Implementation steps
-
Choose the starting event and owner
Decide which application acts when a promotion is announced or revised. Name the operational owner of the promotion record and the team that resolves rejected or ambiguous messages.
-
Keep record IDs connected
Map promotion, eligible item and start/end dates. 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.
-
Test failures before launch
Run the failure cases in the mapping table against realistic promotion record data. Check how the receiving system reports a rejection and how your team corrects it without creating a duplicate.
-
Track every document to completion
Record transport delivery and document validation separately from successful promotion record processing. Give unresolved errors an owner and check the receiving system before approving retries.
