The SPS Commerce Implementation team provides ISA and GS IDs as part of connection setup. These are not available prior to project setup. A contract must be signed with your SPS Account Executive before the implementation team sets up the connection.

ISA Qualifier: specifies the type of identifier used (e.g., 08 for UCC EDI, 01 for DUNS number, ZZ for mutually defined, 12 for telephone number).

ISA ID: unique identifier for the sender or receiver of the EDI document.

GS ID: used in the functional group header to group related transactions. When two trading partners share the same ISA qualifier and ID, the GS-level IDs route documents correctly.

ISA/GS IDs are not universal and differ by trading partner. Always verify the specific values for each connection.

Some identifiers (e.g., Location IDs / Ship To location IDs) are not maintained by SPS Commerce. These identifiers are often included on orders, but if not, you will want to contact the trading partner to confirm the location IDs.

WebEDI: if you are using the SPS Fulfilment Portal with an existing web project, your connection method is WebEDI.

Value-Added Network (VAN): when completing onboarding documentation, list SPS Commerce as a VAN if asked to specify connection type.
