Trading Partner: Walgreens


EDI IDs


Walgreens utilizes the following Electronic Data Interface (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 EDI transaction that is sent or received.

Below is a list of the most common EDI IDs typically used by Walgreens:

Walgreens 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 Walgreens to determine the proper EDI ID to use.


Preliminary Steps


Walgreens 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.

The contact email is: [email protected].

  • Login - To the online portal once access is granted

  • Navigate - To Testing & Certification

  • Select - Dashboard

  • Select - Walgreens from the Active tab on the Dashboard to begin the testing process

  • Review - Acknowledge the EDI Specifications

  • Enter - Test setup details include:

    • Connection Method type: VAN

    • VAN Name: TrueCommerce

  • Enter - Test transaction details and test transaction item details


Portal Testing


Walgreens 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


  • Invoice (810)

  • Purchase Order (850)

  • Advanced Shipping Notice (856)

  • Purchase Order Change Request (860)

  • Order Status Report (861)

  • Receiving Advice/Acceptance Certificate (870)


Next Steps


  • Once the purchase of the new Walgreens plug-in is complete, your Implementation Specialist will reach out to schedule time to complete and/or coordinate a plan for testing.

  • Review all steps in the SPS Testing & Certification portal, as each step will require information to be entered before testing can proceed. If you need any assistance in completing Steps 2 and 3, you can work with your assigned Implementation Specialist.
