Connect with Target Using BOLD VAN for EDI

Target EDI, Done For You

BOLD VAN connects you to Target’s EDI program with fixed, trading‑partner pricing, so you can ship on time without Q4 VAN bill spikes or surprise “Perfect Order” chargebacks. Whether you just need connectivity, full integration into your ERP/WMS/3PL, or a standalone portal to run Target orders, BOLD VAN has a model that fits.

We manage Target specs, onboarding, testing, and map maintenance, and guide your team through setup and best practices inside Partners Online, so your ERP, WMS, or 3PL can trade clean documents. New to EDI? We walk you through everything from Target paperwork to go‑live.

Supports: Target DC and store programs
Typical migration timeline: 14–21 days from kickoff to first compliant Target shipment

Core documents we support (examples):

• Inbound 850 Purchase Order: Target sends you orders
• Outbound 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment: you confirm quantities and ship dates
• Outbound 856 Advance Ship Notice (ASN): you send shipment and carton details
• Outbound 810 Invoice: you bill Target for shipped orders
• Outbound 860 Purchase Order Change (when required)

Connectivity options: AS2 or SFTP with direct ERP / WMS / 3PL integration, flat files, or APIs

Managed monitoring & alerts: catch late / missing ASNs and invoice mismatches before they become deductions or scorecard hits

How we work with Target

1. Transmission Only (no setup fee)
   We manage connectivity with Target over AS2 or SFTP. You keep internal file handling; we keep documents flowing cleanly to Target without VAN overages.
2. Transmission + Transformation (full integration)
   We map Target’s core documents into and out of your ERP, WMS, TMS, 3PL, etc., via flat file, EDI, or APIs, and maintain the maps when Target changes requirements.
3. Web Portal (no EDI team required)
   Our portal displays Target orders in a non‑EDI layout, lets you build pallets, print labels (FedEx, UPS, GS1 UCC‑128), and generate Target‑compliant shipping paperwork (including what you mentioned for Target / Groupon / Walmart). It then automatically creates and sends ASNs, invoices, PO acknowledgments, and inventory files.

Whether you’re migrating a mature Target program or firing up your first Target PO, there is a clean on‑ramp and an upgrade path.
