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.

What is an EDI 855 Document?

The Purchase Order Acknowledgement or 855 is an EDI document sent by the vendor or Trading Partner to the customer to acknowledge the details of the Purchase Order or 850 that was received. If terms of the purchase order cannot be met then this document can also be used to provide the details of the changes to the order that the vendor needed to make (for example an item ordered is out of stock and cannot be shipped or the delivery date cannot be met).

The types of changes that need to be recorded on the 855 vary by EDI trading partner. The changes are denoted on each line item by a change code.

Common 855 Change Codes

• DR  Item Accepted – Date Rescheduled
• IA  Item Accepted
• IB  Item Backordered
• ID  Item Deleted  (Use to indicate Item is being Discontinued)
• IP  Item Accepted – Price Changed
• IQ  Item Accepted – Quantity Changed
• IR  Item Rejected

On the week of December 14^th, 2009, eBridge announced that they have created a new Hayneedle EDI connection. Hayneedle.com includes 220 stores and counting, each devoted to a single product category. Best of all, you can shop all of them with one global shopping cart. From hammocks at hammocks.com to dart boards at – you guessed it – dartboards.com, Hayneedle dives deeply into selection; each store showcases true variety. Unlike brick and mortar retail stores that are limited by shelf space, Hayneedle has virtually endless space. This allows our buyers to search the globe for the finest selection, best value, and unparalleled choices in products for your home, work, and play. Where you might see eight or nine styles of bar stools at a retail store, our bar stool site features over 900 styles. And the five or six patio furniture sets at the local garden store? Try 200 at patiofurnitureusa.com.

New Pep Boys Connection

     On the week of November 30 to December 7^th, 2009, eBridge announced that they have created a new Pep Boys EDI connection. In 1921, four Navy buddies pooled together $800 to open a single auto parts supply store in Philadelphia. This venture would go on to become the multi-billion dollar nationwide retails and service chain that is known as Pep Boys today. With over 560 stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, the Company has come a long way from its humble beginnings.
