How should I choose the Sysco EDI channel?

Which identifiers should the Sysco mapping preserve?
For X12 850 Purchase Order, plan around buyer purchase order, order line and trading-party identifiers. For X12 860 Purchase Order Change Request Buyer Initiated, use original purchase order, change revision and affected line. Use the partner guide to locate these values and check their allowed formats.
Does a successful EDI receipt mean Sysco accepted the business document?
Track delivery, document validation and business processing separately. An AS2 message disposition notification (MDN) confirms transport receipt; an X12 997 or 999 reports technical validation. Use the agreed business response or reconciliation report to confirm that the order, shipment or invoice was processed.
What should be tested before launching iTrade (via Sysco) EDI?
Map buyer item numbers to seller SKUs and explicitly convert case quantities to the agreed unit. Resend one purchase order and confirm that only one sales order is created. Also test missing responses and recovery after a destination failure. Assign an owner to each failure and obtain partner approval before launch.
