Native Von Maur EDI inside AIMS360: 850 orders, 856 ASNs carrying both the PRO number and the pickup or load number, UCC 128 carton labels and 810 invoices.
Von Maur EDI Integration
AIMS360 is a consumer brands ERP with Von Maur EDI built in. One platform runs your inventory by style, color and size and produces what Von Maur asks for: 850 purchase orders in, 856 ASNs carrying both the PRO number and the pickup or load number, UCC 128 carton labels, and 810 invoices billed against the store to DC cross reference. The connection is managed by our EDI team, including the guide revisions Von Maur publishes every quarter.
What system manages inventory and does EDI with Von Maur? AIMS360. It runs your inventory and your Von Maur EDI in one platform: native maps for the 850, 856 and 810, UCC 128 carton labels printed from the same shipment record as the ASN, and the freight references Von Maur is particular about. Truckload and less than truckload shipments carry both a PRO number and a pickup or load number, while small package shipments replace the bill of lading number with tracking recorded per carton. Von Maur revises its compliance guide roughly quarterly and our EDI team tracks those revisions. You do not pair AIMS360 with SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce or another EDI network.
Von Maur EDI Documents
Built from the same ERP records that run your inventory, warehouse and accounting, so the ASN and the cartons on the truck describe the same shipment.
| Transaction | What it does for Von Maur |
|---|---|
| EDI 850 purchase order | Von Maur 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. This is the document where Von Maur's freight reference requirements bite. |
| EDI 810 invoice | Bills Von Maur electronically from the same shipment the ASN was built from. |
| EDI 997 acknowledgment | Confirms each file arrived and parsed, tracked both directions. |
Vendor Requirements
Short list, one genuinely unusual item, and a guide that moves every quarter.
| Requirement | What Von Maur expects |
|---|---|
| Freight references on LTL | Truckload and less than truckload shipments need both a PRO number and a pickup or load number on the ASN. Both, not one or the other. This is the single most common Von Maur setup mistake. |
| Small package shipments | Ship UPS or FedEx and the tracking number replaces the bill of lading number, with a tracking number recorded against every carton. |
| FOB terms | Von Maur works on terms defined between buyer and seller rather than a standard collect or prepaid code, so the FOB setting has to match what your buyer actually agreed. |
| Carrier codes | Every carrier needs a SCAC code set up before you go live. Von Maur will not sort out a missing carrier code on the day of a pickup. |
| Store to DC cross reference | Stores are cross referenced to the distribution center that serves them, so the ASN routes to the right place and the invoice bills correctly. |
| Vendor number | Issued by your buyer or by Von Maur's EDI department. |
| Packing rules | Held against the trading partner so the carton packing is consistent across shipments rather than depending on who is packing that day. |
Von Maur revises its compliance guide roughly every quarter and publishes each version on its vendor policies page. The most recent one we could verify took effect in April 2026. Work from the current copy rather than a saved PDF, because a guide that revises four times a year will outrun any table on a website, this one included.
Von Maur EDI Workflow
One loop, one system, and freight references entered once on the shipment.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Order arrives | The 850 lands and becomes a sales order, validated against your catalog. |
| 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 Von Maur packing rule, and UCC 128 carton labels print from the shipment. |
| 4. Freight references | For truckload and less than truckload, the PRO number and the pickup or load number both go onto the shipment. For small package, tracking replaces the bill of lading and is recorded per carton. |
| 5. ASN | The 856 transmits at shipment close, carton by carton, from the record the warehouse just closed. |
| 6. Invoice | The 810 bills against the same shipment, routed against the store to DC cross reference. |
Native vs Bolted On
Short answer, no. On a quarterly guide cycle it is worth spelling out why.
The ASN and the carton labels come off one shipment record, and the freight references are entered once on that shipment rather than typed into a second system.
Our EDI team runs the connection, the maps and the test cycle with Von Maur, and tracks the quarterly guide revisions.
A retailer that revises its compliance guide four times a year is a retailer whose maps need maintaining four times a year. With a bolted-on provider that is a change request you raise and chase.
With native EDI it is our work, not yours.
