Trading Partner: Cabela's
Article Link: https://help.truecommerce.com/en/articles/16648001-trading-partner-onboarding-cabela-s
Cabela's is a well-known outdoor sporting goods retailer that exchanges order and fulfillment data with their vendors through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Adding Cabela's as a Trading Partner in your network requires completing setup and compliance testing steps before transactions can begin flowing between systems.
Cabela's conducts compliance testing directly with vendors, meaning your setup and certification process is coordinated between the Cabela's EDI team and your TrueCommerce Implementation Specialist — rather than through a third-party testing portal. This article covers the key EDI identification values, preliminary setup steps, commonly used transactions, and what to expect as you move toward Go-Live.
EDI IDs
Cabela'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 EDI transaction that is sent or received.
The table below lists the most common EDI IDs typically used by Cabela's:
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
01 | 3082545505 | Yes |
ZZ | SPSCABELAS | No |
ZZ | TESTCABELASLD | No |
01 | 035000363 | No |
ZZ | TST1CABELASOSR1 | No |
Cabela'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 Cabela's to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
Preliminary Steps
Before TrueCommerce can begin onboarding Cabela's into Transaction Manager, you will need to initiate the EDI setup process directly with Cabela's EDI team.
