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.

Use shared references to connect the records while tracking each message’s outcome separately. - [X12 943 Warehouse Stock Transfer Shipment Advice](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/x12/943-warehouse-stock-transfer-shipment-advice) **warehouse transfer shipment:** stock has been shipped toward another warehouse. - [X12 947 Warehouse Inventory Adjustment Advice](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/x12/947-warehouse-inventory-adjustment-advice) **warehouse inventory adjustment:** warehouse stock is adjusted. ### Implementation steps 1. #### Choose the starting event and owner Decide which application acts when a warehouse reports received transfer stock. Name the operational owner of the warehouse transfer receipt and the team that resolves rejected or ambiguous messages. 2. #### Keep record IDs connected Map transfer, receipt location and received item. 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 warehouse transfer receipt 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 warehouse transfer receipt processing. Give unresolved errors an owner and check the receiving system before approving retries. ### Go-live checklist - An approved 944 sample and the agreed version and partner guide are available. - The mapping tests pass with realistic warehouse transfer receipt 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 warehouse transfer receipt without processing it twice. ### Related documents and resources - [X12 943 Warehouse Stock Transfer Shipment Advice](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/x12/943-warehouse-stock-transfer-shipment-advice) - [X12 947 Warehouse Inventory Adjustment Advice](https://www.stacksync.com/edi/x12/947-warehouse-inventory-adjustment-advice) - [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 944 Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt Advice at the element level The X12 944 reference contains 27 segment entries and 139 data elements; 50 are marked mandatory in this reference.

EDI 944 is the X12 Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt Advice transaction set. Trading partners use it when a warehouse reports received transfer stock. It carries the data for the warehouse transfer receipt, and your system matches it on transfer, receipt location and received item. ### Who sends an EDI 944 and who receives it? The 3PL or remote warehouse sends the 944 back to the supplier or manufacturer that shipped the stock transfer. Your trading partner agreement confirms the direction and version for your account. ### When is an EDI 944 sent? An inbound stock-transfer shipment is unloaded, counted, and put away at the warehouse. Your partner guide sets any deadline or schedule for the document. ### What are the key segments in an EDI 944? Across 12 partner document references listed here, the business segments that appear most often include W17 (Warehouse Receipt Identification), N1 (Name), W07 (Item Detail For Stock Receipt), W14 (Total Receipt Information), N9 (Reference Identification), N4 (Geographic Location). Each partner guide sets which segments and elements your account must send. ### What is the difference between EDI 944 and EDI 943? The 944 carries the warehouse transfer receipt and is used when a warehouse reports received transfer stock. The 943 carries the warehouse transfer shipment and is used when stock has been shipped toward another warehouse. ### What should I map for X12 944? Start with transfer, receipt location and received item and the target warehouse transfer receipt. 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 944 error handling? Reconcile a short receipt with the shipped quantity and leave the difference open. Separate damaged stock from saleable stock in the receiving balance. Also test a lost response after destination processing so that a retry cannot create an unintended duplicate or repeated adjustment. ### Which partners list X12 944?
