Cerasis EDI 204 FAQ

Common questions about 204 Motor Carrier Load Tender transactions with Cerasis.

How long does it take to set up Cerasis EDI with Stacksync?

Most suppliers are fully connected and processing live Cerasis EDI transactions within 3–5 business days. Stacksync's no-code setup means you don't need developers or EDI consultants — configure your field mappings through our visual interface, run a test cycle, and go live.

Do I need an existing VAN or AS2 connection to trade with Cerasis?

No. Stacksync handles the entire EDI transport layer. We connect directly to Cerasis's trading partner network through our certified connections. You don't need to manage a separate VAN subscription, AS2 certificates, or SFTP configurations.

How does Stacksync help with Cerasis compliance?

Stacksync improves compliance scores by eliminating manual processing delays. Purchase Orders sync to your system in real time, ASNs are generated automatically when you ship, and invoices are validated with three-way matching before submission. Real-time monitoring alerts you to issues before they become chargebacks.

What EDI document types does Stacksync support for Cerasis?

Stacksync supports all EDI document types required by Cerasis — including Purchase Orders (850), Invoices (810), ASNs (856), PO Acknowledgments (855), and more. Our platform handles the full lifecycle from order to payment automatically.

Can I connect Cerasis EDI to my existing ERP or WMS?

Yes. Stacksync integrates with any system that has a database or API — including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, and custom-built ERPs. Data flows bidirectionally between Cerasis's EDI network and your system in real time.

What happens when Cerasis updates their EDI specifications?

Stacksync monitors Cerasis's EDI spec changes and updates our mappings proactively. When a change affects your integration, we notify you and apply updates — so you stay compliant without scrambling to decode new implementation guides.
