What is True Value EDI?

True Value EDI is the standardized electronic exchange of procurement and fulfillment documents between a construction materials supplier and True Value’s retail cooperative network. It enforces strict AS2-based compliance with X12 transaction sets to automate order-to-invoice workflows, ensuring real-time inventory visibility and shipment accuracy within a high-volume, deadline-driven supply chain.

  • Pre-validate carton-level barcode labels against ASN before transmission

  • Synchronize purchase order acknowledgments directly with ERP without data re-keying

  • Maintain AS2 connectivity with automated resends and MDN tracking for document integrity

True Value EDI Key TakeAway

True Value EDI readiness: Key Takeaways

Label–ASN alignment prevents chargebacks

ERP-synced 855 avoids order discrepancies

AS2 stability ensures on-time delivery

Operational Focus

Where True Value compliance usually gets stuck?

Most compliance issues happen when physical labeling and EDI mapping are handled separately.

01

Why do carton labels often mismatch the ASN?

Manual label printing without real-time ASN data leads to SSCC–GS1 discrepancies and immediate shipment rejections.

02

How does thin ERP integration delay order processing?

Disconnected 855 acknowledgments cause stock allocation errors, forcing manual corrections and missed ship windows.

03

What AS2 configuration pitfalls cause document failures?

Incorrect certificate exchange or missing MDN monitoring stops transmission, blocking the entire purchase order life cycle.

label and ASN readiness

Keep barcode, carton, ASN, and invoice data aligned.

Barcode labels and packing slips must duplicate the ASN’s carton hierarchy, or True Value will reject the entire shipment.

01

SSCC validation before print

Our system generates SSCC-18 from the ASN and locks it to prevent manual entry errors.

02

Carton-to-item mapping

Each carton label lists only items and quantities confirmed in the 856, ensuring pack consistency.

03

Packing slip synchronization

Packing slips are auto-filled from the same source data, so paperwork matches physical cartons.

04

GS1-128 label compliance

Labels include all application identifiers demanded by True Value’s routing guide, avoiding fines.
