Home Depot has launched a new connection hub called Home Depot Special Order Program which will require its own new ePortal connection. Customers currently trading HD special products using Home Depot EDI will need to add a new trading partner. This is because it requires new mapping which may involve additional implementation costs. The cost will be different for every customer and is dependent on how may maps are necessary.
Home Depot sent eBridge three different implementation PDF’s with information outlining the changes that need to be made. If anyone would like a copy of the Home Depot Special Order Program EDI information, please contact your eBridge representative or email me pvanasseldonk@ebridgeconnections.com and I’ll be sure to forward the information to you. Below are the introductory paragraphs to the EDI maps that need to be changed:
856 Ship Notice/Manifest: This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Ship Notice/Manifest Transaction Set (856) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to list the contents of a shipment of goods as well as additional information relating to the shipment, such as order information, product description, physical characteristics, type of packaging, marking, carrier information, and configuration of goods within the transportation equipment. The transaction set enables the sender to describe the contents and configuration of a shipment in various levels of detail and provides an ordered flexibility to convey information. The sender of this transaction is the organization responsible for detailing and communicating the contents of a shipment, or shipments, to one or more receivers of the transaction set. The receiver of this transaction set can be any organization having an interest in the contents of a shipment or information about the contents of a shipment. 810 Invoice: This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Invoice Transaction Set (810) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide for customary and established business and industry practice relative to the billing for goods and services provided. 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgement: This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Purchase Order Acknowledgment Transaction Set (855) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide for customary and established business and industry practice relative to a seller’s acknowledgment of a buyer’s purchase order. This transaction set can also be used as notification of a vendor generated order. This usage advises a buyer that a vendor has or will ship merchandise as prearranged in their partnership.
This is an email we received from one of our customers today and wanted to share this information to other EDI customers who are connected to Target Canada. The email read:
We have recently updated our 850 and 860 Domestic EDI Implementation Guides with the following: Added optional segments: N1 ST header level – 850 and 860 Domestic N1 BG header level – 850 and 860 Domestic Clarified usage of this data segment: PO4 01 and 14 – 850, 860 Domestic Edits were made to the 850 and 860. The latest Implementation Guides are available on the NCM website and are also posted on the Canada POL supplier portal . Please make sure you have the most recent copy of each applicable guide and are prepared to handle these changes as they will take effect on Monday, March 4th, 2013.

Web Store Integration – Essential For Online Success
With online shopping firmly entrenched as a standard method for consumers to purchase goods and services, a company’s Webstore is an essential component in achieving success and strong growth in Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B) e-commerce environments.
In order to achieve the maximum potential of a Web Store, it is paramount that an organization integrates with their accounting system. This would result in taking advantage of two-way, real-time information flow between the two systems. Not integrating could result in the following drawbacks (AppFinity, 2009):
Staff wastes a lot of time updating items, prices and on-hand quantities in your Web Store to match with your account systems inventory data.
Staff must re-enter orders from your Web Store into your in-house accounting system.
Customers can’t update their company information online such as billing, shipping address, phone and email
Customers can’t track the shipping status of their order
Furthermore, with the eBridge Webstore Integration Solution, organizations would not have to worry about making any changes to their Web site. By streamlining the information flow in a business’s B2C and B2B e-commerce systems, the eBridge Webstore Integration Solution provides an essential component in a company’s strategy to achieve higher productivity.
