The Challenge of Hibbett Sports EDI

A Fee for Every Carton, Label, and Invoice Error

Chat bubble with globe, symbolizing global communication or multilingual support

Ship Notices Priced by the Carton

Hibbett charges per carton plus an administration fee when a ship notice is late, wrong, or missing. Keyed ship details add that risk to every load.

Store Locations on Every Order

Direct-to-store purchase orders name store locations. A missing location on the ship notice, or one invoice covering several stores, draws its own fee.

Short Shipments and Prepacks

Hibbett charges when prepacks ship below 100% or a shipment falls under 80% of the order. Stock promised to another channel turns into short shipments.

The Solution for Hibbett Sports EDI Integration & Order Management

Hibbett Counts Every Carton. Pipe17 Makes Sure Your Paperwork Agrees.

Pipe17’s managed EDI can take on your Hibbett documents, or your present provider can hold them. Gaps follow, as custom code and a legacy OMS work Hibbett store orders away from online stock. Both roles are absorbed by Pipe17’s Order Operations Platform, and Hibbett orders ship from one stock figure.

Documents That Match the Freight

Ship notices come from the cartons your warehouse confirms. Contents, store locations, and shipment numbers come from the shipment your warehouse recorded.

Invoices Over EDI, Not Paper

Each 810 goes over EDI from a confirmed shipment and is priced from the Hibbett purchase order it bills.

Full Orders From Shared Stock

Hibbett orders and online sales pull from a single live count. Units set aside for a Hibbett prepack leave the count your storefront sells from.

Automated Hibbett Sports EDI Flows

Hibbett sends purchase orders to its vendors over EDI, expects ship notices and invoices back the same way, and publishes a fee for each late or incorrect document. Through managed EDI, Pipe17 connects to your Hibbett trading-partner program and ties every ship notice and invoice to a confirmed shipment.
  • Pull Orders from Hibbett Sports. Hibbett purchase orders (850), with the store locations and packing instructions they carry, arrive in Pipe17 as orders mapped to your SKUs.
  • Push Order Confirmations to Hibbett Sports. When your Hibbett program calls for an 855 acknowledgment, Pipe17 returns it, accepting the full order or just the lines and quantities in stock.
  • Push Fulfillments to Hibbett Sports. Built from cartons your warehouse confirms, the 856 names the store location, carton contents, and shipment number Hibbett checks against the freight it receives.
  • Push Inventory to Hibbett Sports. Where Hibbett asks for inventory advice, Pipe17 transmits an 846 built from whichever warehouses you open to the account.
  • Push Invoices to Hibbett Sports. Each 810 travels over EDI rather than paper and follows a confirmed shipment, priced from the Hibbett purchase order it bills.
  • Return a 997 for Each Hibbett File. Pipe17 answers every document Hibbett sends with a 997 functional acknowledgment confirming the file arrived.
  • Carton Label Data by API. Each Hibbett carton gets GS1-128 (UCC-128) label content that your packers or 3PL fetch by API from Pipe17 and place, with scope set per program.
  • Route Each PO to Stock on Hand. Routing rules match each Hibbett order with a location that holds its units, your own building or a 3PL, which helps avoid short shipments.
  • Hibbett Revenue in Your ERP. A Hibbett purchase order books in NetSuite or whatever ERP you run, becoming one more wholesale sales order there.
  • EDI Work Orders for Your 3PL. A 3PL that trades EDI gets a 940 for every Hibbett order, and its 945 confirms what left the building.
  • Exceptions Before the Fee. The Automation Engine holds a Hibbett order with a missing store location or unmapped item and raises it with your team as an exception.

Connect Hibbett Sports EDI to Your Athletic Business

Hibbett sits beside your other athletic accounts, your web store, and marketplaces such as Amazon. Pipe17 runs them all from one stock pool, so a sneaker sold on your site reduces Hibbett’s count too.

Hibbett Sports EDI Integration FAQs

Hibbett charges $5 per carton plus a $500 fee for a late advance ship notice (856), and $15 per carton plus $500 when the 856 is incorrect or missing, under fees effective July 5, 2023. No single violation exceeds 20% of PO cost. Pipe17 builds the 856 from cartons your warehouse confirms, along the path a Hibbett order follows from PO to invoice, and each carton appears on the ASN.

Hibbett wants a separate invoice for each shipping location on a direct-to-store purchase order, with a $175 fee per invoice when missed, capped at 20% of PO cost. The same $175 applies when an EDI-eligible invoice arrives on paper. Pipe17 sends each invoice (810) over managed EDI from a confirmed shipment, with the per-location split confirmed at setup and the order posted to NetSuite through managed EDI's ERP posting.

Hibbett charges $25 per carton plus $500 for a missing or misplaced GS1-128 label, and $10 per carton plus $500 when contents differ from the advance ship notice. Non-conveyable cartons draw the same $25 per carton plus $500. Labels come from GS1-128 data Pipe17 provides through its API, scoped by program, and your warehouse or 3PL applies them, while the advance ship notice lists those same cartons.

No, routing requests stay with your shipping team, which follows Hibbett's routing process, and Hibbett charges $500 per shipment for a shipment that arrives without an appointment or a routing request. Missing or incorrect bill of lading details cost $500 plus freight. Pipe17 takes over once the shipment is confirmed, sending the ship notice (856) built from the shipment recorded by your warehouse or by a 3PL such as ShipBob.

Yes, when Hibbett is one account beside direct, marketplace, or other retail sales, because Pipe17's managed EDI runs together with those orders. A brand that sells only to Hibbett over EDI should first read the fit guidance for Pipe17's managed EDI.
