Trading Partner: Lids
EDI IDs
Lids 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 Lids:
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
12 | 3173349428 | Yes |
12 | 3173349428T | No |
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Lids 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 Lids to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
Preliminary Steps
Before TrueCommerce is able to begin onboarding Lids into Transaction Manager, you will need to perform the following actions to kick off your Trading Partner Implementation Project:
Lids requires testing to be conducted through the OpenText testing portal.
Email the Lids team at [email protected] for assistance with obtaining access to the testing portal.
TrueCommerce will collaborate with your team to obtain any company-specific details that are needed for this phase of the implementation.
Portal Testing
Lids requires you to complete compliance testing before Go-Live. Refer to the Next Steps section of this article for detailed instructions and expectations. If you prefer, TrueCommerce can conduct and complete compliance testing on your behalf. If so, provide the following information:
URL for the OpenText testing portal
Username for the OpenText testing portal
Password for the OpenText testing portal
Commonly-Used Transactions

Next Steps
Once the purchase of the Lids plug-in is complete, your Implementation Specialist will reach out to schedule time to complete and/or coordinate a plan for compliance testing and/or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system integration testing.
