AIMS360 Automates Fashion Purchase Orders with EDI 850 – Built-In Apparel ERP Integration for Retail, Wholesale, and 3PL Fulfillment

Streamline fashion purchase orders from major retailers with EDI 850. AIMS360 automates order flow from retailers to your inventory, warehouse, or 3PL—no middleware required. Supports both bulk orders and dropship orders.

What is EDI 850 Fashion Purchase Order?

An EDI 850 is an electronic document used by retailers and fashion buyers to submit purchase orders to apparel brands. In the fashion industry, it standardizes how products are ordered—whether it’s for wholesale, department stores, or dropshipping. AIMS360 Apparel ERP automates the receipt of EDI 850s, ensuring inventory levels, SKUs, and fulfillment processes are instantly aligned—eliminating manual errors and speeding up order processing.

How EDI 850 Integrates with AIMS360 Inventory Management?

When a buyer sends an EDI 850, it flows directly into your AIMS360 system, triggering real-time updates to inventory across all colors and sizes. This is critical for apparel brands managing complex SKU grids and warehouse stock. AIMS360 lets you compare bulk order projections (like seasonal prebooks or showroom estimates) against actual 850 purchase orders—so you can adjust production plans, minimize overstock, and avoid missed sales due to underproduction. Whether you’re managing inventory for retail, e-commerce, or dropshipping, AIMS360 keeps your stock and fulfillment synced.

Benefits of Using EDI 850 in Fashion ERP Software

EDI 850 is the foundation of a scalable fashion supply chain. By processing EDI orders through AIMS360, you unlock automated workflows, tighter inventory control, and compliance with major retailers. This makes it easy for the order fulfillment to be sent directly to your internal warehouse or third-party 3PL—no manual re-entry or delays. Unlike generic inventory software, AIMS360 is purpose-built for fashion, offering built-in support for EDI 810, 856, and 850 documents—without per-transaction fees or third-party integrations.
