Trading Partner: Boot Barn
Article Link: https://help.truecommerce.com/en/articles/16101072-trading-partner-onboarding-boot-barn
Boot Barn is a Western and work-related lifestyle retailer that participates in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to exchange business documents with their suppliers. Adding Boot Barn as a Trading Partner within Transaction Manager allows you to send and receive EDI transactions — such as Purchase Orders, invoices, and shipment confirmations — directly between your system and Boot Barn.
Before going live with Boot Barn, there are a few requirements and preliminary actions needed to get your implementation project underway. This article covers the EDI IDs used by Boot Barn, steps to kick off your project, compliance testing expectations, commonly used transactions, and what to expect from your Implementation Specialist.
EDI IDs
Boot Barn utilizes the following Electronic Data Interchange (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 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 Boot Barn:
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
ZZ | BOOTBARN | Yes |
Boot Barn 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 Boot Barn directly to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
Preliminary Steps
Before TrueCommerce is able to begin onboarding Boot Barn into Transaction Manager, you will need to perform the following action to kick off your Boot Barn Implementation Project:
Confirm how orders are shipped: parcel or pallet, single or mixed SKUs?
Direct Trading Partner Testing
Boot Barn requires you to complete compliance testing before Go-Live. Compliance testing validates that your EDI transactions meet Boot Barn's formatting and data requirements prior to exchanging live documents.
If you prefer, TrueCommerce can conduct and complete compliance testing on your behalf. Contact your Implementation Specialist to arrange this. Once testing is complete and approved by Boot Barn, your account will be cleared for Go-Live.
