Map records and assign owners

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 Giant Eagle production handoff and save the results of each approved test.

Check results after launch
Match records between systems using shipment, order, package and item references. Assign an owner to missing responses, duplicates and rejected records. Test recovery before enabling automatic retries.

Also test missing responses and recovery after a destination failure. Assign an owner to each failure and obtain partner approval before launch.
