EDI IDs


McLane utilizes the following Electronic Data Interface (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.

Below is a list of the most common EDI IDs typically used by McLane:

X12 Qualifier

EDI ID

Primary ID?

01

009830555

Yes

07

0083967000016

No

McLane 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 McLane to determine the proper EDI ID to use.


Preliminary Steps


McLane will invite vendors to their EDI program, via an email from [email protected] . A vendor number is required to establish an EDI relationship with McLane.

In order to move forward with the EDI setup, McLane will need confirmation on the below:

  1. Your company is EDI and AS2 Capable: this is correct

  2. Transactions to exchange: The options are either 875, 880, 856 or 850, 810, 856.


Direct Trading Partner Testing


McLane requires you to complete compliance testing before Go-Live. Please refer to the below Next Steps section for detailed instructions and expectations. If you prefer, TrueCommerce can conduct and complete compliance testing on your behalf.
