EDI IDs


Boscov's 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 Boscov's:

X12 Qualifier

EDI ID

Primary ID?

01

014492501

BOS850

Boscov's 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 Boscov's to determine the proper EDI ID to use.


Preliminary Steps
