What Big Lots requires

850

Purchase Order

The order a trading partner sends you. Process same day, never re-key.

855

Purchase Order Acknowledgment

Confirms what you can ship against the PO — quantities, dates, substitutions.

856

Ship Notice / ASN

The carton-level shipment mirror that must arrive before the freight does.

810

Invoice

Your bill for the shipment. Must reconcile with the PO and the ASN.

997

Functional Acknowledgment

The receipt for every document. Automatic, both directions, within minutes.

Compliance matters here: Big Lots vendor compliance. EDISQ validates every outbound document against Big Lots's companion guide before transmission, so chargebacks stop at the map.

How EDISQ connects to Big Lots

Big Lots trades AS2 direct. EDISQ maintains the AS2 connection and certificates, registers your IDs, and loads the certified maps the moment you enable the partner:

1Enable Big Lots from the partner catalog — document maps load automatically.
2Cross-reference your data — vendor number, ship-to locations, item identifiers. The wizard flags anything missing.
3Run test scenarios in the sandbox — validated end-to-end before anything goes live.

Typical Big Lots setup with EDISQ: 1–3 days on the EDI side.

Pricing for Big Lots suppliers

No Big Lots-specific fees. First 25 documents/month free, then $0.50 per document, cheaper as volume grows — no VAN, mapping, or partner fees. Full pricing →

Big Lots EDI FAQ

Does closeout buying change the EDI flow?

The documents are the same 850/856/810 chain — what changes is that quantities are final and ship windows firm. EDISQ validates before transmission so nothing bounces.

What does EDI with Big Lots cost?

Per document only: first 25/month free, then from $0.50, decreasing with volume.
