Interchange IDs


APIServicesAU utilizes the following EDIFACT Interchange IDs for identification purposes. These EDIFACT Interchange IDs are made up of a Qualifier and an ID which will be sent within their INB Segment on your inbound transactions. This allows Transaction Manager to be able to identify the Sender and Receiver of any EDIFACT transaction that is sent or received.

The table, below, lists the most common Interchange IDs used by APIServicesAU.​

APIServicesAU will expect a specific Interchange ID based on your business relationship with them. Selecting the wrong Interchange ID will result in EDI Transactions not being sent or received.

You will need to work with APIServicesAU to determine the proper Interchange ID to use.


Preliminary Steps

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].
