EDI
- All drop ship accounts use AS2 communications.
- All EDI documents should be sent to EDI ID 14/6120935509. The ISA15 should contain a T during testing and a P for production.
- Tractor Supply Co has an optional EDI ID of ZZ/6120935509T if a separate test ID is needed. Please communicate this before testing begins.
- The 855 is only processed for full order or line item rejections. Please do not send an 855 to accept our 850. Tractor Supply Co expects 997s within 48 hours.
- The 855 PO1 elements 235 and 234 are not floating. The values need to be in the positions specified in the implementation guideline.
- The 860 will be transmitted if TSC doesn’t receive an accepted 856 within 7 business days of the order being placed. TSC will not send the 860 without communicating with you first. Tractor Supply Co expects a 997 within 48 hours.
- For LTL shipments, the carrier PRO # needs to be populated in the 856 REF*CN segment in the shipment HL loop. THIS IS MANDATORY.
- For UPS shipment, the carrier tracking# needs to be populated in the 856 MAN segment in the package HL Loop.
- The 856 HL Pack is mandatory even if it is an LTL shipment but you do not send the MAN segment. Please send an empty HL*P loop.
- It is the vendor’s responsibility to check their 997 acknowledgement reports in a timely manner. Do not depend on TSC to manually notify you of EDI failures. TSC will send a detail level 997 for all rejections.
- The 856 must be received the same day the shipment ships and before the 810 is transmitted.
- TSC processes the 846 inventory feed twice a day, 5:15am CT and 9:15pm CT. Please plan your extract(s) accordingly. We expect an 846 at least once a day.
- The 846 line item schedule date should be the current day. Tractor Supply Co does not allow back orders.
