Trading Partner: Jobbers Automotive Warehouse
Article Link: https://help.truecommerce.com/en/articles/18333435-trading-partner-onboarding-jobbers-automotive-warehouse
Jobbers Automotive Warehouse is an automotive parts distributor that exchanges order and fulfillment data with their vendors through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) — a standardized method for exchanging business documents electronically. Adding Jobbers Automotive Warehouse as a Trading Partner in your network requires completing EDI setup, compliance testing, and portal certification steps before transactions can begin flowing between systems.
Jobbers Automotive Warehouse uses SPS Commerce, a third-party compliance testing service, to manage certification on their behalf. Ensuring the correct EDI ID is configured, and all SPS Commerce testing steps are completed will allow for a smooth Go-Live experience.
EDI IDs
Jobbers Automotive Warehouse 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 Jobbers Automotive Warehouse:
X12 Qualifier | EDI ID | Primary ID? |
ZZ | JOBAUTOGCOMM | Yes |
ZZ | TST1JOBBERSWARE | No |
ZZ | JOBBERSWAREHOUS | No |
Jobbers Automotive Warehouse 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 Jobbers Automotive Warehouse to determine the proper EDI ID to use.
