Network onboarding

Big Lots Stores Inc. (Transportation) (via Manhattan Associates) is routed through Manhattan Associates

Stacksync maintains a certified Manhattan Associates connection covering 16 trading partners across 17 channels. Onboarding with Big Lots on this channel reuses that connection — no separate VAN contract or certification cycle.

Manhattan Associates is a supply chain software vendor, not a traditional VAN; its Manhattan Active Transportation Management TMS is what large shippers use to plan, tender, track, and settle freight. Partners that appear behind this gateway are exchanging transportation documents, 204 load tenders, 990 tender responses, 214 shipment statuses, and 210 freight invoices, with a shipper's Manhattan TMS instance. Manhattan also offers a pre-built carrier network intended to simplify carrier onboarding for its shipper customers.

Connecting via Manhattan Associates
  1. Obtain the shipper's EDI implementation guide and trading partner identifiers for its Manhattan TMS instance; there is no public Manhattan-wide supplier program.
  2. Establish connectivity on the shipper's terms, commonly a direct AS2 or SFTP connection or a VAN interconnect handled by the shipper's integration team.
  3. Map the transportation document set (204, 990, 214, 210) to the shipper's specification, including status and reason codes.
  4. Complete the shipper's test cycle, typically an end-to-end tender, response, status, and invoice loop, before production cutover.

Testing: Manhattan Associates does not publish a public certification program for trading partners; testing is defined per shipper implementation. A typical acceptance cycle exercises the full tender-to-invoice loop (204, 990, 214, 210) against the shipper's Manhattan TMS test environment before go-live.

Timeline: No reliable public timeline exists. Setup length is set by the shipper's project plan; carrier EDI integrations of this type commonly run from a few weeks to a few months depending on mapping complexity and test scheduling.
