Trading Partner: Best Buy
Article link:
If you are looking to implement Best Buy as a new Trading Partner within your Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) network, this article will provide you with an understanding of the requirements, preliminary and next steps, as well as commonly used transaction types.
EDI IDs
Best Buy 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.
The table, below, lists the most common EDI IDs used by Best Buy:
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
ZZ | 0600603000003 | Yes |
01 | 023058159 | No |
ZZ | 0600603000003A | No |
Best Buy 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 Best Buy to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
Preliminary Steps
Best Buy vendors will be invited to begin EDI onboarding by the Best Buy EDI team. The EDI setup process will only occur after this invitation is sent by the Best Buy EDI team and will contain details around the onboarding process.
Test Exempt Relationship
EDI Compliance testing is not required by Best Buy. Once the EDI relationship is setup, live Purchase Orders will be issued by Best Buy.
