Trading Partner: Rally House
Article link: https://help.truecommerce.com/en/articles/16202363-trading-partner-onboarding-rally-house
Rally House is a sports-licensed retailer that uses Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for order management and fulfillment with their vendor partners. Adding Rally House as a Trading Partner within your EDI network requires completing compliance testing through SPS Commerce before your connection can go live.
EDI IDs
Rally House 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 sent/received EDI transaction.
The table, below, lists the most common EDI IDs used by Rally House.
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
ZZ | TST1RALLYHOUSE | Yes |
RALLYHOUSE | RALLYHOUSE | No |
Rally House 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 Rally House to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
