Trading Partner: HomeGoods
Article link:
HomeGoods is a division of TJX Companies, Inc. that includes TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods. HomeGoods is a leading off-price home furnishings and décor retailer 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 HomeGoods connection.
TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Marshalls follow the same onboarding process.
EDI IDs
HomeGoods 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 EDI transaction that is sent or received.
The table, below, lists the most common EDI IDs used by HomeGoods:
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
ZZ | HOMEGOODS | Yes |
ZZ | HOMEGOODSAS2 | No |
HomeGoods 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 HomeGoods to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
Preliminary Steps
Before TrueCommerce is able to begin onboarding HomeGoods into Transaction Manager, you will need to perform the following actions to kick off your HomeGoods Implementation Project:
Confirm your EDI connectivity details, ISA IDs, and transaction specifications with TJX directly.
Contact the TJX ASN onboarding team to request initiation of the EDI setup process, cc the assigned TrueCommerce Implementation Specialist on all outgoing communications with TJX.
Gather any required EDI specification documents provided by TJX, as these will be needed by your Implementation Specialist during onboarding.
Once these preliminary steps are complete, your HomeGoods Implementation Project will be ready to proceed to the Portal Testing phase.
Portal Testing
HomeGoods requires you to complete compliance testing before Go-Live. Testing is hosted on the DiCentral testing portal. Refer to the Next Steps section, below, for detailed instructions and expectations.
