Supply Lens automates the full Etos document cycle. Purchase orders in, application acknowledgements back, despatch advice and invoices out, all transmitted directly and mapped to your ERP or IMS with the right location codes, supplier IDs and Etos tolerance rules built in.
Etos runs a richer EDI cycle than most UK retailers ask for: orders in, application acknowledgements back, despatch advice on shipment, invoice on completion. The work is in keeping those four messages aligned to the same PO, the same supplier code, the same location and the same agreed price. Supply Lens is configured for every rule Etos enforces.
Etos receives EDI through a direct point-to-point AS2 connection. Supply Lens manages the certificates, the partner profile and the gateway on your behalf, so you don't need your own AS2 setup, B2B gateway or trading partner agreement to maintain.
Etos runs a richer flow than UK retail typically demands: orders in, application acknowledgements back, despatch advice and invoice out. Supply Lens generates and parses every EDIFACT structure correctly so the format is invisible from your ERP's point of view.
Etos identifies products by GS1 EAN and an internal article reference. Supply Lens maintains a cross-reference table mapping both to your own item codes, so the PO lands correctly in your ERP regardless of which identifier Etos sends.
Etos applies strict invoice matching on price and quantity. Supply Lens validates the invoice against the originating PO and your agreed cost list before transmission, flagging any discrepancy for review rather than sending it and risking a deduction later.
Each Etos PO names a destination DC by code. Supply Lens maps every active Etos location to the correct routing in your warehouse system, so the order lands against the right depot in your ERP without manual intervention.
Etos expects the DESADV before goods arrive at the destination, not after. Supply Lens triggers despatch advice the moment your warehouse confirms the load is despatched, so the ASN consistently lands inside Etos's expected window with the matching PO reference.
Supply Lens handles the full Etos document set inbound and outbound, so nothing is ever manually produced, rekeyed or sent late.
Supply Lens holds Etos's rules and the AS2 connection so you don't have to. Your team provides credentials, product mappings and the agreed cost list. Everything else lives in the Supply Lens layer.
Your Etos supplier code, GLN and trading partner profile registered with Etos's gateway. Supply Lens manages the AS2 station IDs and certificates, no setup needed your side.
Etos EANs and article references mapped to your item codes. Pack-size variants, promotional lines and multi-pack SKUs handled cleanly without manual maintenance.
Each Etos DC code mapped to your correct warehouse, customer account or entity in your ERP, so orders route cleanly to the right despatch point on receipt.
Your agreed Etos cost list registered for invoice validation. Tolerance rules applied per supplier agreement, so price discrepancies surface your side first.
Supply Lens handles the scenarios that typically cause invoice rejections, deductions or document mismatches in the Etos flow.
APERAK generation is handled in the Supply Lens layer, not your ERP. When an order is accepted or queried Supply Lens builds the APERAK and returns it inside Etos's expected window, with the right reference back to the originating ORDERS message. Your ERP never has to learn EDIFACT.
DESADV and INVOIC are both generated against the same originating ORDERS reference and the same despatch event in your ERP. Quantities, line totals and PO numbers stay aligned by construction, so Etos sees a consistent ASN and invoice for every shipment.
Invoice values are validated against the originating PO and your agreed Etos cost list before submission. Discrepancies are flagged before the INVOIC is sent, giving your team a chance to correct or query rather than receive an Etos deduction weeks later.
Unrecognised EANs go to an exception queue immediately. The PO is held, your team is notified with the full Etos context, the mapping is added and the order is re-triggered. No silent drop, no late invoice, no missed delivery window.
Etos EDI onboarding involves their supplier team, the AS2 partner setup and your internal product and pricing data. Supply Lens manages the configuration, the gateway and the format conversion. You provide the inputs.
