Trading Partner: Medline
If you are looking to implement Medline 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
Medline utilizes the following 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/received EDI transaction.
The table, below, lists the most common EDI IDs used by Medline.
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
ZZ | MEDLINE | Yes |
ZZ | MEDLINET | No |
01 | 025460908 | No |
ZZ | PM-MEDLINE-US | No |
Medline 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 Medline to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
Preliminary Steps
In order to begin the EDI setup process, contact Medline directly at [email protected]. Medline will need to be supplied your vendor number and will require their Vendor Form to be completed.
Direct Trading Partner Testing
Medline 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.
