Marshalls is a division of TJX Companies, Inc. that includes TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods. Marshalls is a leading off-price retail Trading Partner whose Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) implementation requires completing specific registration, setup, and compliance testing steps before going live. Understanding these requirements ahead of time ensures a smooth and timely implementation.
Below you will find the EDI identification details, preliminary steps, portal testing requirements, commonly used transaction types, and next steps for establishing your Marshalls connection.
TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Marshalls follow the same onboarding process.
EDI IDs
Marshalls 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 EDI transaction that is sent or received.
The table, below, lists the most common EDI IDs used by Marshalls.
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
ZZ | MARSHALLSAS2 | Yes |
Marshalls 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 Marshalls to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
Preliminary Steps
Before TrueCommerce is able to begin onboarding Marshalls into Transaction Manager, you will need to perform the following actions to kick off your Marshalls Implementation Project:
Confirm your EDI connectivity details, ISA IDs, and transaction specifications with TJX directly.
Contact the TJX ASN onboarding team to request initiation of the EDI setup process, cc the assigned TrueCommerce Implementation Specialist on all outgoing communications with TJX.
Gather any required EDI specification documents provided by TJX, as these will be needed by your Implementation Specialist during onboarding.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, your Marshalls Implementation Project will be ready to proceed to the Portal Testing phase
Portal Testing
Marshalls requires you to complete compliance testing before Go-Live. Testing is hosted on the DiCentral testing portal. Refer to the Next Steps section, below, for detailed instructions and expectations.
If you prefer, TrueCommerce can conduct and complete compliance testing on your behalf and you will need to provide the following information:
URL for the DiCentral testing portal
Username for the DiCentral testing portal
Password for the DiCentral testing portal
