Trading Partner: Crate & Barrel


EDI IDs


Crate & Barrel 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 allows Transaction Manager to be able to identify the Sender and Receiver of any sent or received EDI transaction.

The table below lists the most common EDI IDs used by Crate & Barrel:

X12 Qualifier

EDI ID

Primary ID?

12

8472722888

Yes

ZZ

8472722888T

No

ZZ

CRATENCM

No

12

8472722888T

No


Crate & Barrel 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 Crate & Barrel to determine the proper EDI ID to use.


Preliminary Steps


Before TrueCommerce is able to begin onboarding Crate & Barrel into Transaction Manager, you will need to perform the following actions to kick off your Trading Partner Implementation Project:
