Artist and Craftsman Supply uses a third-party company, SPS Commerce, to conduct Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) compliance testing on their behalf. Before going live, you will need to complete setup and testing through the SPS Commerce Testing & Certification portal.
Below you will find the EDI identification requirements, Preliminary Steps for portal access, commonly used transaction types, and what to expect from your Implementation Specialist once your plug-in purchase is complete.
EDI IDs
Artist and Craftsman Supply 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 sent/received EDI transaction.
Below is a list of the most common EDI IDs typically used by Artist and Craftsman Supply:
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
ZZ | TST1ARTISTCRAFT | Yes |
ZZ | ARTISTCRAFTSMAN | No |
