Choose the starting event and owner
Decide which application acts when a return is requested, authorized or notified. Name the operational owner of the return authorization and the team that resolves rejected or ambiguous messages.
-
Keep record IDs connected
Map return authorization, original order and returned item. Confirm qualifiers, code lists, units and date/time meaning against the agreed X12 version and HD Supply Holdings, 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 return authorization data. Check how the receiving system reports a rejection and how your team corrects it without creating a duplicate.
