Implementation steps
-
Choose the starting event and owner
Decide which application acts when goods are ready for the agreed shipment notification. Name the operational owner of the despatch advice and the team that resolves rejected or ambiguous messages.
-
Keep record IDs connected
Map shipment, order, packaging and item identifiers. Confirm qualifiers, code lists, units and date/time meaning against the agreed EDIFACT version and Amazon guide. Preserve the source reference alongside any new destination identifier.
-
Test failures before launch
Run the failure cases in the mapping table against realistic despatch advice data. Check how the receiving system reports a rejection and how your team corrects it without creating a duplicate.
-
Track every document to completion
Record transport delivery and document validation separately from successful despatch advice processing. Give unresolved errors an owner and check the receiving system before approving retries.
