FAQ
Big Lots EDI questions
What is Big Lots EDI?
Big Lots accepts EDI for 7 document types across 0 channels. Trading partners use EDI to exchange purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and acknowledgements with Big Lots programmatically — Stacksync handles the entire EDI exchange, validation, and translation into your ERP, WMS, or database.
Which EDI standards does Big Lots use?
Big Lots uses X12. Stacksync supports both X12 (the dominant North American standard) and EDIFACT (the dominant European and global shipping standard) for every connected trading partner. Channel-specific implementation guidelines from Big Lots are pre-built into the Stacksync connector and validated on every outbound transaction.
Which transaction codes does Big Lots support?
Big Lots supports 7 transaction codes in total. The most common include: 856, 204, 990, 810, 214, 850, 860. Each code is mapped to its business-record equivalent (purchase order, ASN, invoice, etc.) inside Stacksync, so EDI exchanges land directly in your ERP or warehouse without manual translation.
How long does Big Lots EDI integration take with Stacksync?
Most Big Lots EDI integrations go live in 3 to 10 business days. The Stacksync team handles partner enrolment, channel certification, transaction-set mapping per Big Lots's implementation guide, and end-to-end testing. Complex multi-channel deployments or custom transaction sets take 2 to 4 weeks. Cutover is zero-downtime and parallel-run validated.
