FAQ
SAIL EDI questions
What is SAIL EDI?
SAIL accepts EDI for 5 document types across 1 channel. Trading partners use EDI to exchange purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and acknowledgements with SAIL programmatically, Stacksync handles the entire EDI exchange, validation, and translation into your ERP, WMS, or database.
Which EDI standards does SAIL use?
SAIL 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 SAIL are pre-built into the Stacksync connector and validated on every outbound transaction.
Which transaction codes does SAIL support?
SAIL supports 5 transaction codes in total. The most common include: 850, 860, 855, 856, 810. 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 SAIL EDI integration take with Stacksync?
Most SAIL EDI integrations go live in 3 to 10 business days. The Stacksync team handles partner enrolment, channel certification, transaction-set mapping per SAIL'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.
