-
Choose the starting event and owner
Decide which application acts when trading-party or location relationships change. Name the operational owner of the organization and location hierarchy and the team that resolves rejected or ambiguous messages.
-
Keep record IDs connected
Map organization, location and parent references. Confirm qualifiers, code lists, units and date/time meaning against the agreed X12 version and Dillard's Department Stores, Inc. guide. Preserve the source reference alongside any new destination identifier.
-
Test failures before launch
Run the failure cases in the mapping table against realistic organization and location hierarchy 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 organization and location hierarchy processing. Give unresolved errors an owner and check the receiving system before approving retries.
