EDI IDs

TopCo Associates utilizes the following Electronic Data Interchange (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 EDI transaction that is sent or received.

Below is the list of the most common EDI ID typically used by TopCo Associates:
