Trading Partner: Kohl's


If you are looking to implement Kohl's as a new Trading Partner within your Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) network, this article will provide you with an understanding of the requirements, preliminary and next steps, as well as commonly used transaction types.


EDI IDs


Kohl's utilizes the following EDI IDs for identification purposes. These EDI IDs are made up of a Qualifier and an ID which will be sent within their Interchange Control Header, ISA segment, on your inbound transactions. This allows Transaction Manager to be able to identify the Sender and Receiver of any sent/received EDI transaction.

The table, below, lists the most common EDI IDs used by Kohl's.

Kohl's will expect a specific EDI ID based on your business relationship with them. Selecting the wrong EDI ID will result in EDI Transactions not being sent or received.

You will need to work with Kohl's to determine the proper EDI ID to use.


Preliminary Steps


Before TrueCommerce is able to begin onboarding Kohl's into Transaction Manager, you will need to perform the following action to kick off your Trading Partner Implementation Project:

  • Email the following address and request to test and/or begin the onboarding process at [email protected]


Portal Testing


Kohl's requires that compliance testing be completed through the third-party testing site, Orderful. After contacting Kohl's to set up an EDI relationship, their team will coordinate with Orderful to start EDI testing.
