The Challenge of Destination Retail EDI

Extreme Product Diversity and Experience Requirements

Size Range Extremes

One Bass Pro purchase order can mix small tackle with bulky gear. Keyed by hand, lines get missed and cartons ship short or misrouted.

Carton Rules at the Dock

Bass Pro sets carton and label rules for inbound freight. A missing GS1-128 label or late ship notice turns routine deliveries into compliance problems.

Seasonal Outdoor Intensity

Hunting, fishing, and camping seasons pull demand into short windows. When store orders and online sales count stock separately, both promise the same units.

The Solution for Bass Pro EDI Integration & Order Management

Bass Pro Shops Stocks the Aisles. Pipe17 Keeps Your Side of the Order Moving.

Run Bass Pro documents through Pipe17’s managed EDI, or keep your current provider. Problems begin once the PO lands, when in-house scripts and a legacy OMS work it apart from online stock. Pipe17’s Order Operations Platform retires that pair and backs every Bass Pro order with one count.

Automated Bass Pro EDI Flows

Bass Pro Shops sends purchase orders to its suppliers over EDI and receives their ship notices and invoices the same way. Pipe17 joins that trading-partner program through managed EDI and runs each document against your orders, stock, and shipping locations.
  • Pull Orders from Bass Pro. A Bass Pro Shops purchase order (850) arrives through managed EDI, and Pipe17 matches its item numbers and ship-to details to your SKUs and warehouses before anyone on your team touches it.
  • Push Order Confirmations to Bass Pro. If your Bass Pro program wants an 855 purchase order acknowledgment, Pipe17 returns one confirming each line or trimming it to the quantity you hold.
  • Push Fulfillments to Bass Pro. When the shipment is confirmed at your warehouse or 3PL, Bass Pro receives an 856 ship notice listing the cartons and counts that went out on that truck or parcel run.
  • Push Inventory to Bass Pro. Pipe17 reports what you can sell to Bass Pro in an 846 inventory advice, as often as the program asks, counted from the locations you decide to share.
  • Push Invoices to Bass Pro. An 810 invoice follows each recorded shipment, priced from the Bass Pro purchase order and counted from what your warehouse actually sent.
  • Acknowledge Each Bass Pro Transmission. Pipe17 answers every document Bass Pro sends with a 997 functional acknowledgment, which tells both sides the file arrived.
  • Hand Master-Case Label Data to the Dock. Where Bass Pro asks for GS1-128 (UCC-128) labels on master cases, your warehouse or 3PL pulls the label data from Pipe17’s API and applies each label. Label scope is agreed per program.
  • Pick the Shipping Location. Routing rules you set send every Bass Pro order to whichever warehouse or 3PL has the units on hand.
  • Book Bass Pro Revenue in Your ERP. Each order posts to your ERP, NetSuite for example, as a sales order next to the rest of your wholesale and online sales.
  • Send 3PL Work Orders Over EDI. An EDI-capable 3PL gets each Bass Pro order from Pipe17 as a 940, and the 945 it sends back feeds the Bass Pro ship notice.
  • Flag Problems Before Bass Pro Sees Them. An order with an unmapped item or a failed validation rule goes to your team as an exception with room left to fix it before the ship notice is due.

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's EDI Integration FAQs

Yes, Pipe17 can run Cabela's orders beside Bass Pro Shops orders. Bass Pro Shops has owned Cabela's since 2017, and its drop ship documentation addresses suppliers to both banners. Store purchase orders (850) from either banner can run on Pipe17's managed EDI along the path a store purchase order takes, with ship notices (856) and invoices (810) returning the same way. Setup confirms which banners and documents your account covers.

Pipe17 runs the Bass Pro Shops documents on managed EDI: incoming purchase orders (850), and outgoing invoices (810), inventory advice (846), and advance ship notices (856), with a 997 functional acknowledgment for every exchange. A purchase order acknowledgment (855) goes back wherever your program asks for one. Each document is mapped and tested to Bass Pro's rules, as the list of X12 documents Pipe17 handles sets out.

Bass Pro Shops drop ship programs use Rithum's DSCO platform, which hosts supplier documentation written for Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's. Pipe17 connects to that platform by API through its Rithum DSCO connector. Each drop ship order then joins your store-bound purchase orders (850) in one queue, drawing on the same inventory and routing rules in Pipe17's order operations.

Bass Pro Shops wants a GS1-128 (UCC-128) label on every master case, according to 3PL guidance for its suppliers. That guidance also caps cartons at 30 by 22 by 18 inches and asks for each SKU in its own inner case with a scannable UPC. Your warehouse or 3PL applies labels from carton label data Pipe17 supplies, scoped per program, and the advance ship notice (ASN) lists each carton.

A new Bass Pro Shops vendor first completes the vendor agreement package, summary page and exhibits included, according to 3PL guidance for Bass Pro suppliers. An assigned vendor number follows, and only then can team members request vendor portal access. Pipe17 then maps your Bass Pro documents and trades test files until Bass Pro signs off, as the managed EDI onboarding steps set out.

Yes, SPS Commerce keeps running your Bass Pro Shops program while Pipe17 takes those orders from SPS or from the ERP it posts into, such as NetSuite, as how Pipe17 runs beside the EDI provider you keep explains.
