Trading Partner: Certco
If you are looking to implement Certco as a new Trading Partner within your Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) network, this article will provide you with an understanding of the requirements, preliminary and next steps, as well as commonly used transaction types.
EDI IDs
Certco utilizes the following EDI ID for identification purposes. This EDI ID is 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/received EDI transaction.
The table, below, lists the most common EDI ID used by Certco.
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
08 | 9285430000 | Yes |
Certco 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 Certco to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
Preliminary Steps
Certco partners with a third-party testing portal, EDICT Systems, to host the EDI testing. Your organization will need to gain access to the testing portal by contacting EDICT Systems directly.
Portal Testing
Certco requires you to complete compliance testing before Go-Live. Refer to the Next Steps section in this article for detailed instructions and expectations. If you prefer, TrueCommerce can conduct and complete compliance testing within the EDICT portal on your behalf.
Commonly Used Transactions
