Which identifiers should the UPS mapping preserve?

For X12 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment, use original purchase order, response revision and order line. Use the partner guide to locate these values and check their allowed formats.
Does a successful EDI receipt mean UPS 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 UPS Plus EDI?
Distinguish a seller-proposed change from acceptance of a buyer-requested change. Reject an outdated revision that would overwrite a later agreed quantity. Also test missing responses and recovery after a destination failure. Assign an owner to each failure and obtain partner approval before launch.
