EDI IDs


United Hardware utilizes the following Electronic Data Interchange (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 enables Transaction Manager to identify the Sender and Receiver of any sent/received EDI transaction.

The following table lists the most common EDI IDs used by United Hardware.

United Hardware 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 United Hardware to determine the proper EDI ID to use.


Preliminary Steps


United Hardware uses a third-party company, SPS Commerce, to conduct compliance testing on their behalf. Be sure to engage with your SPS Commerce Account Representative to ensure your testing agreement has been signed and you have access to the SPS Commerce Testing & Certification portal.


Portal Testing


United Hardware requires you to complete compliance testing before Go-Live. Refer to the Next Steps section, below, for detailed instructions and expectations. If preferred, TrueCommerce can conduct and complete compliance testing on your behalf. In that case, provide the following details:

  • URL for the SPS Commerce portal

  • Username for the SPS Commerce portal

  • Password for the SPS Commerce portal


Commonly Used Transactions



Next Steps


Once the purchase of United Hardware is complete, your Implementation Specialist will reach out to schedule time to complete and / or coordinate a test plan.

Access to the SPS testing portal must be completed in order to begin EDI testing with your Implementation Specialist.

Please review our helpful guide on ensuring your testing portal is ready to start EDI testing.
