delivery reference, store and item

  • Define which combination of delivery reference, store and item identifies one business record, its lines and any later revision.
Update the receiving system Processing the delivery or return base record

ID assigned by the receiving system and processing result

  • Separate returned units from delivered units when calculating the net quantity.
  • Retain the original delivery record when a receiving party later disputes a quantity.
Check the processing result Processing status for the delivery or return base record

Original document reference and matching response

  • Reconcile the delivery or return base record with the source after a timeout before sending it again. A lost response can occur after the destination has already processed the document.

The document reference includes 13 segments. Use the segment reference below to locate the relevant parts of the message. Check required fields and repetition limits in the partner guide.

How the related documents differ

Each message represents a different business event. Use shared references to connect the records while tracking each message’s outcome separately.

Implementation steps

  1. Choose the starting event and owner

    Decide which application acts when delivery or return details establish a reconciliation baseline. Name the operational owner of the delivery or return base record and the team that resolves rejected or ambiguous messages.

  2. Keep record IDs connected

    Map delivery reference, store and item. Confirm qualifiers, code lists, units and date/time meaning against the agreed X12 version and Stater Bros. Markets guide. Preserve the source reference alongside any new destination identifier.

  3. Test failures before launch

    Run the failure cases in the mapping table against realistic delivery or return base record data. Check how the receiving system reports a rejection and how your team corrects it without creating a duplicate.

  4. Track every document to completion

    Record transport delivery and document validation separately from successful delivery or return base record processing. Give unresolved errors an owner and check the receiving system before approving retries.

Go-live checklist

  • An approved 894 sample and the agreed version and partner guide are available.
  • The mapping tests pass with realistic delivery or return base record data.
  • Each submitted document can be traced through delivery, validation and processing in the receiving system.
  • Your team knows how to investigate and recover a rejected or timed-out delivery or return base record without processing it twice.
