Implementation steps

  1. Choose the trading account and channel

    Confirm the supplier or customer account, sender and receiver IDs, test environment and current guide for Amazon DE. Compare other Amazon channels before reusing a mapping.

  2. Map records and assign owners

    Start with sales activity report, inventory report, purchase-order response. For each document, assign the source system, destination record, stable identifiers and person responsible for exceptions. Agree whether a change updates an existing record or creates a new event.

  3. Test a complete exchange

    Run a successful exchange and the failure cases in the mapping table. Track delivery, document validation and processing in your business system separately. Agree on the Amazon production handoff and save the results of each approved test.

  4. Check results after launch

    Match records between systems using product, location and reporting period. Assign an owner to missing responses, duplicates and rejected records. Test recovery before enabling automatic retries.

Go-live checklist

  • The required EDIFACT documents, versions and sample files are agreed.
  • Sender and receiver IDs, test connections and production connections are agreed with the channel owner.
  • Delivery receipts, document validation and business responses have monitoring and a named owner.
  • Tests cover duplicates, partial processing and reconciliation with realistic business records.

How should I choose the Amazon EDI channel?

Amazon DE lists 6 distinct document types. Match the channel to your business unit, account and delivery arrangement; compare the other channel links before choosing a connection. Confirm access and enrollment with the channel owner.

Which identifiers should the Amazon mapping preserve?

For EDIFACT SLSRPT Sales Data Report, plan around product, location and reporting period. For EDIFACT INVRPT Inventory Report, use item, location, quantity qualifier and observation time. Use the partner guide to locate these values and check their allowed formats.

Does a successful EDI receipt mean Amazon accepted the business document?

Track delivery, document validation and business processing separately. An AS2 message disposition notification (MDN) confirms transport receipt; an X12 997 or 999 reports technical validation. Use the agreed business response or reconciliation report to confirm that the order, shipment or invoice was processed.

What should be tested before launching Amazon DE EDI?

Keep returned units separate from gross sales. Replace a corrected reporting period without doubling reported revenue or units. Also test missing responses and recovery after a destination failure. Assign an owner to each failure and obtain partner approval before launch.
