In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat."

Implementation guide ## X12 875 mapping and validation X12 875 Grocery Products Purchase Order is used when a grocery buyer places an order. Preserve purchase order, item and pack or unit basis so the grocery purchase order in your business system stays connected to the original document. Use the version and implementation guide agreed with your trading partner to confirm required fields and responses. **Map records and test the business result** | Document or decision | Record and matching IDs | What to test | | --- | --- | --- | | Match the business record | **grocery purchase order** purchase order, item and pack or unit basis | Define which combination of purchase order, item and pack or unit basis identifies one business record, its lines and any later revision. | | Update the receiving system | **Processing the grocery purchase order** ID assigned by the receiving system and processing result | Test catch-weight or variable-quantity items using the units agreed in the partner guide. Separate case quantities from each quantities during sales-order creation. | | Check the processing result | **Processing status for the grocery purchase order** Original document reference and matching response | Reconcile the grocery purchase order with the source after a timeout before sending it again. A lost response can occur after the destination has already processed the document. | ### 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. - [X12 880 Grocery Products Invoice](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/x12/880-grocery-products-invoice) **grocery invoice:** grocery goods are ready for detail billing. - [X12 876 Grocery Products Purchase Order Change](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/x12/876-grocery-products-purchase-order-change) **grocery order change:** a grocery buyer revises an order. ### Implementation steps 1. #### Choose the starting event and owner Decide which application acts when a grocery buyer places an order. Name the operational owner of the grocery purchase order and the team that resolves rejected or ambiguous messages. 2. #### Keep record IDs connected Map purchase order, item and pack or unit basis. Confirm qualifiers, code lists, units and date/time meaning against the agreed X12 version and partner 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 grocery purchase order 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 grocery purchase order processing. Give unresolved errors an owner and check the receiving system before approving retries. ### Go-live checklist - An approved 875 sample and the agreed version and partner guide are available. - The mapping tests pass with realistic grocery purchase order 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 grocery purchase order without processing it twice. ### Related documents and resources - [X12 880 Grocery Products Invoice](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/x12/880-grocery-products-invoice) - [X12 876 Grocery Products Purchase Order Change](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/x12/876-grocery-products-purchase-order-change) - [Field mapping workbook](https://www.stacksync.com/blog/two-way-sync-field-mapping-workbook) - [Production readiness checklist](https://www.stacksync.com/blog/two-way-sync-production-readiness-checklist) **Sources.** Sources reviewed 2026-09-15. - [X12 transaction-set directory](https://x12.org/products/transaction-sets) - [RFC 4130: AS2 and message receipts](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc4130/) Document structure ## X12 875 Grocery Products Purchase Order at the element level The X12 875 reference contains 36 segment entries and 210 data elements; 60 are marked mandatory in this reference.

EDI 875 is the X12 Grocery Products Purchase Order transaction set. Trading partners use it when a grocery buyer places an order. It carries the data for the grocery purchase order, and your system matches it on purchase order, item and pack or unit basis. ### Who sends an EDI 875 and who receives it? A grocery retailer, wholesaler, or distributor sends the 875 to a food and beverage supplier, manufacturer, or broker to request delivery of finished goods. Your trading partner agreement confirms the direction and version for your account. ### When is an EDI 875 sent? A grocery retailer's or wholesaler's replenishment system cuts a purchase order for finished goods for a store or distribution center and transmits it as an 875. Your partner guide sets any deadline or schedule for the document. ### What are the key segments in an EDI 875? Across 38 partner document references listed here, the business segments that appear most often include G50 (Purchase Order Identification), G62 (Date/Time), G66 (Transportation Instructions), N1 (Party Identification), G68 (Line Item Detail - Product), G76 (Total Purchase Order). Each partner guide sets which segments and elements your account must send. ### What is the difference between EDI 875 and EDI 880? The 875 carries the grocery purchase order and is used when a grocery buyer places an order. The 880 carries the grocery invoice and is used when grocery goods are ready for detail billing. ### What should I map for X12 875? Start with purchase order, item and pack or unit basis and the target grocery purchase order. Define duplicate detection, allowed updates and response correlation before mapping individual fields. Use the partner guide to check required fields and their formats. ### How should I test 875 error handling? Test catch-weight or variable-quantity items using the units agreed in the partner guide. Separate case quantities from each quantities during sales-order creation. Also test a lost response after destination processing so that a retry cannot create an unintended duplicate or repeated adjustment. ### Which partners list X12 875? The directory on this page links 34 partner entries that list this message. Choose your partner and channel, then confirm which messages and versions your account requires. ## Connect EDI to your business systems See how Stacksync can fit your enterprise EDI workflow.