Banners And Name Confusion
The full-line department store business, family owned and run out of Iowa. Wholesale orders to a distribution center on the 850, 856 and 810.
Von Maur's younger, more fashion-driven banner, and a separate vendor relationship rather than a division of the same one. It publishes its own compliance guide and its own accounts payable policy on its own site.
If you sell both, you are reading two sets of rules. The Dry Goods page covers that side.
Worth clearing up because the codes look alike: Von Maur and Maurices are unrelated companies. Different owners, different buying offices, different EDI setups. If you sell both, keep the accounts clearly named, because the short codes are close enough to mix up in a hurry.
One Stock Record
Von Maur is a store-level department store business, so allocation runs to the store breakdown on the order and the warehouse packs against it.
| Situation | What AIMS360 does |
|---|---|
| Selling Von Maur and Dry Goods | Two trading relationships, one inventory pool. Neither banner gets its own stock file to keep in step. |
| More than one warehouse | Availability rolls up across locations, and the shipment carries the location it will actually leave from. |
| A 3PL holding stock | Integrated 3PL locations feed the same record, so the carton counts on the ASN are real. |
| Selling other department stores too | The same pool feeds Boscov's, Belk, Dillard's and the rest. |
Managed Onboarding
Our EDI team builds the connection and tests it with Von Maur. You supply the vendor number and the current guide.
| Stage | What we do |
|---|---|
| Before kickoff | Pull the current compliance guide from Von Maur's vendor policies page and confirm whether Dry Goods is in scope as well. |
| Setup | Build the customer account, the store to DC cross reference, packing rules, carrier SCAC codes and the freight reference handling. |
| Testing | Test the 850, 856 and 810 end to end, including an ASN carrying both freight references. |
| Go live | Watch the first live shipment through to invoice. |
| After | Track the quarterly guide revisions and keep the maps current. |
We run emergency EDI support around the clock, because a shipment held over a missing freight reference is not a next-business-day problem.
Von Maur EDI FAQ
The freight references, the quarterly guide, and the name that gets confused with another retailer.
AIMS360. It is a consumer brands ERP with Von Maur EDI built in: 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 own EDI team runs the connection.
Both a PRO number and a pickup or load number, on truckload and less than truckload shipments. That is unusual. Most retailers want one or the other, so a setup carried over from another account will be missing one of them, and you find out on the first shipment.
When you ship UPS or FedEx, the tracking number replaces the bill of lading number and a tracking number is recorded against each carton. So the same account behaves differently depending on how the freight moves, which is why the carrier setup has to be complete before you go live rather than built as you go.
The 850 purchase order in, the 856 ship notice and 810 invoice out, with 997 acknowledgments tracked both ways.
Von Maur works on terms defined between the buyer and the seller rather than a fixed collect or prepaid code, so the setting in your system has to match what your buyer actually agreed. Confirm it with them rather than assuming the default that works for other accounts.
Roughly quarterly. Von Maur publishes each revision of its compliance guide on its vendor policies page with an effective date, and the most recent one we could verify took effect in April 2026. That cadence is a good reason not to own the map maintenance yourself.
No. Dry Goods is Von Maur's separate banner and it publishes its own compliance guide and its own accounts payable policy on its own site. If you sell both, you are working to two sets of rules. Our EDI team will confirm how your specific setup should be structured before onboarding.
No, and the short codes are close enough that it is worth saying plainly. They are unrelated companies with different owners, different buying offices and different EDI setups. Keep the accounts clearly named so nobody ships one against the other's rules.
No. The maps are native to AIMS360 and managed by our EDI team. On a retailer that revises its guide quarterly, a bolted-on provider means a change request four times a year that you raise and chase.
Stores are cross referenced to the distribution center that serves them, so the ASN routes correctly and the invoice bills to the right place. We build that cross reference during setup rather than leaving it as homework.
Yes. The same inventory record and the same warehouse feed Von Maur, Dry Goods, 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, so a quarterly revision is our work rather than a recurring project on your side.
See AIMS360 put both freight references on the ASN without anybody typing them twice.
