Implementation steps

  2. Map records and assign owners

    Start with purchase-order response, buyer order-change request, accounts-receivable or accounts-payable invoice. 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.

  3. 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 Performance Food Group (PFG) production handoff and save the results of each approved test.

  4. Check results after launch

    Match records between systems using original purchase order, response revision and order line. Assign an owner to missing responses, duplicates and rejected records. Test recovery before enabling automatic retries.

  • 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.
