EDI 832: Product Catalog Pricing

Having up-to-date pricing is absolutely critical for product retailers; it’s how they can make sure that sales are profitable, that they’re charging enough in sales taxes, and what kinds of discounts they can offer their customers. To provide buyers with up-to-date product and price information, the EDI 832 price/sales catalog document – also known as PRICAT or X12 832 – was created to provide a full catalog of products and pricing electronically, rather than via hard copy.

To be able to send or receive the EDI 832 documents, your company must adopt the Electronic Data Interchange and integrate it as needed. Effective Data, the industry’s leading provider of EDI products and solutions, offers a complete range of EDI solutions to fit any company’s budget and integration requirements.
