The Challenge of Dick's Sporting Goods EDI

Tight Ship Notice Timing and Strict Invoice Rules

Box with checkmark overlaid, representing a verified, completed or fulfilled order

A One-Hour Ship Notice Window

EDI providers report that Dick's expects the 856 within an hour of a shipment leaving and while the freight is in transit. Rekeying ship details by hand misses that window.

Stacked user icons, representing sub-accounts or team access

Invoices Keyed by Hand

Published summaries of Dick's vendor rules describe a charge for each invoice keyed by hand and rejection of any invoice without a matching purchase order.

Bulk, Store, and Drop Ship Orders

Dick's orders arrive for bulk replenishment, stores, and drop ship shoppers. When each flow counts stock separately, the same units get promised twice.

The Solution for Dick's EDI Integration & Order Management

Dick's Sets the Clock on Every Shipment. Pipe17 Runs the Orders Behind It.

Pipe17’s managed EDI can carry your Dick’s documents, or they can stay with your current provider. Trouble starts after the 850, when scripts and a legacy OMS fill Dick’s orders apart from web stock. Pipe17’s Order Operations Platform covers both jobs, and every Dick’s order draws on one inventory count.

One Count for Every Channel

Dick's orders, drop ship orders, and your web store share one inventory. The 846 reports from that shared count.

Automated Dick's Sporting Goods EDI Flows

Dick’s Sporting Goods exchanges its 850s, 856s, and 810s with vendors over EDI and posts EDI rules and mapping files on its vendor portal. Pipe17 joins your Dick’s trading-partner connection through managed EDI and checks every document against your own orders and inventory.
  • Pull Orders from Dick’s. Each Dick’s purchase order (850), whether it ships in bulk, to a store, or to a Dick’s shopper, becomes an order in Pipe17 with its UPCs matched to your SKUs.
  • Push Order Confirmations to Dick’s. If Dick’s wants an 855 acknowledgment on your account, Pipe17 returns one that accepts the whole order or confirms line by line what you can fill.
  • Push Fulfillments to Dick’s. Published EDI guides say Dick’s wants the 856 within an hour of a shipment closing and in hand while the freight is still moving, and Pipe17 assembles it from the load your warehouse or 3PL records as shipped.
  • Push Inventory to Dick’s. For drop ship connections that call for inventory advice, Pipe17 sends an 846 counted from the warehouses and 3PLs you choose to offer Dick’s.
  • Push Invoices to Dick’s. Each 810 goes over EDI citing the Dick’s purchase order it bills and the shipment it covers. Dick’s vendor rules, as EDI providers summarize them, charge back invoices not sent over EDI.
  • Confirm Receipt of Every Dick’s File. Dick’s gets a 997 functional acknowledgment for each file it sends, and both sides can see it arrived.
  • Carton Labels Tied to the Ship Notice. Your warehouse or 3PL pulls GS1-128 (UCC-128) data for each Dick’s carton from Pipe17’s API and applies the label, with label scope agreed for your program.
  • Send Each PO Where the Stock Is. Your routing rules assign each Dick’s order to a warehouse or 3PL with enough units on hand.
  • Drop Ship Orders by API. Where your Dick’s drop ship orders run on Logicbroker, they reach Pipe17 through its connector for that platform and join the same order queue.
  • Post Dick’s Sales to Your ERP. Each Dick’s order posts to your ERP as a sales order, whether that ERP is NetSuite, Acumatica, or another.
  • Warehouse EDI for Your 3PL. If your 3PL trades EDI, Pipe17 hands it each Dick’s order in a 940 and uses the 945 that comes back as the source for the 856.
  • Hold Orders That Break a Rule. The Automation Engine stops a Dick’s order with an unmapped UPC or a failed check and flags it to your team as an exception.

Connect Dick's EDI to Your Sports Network

Dick’s is one account among team dealers, specialty shops, marketplaces, and web store you sell through. Pipe17 runs them from one count, so a size run sold online comes off the count Dick’s is offered.

Dick's Sporting Goods EDI Integration FAQs

Dick's Sporting Goods expects the advance ship notice (856) within one hour of a shipment closing and leaving your facility, and it must reach Dick's while the freight is still in transit, EDI providers report. Sending it before pickup is acceptable once every required detail is ready. Pipe17 creates the 856 after your warehouse or 3PL records the shipment, one step on a Dick's purchase order's route to the invoice.

Dick's drop ship orders can reach Pipe17 two ways. Logicbroker runs a support site for Dick's drop ship vendors, and Pipe17 connects to it through its Logicbroker connector. A drop ship connection can also run on Pipe17's managed EDI, trading purchase orders (850), ship notices (856), inventory advice (846), and invoices (810). Each package needs a packing slip, printed in your building or at a 3PL such as ShipBob.

Dick's charges $25 for each invoice it has to enter manually, according to published summaries of its vendor rules. EDI providers add that Dick's rejects invoices with no matching purchase order (850) and expects each invoice (810) to cite the child PO number. Pipe17 sends the 810 against the order and shipment it bills, one of the X12 documents Pipe17 runs for retailers, and the order can post to NetSuite.

A Dick's carton label has to match the advance ship notice (856): EDI providers report that the SSCC-18 on each GS1-128 (UCC-128) label appears on the 856 exactly and that Dick's accepts only 4 by 6 inch thermal-transfer labels. Pipe17 supplies label data for each Dick's carton through its API, scoped per program, for your warehouse or 3PL to print and apply, and the same carton detail fills the ASN.

Dick's routes vendor shipments through its transportation management system at logistics.dcsg.com, and EDI providers report that the ship notice (856) must carry the shipment ID that system assigns. Pipe17 maps your Dick's documents to rules like this one during setup and the testing Dick's approves, working from the EDI rules and mapping files on Dick's vendor portal. Setup also confirms where the shipment ID enters your order operations.

Yes, SPS Commerce can keep running your Dick's program while Pipe17 connects to SPS directly or picks up orders from the ERP that SPS writes them into, Acumatica or any other, as working beside the EDI provider you keep describes.
