent's. Whether the EDI account itself sits separately or under the Von Maur setup depends on how your brand was onboarded, which is the first thing we confirm.
Yes, the Dry Goods relationship has its own vendor number. Being set up with Von Maur does not give you one. Ask your buyer if you do not have it.
On the Dry Goods vendor policies site, which publishes the compliance guide and the accounts payable policy with their own effective dates. Both get revised, and they get revised independently, so use the copies on that site rather than a saved PDF.
The 850 purchase order in, the 856 ship notice and 810 invoice out, with 997 acknowledgments both ways. Confirm the current document list and any additional requirements against the guide issued to your brand.
Yes, and that is the point of running both inside the ERP. They are separate customer accounts with separate rules drawing on one stock record, so a unit committed to a Von Maur order is not still showing as available for Dry Goods.
Because the retailer treats them as separate relationships with separate published rules, so it would be misleading to cover them as one. If you sell both, read both. The Von Maur page covers the parent banner, including a freight reference requirement that is genuinely unusual.
No. The EDI is native to AIMS360 and managed by our EDI team. Two banners under one parent is exactly the case where a per-partner EDI provider charges twice for what is one inventory pool and one warehouse.
The same underlying discipline you will know from other department store accounts: merchandise that can go straight to the selling floor, carton labels that scan first time, and an ASN that reaches the retailer before the freight does. The specific packing and label requirements are in the Dry Goods compliance guide.
Yes. The same inventory record and the same warehouse feed Dry Goods, Von Maur, Boscov's, Belk, Dillard's, Macy's and the rest of the 350-plus retailers we connect to natively.
We do. The maps belong to us, and we track both the compliance guide and the accounts payable policy because they change on separate schedules.
Send us your Dry Goods vendor number and the current compliance guide and accounts payable policy, and tell us whether Von Maur is in scope too. Our EDI team will confirm the account structure and build it from there.
