EDI-832
Price/Sales Catalog

What is an EDI 832?

EDI 832, also known as a Price/Sales Catalog, is an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transaction set used by manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors to share up-to-date product and pricing information with their trading partners.

Instead of relying on printed catalogs or manual updates, EDI 832 provides a digital, standardized format for exchanging complete product listings, including pricing, descriptions, and promotional details. It is typically sent on a scheduled basis—for example, quarterly—or whenever there are pricing changes, new product launches, or updated availability.

EDI 832 transactions follow the ANSI X12 EDI standard, maintained by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), ensuring that the data format is consistent, accurate, and universally understood across supply chains in the United States.

Key Components of EDI 832

Identifies the catalog version and when it was sent to partners.

Supplier Identification 

Name, address, and contact details of the supplier providing the catalog.

Product Identifiers

Unique product codes such as SKU, UPC, EAN, or GTIN for accurate identification.

Promotional Details 

Any discounts, bundle offers, or limited-time deals included in the catalog.

Item Descriptions

Physical and descriptive details such as size, weight, dimensions, color, and material.

The cost per unit, including tiered or bulk pricing if applicable.
