Trading Partner: TJ Maxx


TJ Maxx 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 TJ Maxx connection.

HomeGoods and Marshalls follow the same onboarding process.


EDI IDs


TJ Maxx 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 be able 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 TJ Maxx:

TJ Maxx 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 TJ Maxx to determine the proper EDI ID to use.


Preliminary Steps


Before TrueCommerce is able to begin onboarding TJ Maxx into Transaction Manager, you will need to perform the following actions to kick off your TJ Maxx Implementation Project:

  • Email: [email protected] with the subject: [Vendor Name] – TJX New Connection Request

  • Follow: the TJX Compliance Registration Guide to complete your portal registration and ensure all required steps are completed prior to compliance testing, including registering for testing on the DiCentral testing portal (DiCentral is a third-party EDI compliance testing platform used by TJ Maxx to validate EDI transactions prior to Go-Live).

  • Once these preliminary steps are complete, your TJ Maxx Implementation Project will be ready to proceed to the Portal Testing phase.

ALL vendors are required to register with Transcepta (a third-party electronic invoicing network) to enable electronic invoice submission.


Portal Testing


TJ Maxx requires you to complete compliance testing before Go-Live. Testing is hosted on the DiCentral testing portal. Please refer to the below Next Steps section for detailed instructions and expectations. If you prefer, TrueCommerce can conduct and complete compliance testing on your behalf.

If so, please provide the following information:

  • URL for the DiCentral testing portal

  • Username for the DiCentral testing portal

  • Password for the DiCentral testing portal
