You can now overpack an 856 Advance Shipping Notice from the web even if your unpacked items list has no remaining units to ship. This can be helpful in cases where you have a PO quantity change that hasn't been communicated over EDI but still needs to go out on your shipment.

To use this feature create an 856 transaction from the Web and scroll to your unpacked items to overpack your shipment. Learn more here.

When creating and sending 856 transactions via the web, you can now request that .pdf labels be generated. Many users have indicated that this is their preferred print format and is useful when sending labels to third-party shippers.

Select your shipping labels from the available templates and click "Include PDF Labels" to use this feature.

When using WEB EDI to create an 856 Advance Ship Notice you no longer have to lookup the SCAC code of your carrier elsewhere. We've gathered the codes of more than 200 carriers and ship methods so you can search for them directly in Orderful and we'll put the code in your 856 document as well as any labels you produce.

Learn more about 856 and label generation with Orderful.

For some time now, Orderful has supported label generation via API. We have an extensive catalog of retailer labels (both carton and pallet) that are vetted and compatible with the unique needs of the buyer.

We now offer label generation for web users who also use Orderful to create the Advance Ship Notice (856) they send to their trade partners. Once you build a shipment and pack all your inventory into unique cartons and pallets in the Orderful UI, you’ll be given the option to generate labels for your shipment.

Under the hood, Orderful will look at your shipment and decide how many labels, in which format, and what retailer structure you’ll need. We’ll generate a .zpl file to download with your labels so you can send them to a pack station or warehouse.

SSCC Barcode Generation: Generating a unique barcode for every carton or pallet can be a pain, so we’ve automated this process for you. In your EDI account settings, give us some details about your GS1 company number, and we can generate a unique SSCC barcode for every label on your behalf. The same 20-digit code that is on your label will also be added to your 856 Advance Ship Notice that is sent to your trade partner.

When using Web EDI, entering and re-entering contact details about you and the parties you trade with can be time-consuming and repetitive. While Orderful does a great job of re-using what we can from other transactions in the workflow, sometimes you'll need to enter these details yourself.

Starting today, you can save parties and addresses for reuse across Orderful Web EDI.

1. When creating a new party on any web transaction, click the "Parties and Addresses" link at the top of the section.
2. Choose an existing party or create a new one.
3. When creating a new party, enter all the details you know about them and click "Save and Add."
4. The party will now be saved, and the transaction party details will be auto-filled for you.
5. You can re-use the same data next time you send a similar transaction.

855 Purchase Order Acknowledgements can now be set to "Accept without change" in your 855 Relationship settings. This feature makes responding to lengthy multi-line orders with a wide diversity of products easier to acknowledge.

If "Accept without change" is selected Orderful will:

1. Pre-select an option to accept the 850 Purchase Order sent by your Trading Partner.
2. Pre-select acceptance of each line on the order if your partner requires line-by-line acceptance.
3. You still control sending the transaction manually and can manually change any individual product to adjust it if you are low on inventory or cannot fulfill the product as requested.

We now support creating, editing, and sending 856 EDI transactions from the web! An 856 Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) is the key step of many Retail Workflows. The ASN enables the sender to describe the contents and configuration of a shipment in various levels of detail.

• You can manually process an 856 from any existing 850 Purchase order in the Orderful UI.
• We auto-map elements from the 850 and pre-populate them in the 856 to speed up document creation.
• Select from a variety of packing methods depending on how you ship.
• An unpacked items feature that keeps track of what you've already packed so that you don't miss anything in your shipment.
• We'll validate the 856 meets your trade partners' guidelines before you send it to them.
  Track the 856 to see if it is received by your trade partner.
