Construction
EDI for general contractors, subcontractors, and building materials suppliers.
Construction EDI is growing — major general contractors and building materials retailers increasingly mandate EDI for purchase orders, invoicing, and catalog management. x12port gives contractors and suppliers the tools to exchange 850 POs, 855 acknowledgments, 810 invoices, and 840/843 Request for Quotes without expensive middleware or consultant-driven implementations.

Transaction Sets
X12 documents for Construction
850
Purchase Order
General contractor or owner issues a PO to subcontractor or materials supplier — the standard way to initiate a material or subcontract order.
855
PO Acknowledgment
Supplier confirms they can fulfill the order with the specified materials, quantities, and delivery schedule.
810
Invoice
Supplier or subcontractor submits an electronic invoice tied to the original PO — enabling faster approval and payment.
840
Request for Quotation
Buyer formally requests pricing for materials or subcontract work before issuing a purchase order.
843
Response to Request for Quotation
Supplier responds to an RFQ with pricing, lead time, and availability — creating a clear, trackable bid record.
997
Functional ACK
Confirms receipt and validity of every EDI document — required by most large GC and retail home improvement chains.
Why x12port
Built for Construction
Faster invoice approval and payment
Electronic 810 invoices tied to a PO and approval chain process 3x faster than paper — reducing disputes and improving cash flow for subcontractors and suppliers.
Clear RFQ and bid tracking
The 840/843 RFQ cycle gives contractors and suppliers a structured, auditable record of every bid request and response — replacing email chains and spreadsheets.
No expensive middleware required
Home improvement retailers, national GCs, and lumber distributors increasingly mandate EDI. x12port lets you onboard to those requirements without a $50,000 implementation.
Manage multiple project owners
Different GCs and owners have different ISA/GS envelope settings and document requirements. x12port keeps every customer's EDI configuration separated — no crossing of wires.
