Implementation steps
-
Choose the trading account and channel
Choose among BASF. Confirm the business unit and account before copying a mapping from another channel.
-
Map records and assign owners
Start with forwarding and consolidation summary, transport booking confirmation, transport booking request. 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.
-
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 BASF production handoff and save the results of each approved test.
-
Check results after launch
Match records between systems using consolidation reference and component consignment identifiers. Assign an owner to missing responses, duplicates and rejected records. Test recovery before enabling automatic retries.
Go-live checklist

- 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.

Which identifiers should the BASF mapping preserve?

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

What should be tested before launching BASF EDI?
Reconcile group totals without losing individual consignment references. Remove one consignment from a consolidation without deleting unrelated consignments. Also test missing responses and recovery after a destination failure. Assign an owner to each failure and obtain partner approval before launch.
