Trading Partner: Curacao SPS


EDI IDs


Curacao SPS 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 Curacao SPS:

X12 Qualifier

EDI ID

Primary ID?

ZZ

CURACAO

Yes

ZZ

TST1CURACAOXXXX

No

Curacao SPS 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 Curacao SPS to determine the proper EDI ID to use.


Preliminary Steps


Curacao SPS 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].
