TSC 850 4010 PURCHASE ORDER DOCUMENT - PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL – 10/01/07
INTRODUCTION
This document is to provide Tractor Supply Company (TSC) Trading Partners with the business and
technical information needed to upgrade or implement the 850 Purchase Order document. For a
successful EDI implementation, it is critical that you review these mapping guidelines and
understand the EDI processes and procedures for Tractor Supply Company. Charts summarizing
EDI enveloping segments and the segment hierarchy are provided for the technical reader. This document,
prepared by TSC, contains descriptions of only those segments and data elements used by TSC.
The 850 Purchase Order will be transmitted in version 4010 of the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) X12 Standards per the enclosed guidelines. If you require additional information regarding the
ANSI X12 Standards, refer to the standards manual. TSC uses the VICS (retail/manufacturer) subset of the
ANSI X12 standards for interpretation of segments and data elements. We do observe all VICS notes and
recommendations. If you need a standards manual, contact GS1 US (formerly Uniform Code Council) at:

GENERAL GUIDELINES
Transmission
TSC’s Value Added Network (VAN) is Sterling Commerce. If you choose to use a VAN other than
Sterling, you may interconnect to Sterling. Please note that you are responsible for selecting an EDI
solution provider/VAN that has effective tools for managing and tracking your EDI data. You are also
responsible for data retention with your VAN. We recommend a minimum of 14 days of data retention
at your VAN in case of communications issues.
TSC transmits purchase orders (850’s) to Sterling Collaboration Network by 2:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
(CT) Monday through Friday and by 9:00 p.m. (CT) on Sunday.
To ensure timely processing of purchase orders, pick up of the purchase order data should be scheduled
as soon as possible following our delivery times. We request that you check your mailbox for orders
daily.
A functional acknowledgment (997) must be returned on all Purchase Order transaction sets.
TSC expects to receive Functional Acknowledgments (997’s) for purchase orders (850’s) within 24
hours. If we do not receive one, you will be contacted and asked to send the 997 electronically as soon
as possible. You are responsible for knowing how to generate this document from your EDI solution
and how to resend it if we did not receive it. We will identify the data using the Interchange (ISA)
control number, not the PO number(s). If necessary, we will help you track data that you cannot locate.
TSC expects all Trading Partners to review and notify the buying department of any pricing
discrepancies on purchase orders (850’s) within 24 hours.
TSC expects all purchase orders (850’s) to be shipped in full. A TSC Buyer or Associate Buyer must
be notified in advance of any exceptions.

TSC 850 4010 PURCHASE ORDER DOCUMENT - PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL – 10/01/07
Transmission Verification
Each transmission you receive from TSC is numbered in sequence. If you show a gap in the
interchange (ISA) control numbers, contact the TSC EDI Analyst at (615) 440-4639 or (615) 440-4808.
If you receive multiple EDI documents from TSC, you should also check your group (GS) control
numbers. GS control numbers are incremented individually by document, whereas ISA control numbers
increment globally for all documents. If the control numbers are out of sequence, you are most likely
missing an envelope of data.
If you question the validity of your translated data, please compare your translated data to your raw
data (before translation). This process should identify from where the problem is originating, your
translation or TSC’s system.
Retransmission
If you need data retransmitted, call your VAN and have them restore the data you need. Once the data
has been restored, you should pick up the data from the VAN. Based on your agreement with your
VAN, there may be a limited restoration window. You should check with your chosen VAN for their
individual archiving procedures. Also, there may be a fee for restoration of data. It is your
responsibility to choose appropriate archiving procedures based on your EDI processing schedule.
If you are missing an interchange (ISA), call your VAN and provide the following information. They
should be able to find the data and restore it for you:
Your qualifier
Your sender/receiver ID
TSC’s qualifier-----08
TSC’s sender/receiver ID-----6120930000
The interchange (ISA) control number you are missing
TSC uses the basic purchase order format. One purchase order will be written for each store or
distribution center detailing the items to be shipped to each location.

Item Identification
TSC can provide a product cross-reference list containing the above information. To request this list,
contact TSC’s EDI department at [email protected]. To request a change or an update to a vendor part
number or UPC code, contact your TSC buyer.
New Stores
TSC is constantly adding new store locations. TSC will transmit an SAC header segment with a code
of “OHNS” in the SAC04 on orders sent prior to the store opening date. Our trading partners are
responsible for having a process in place to identify new store orders using this flag. Also, the N3 and
N4 segments will be transmitted on these orders giving you the address on the initial order. After the
store has opened, the address is no longer transmitted on the PO. If you need a new store address,
contact TSC’s new store hot line @ (615) 440-4770 or contact your TSC buyer.
Ship-to address
Remit-to address
Buyer’s name
Buyer’s notes

850 Testing Procedures
Review the attached guidelines and call TSC’s EDI Analyst to schedule testing. Vendors beginning
with letters A-K, please call 615-440-4639. Vendors beginning with L-Z, please call 615-440-4808.
2. A “T” will be transmitted in ISA15 to indicate the PO’s are test data.
3. One of the PO’s will be for an existing site and one will be for a new site.
4. We will expect to receive a functional acknowledgment back from you the following
business day in ISA 000000001.
Once we successfully receive the functional acknowledgment, we will send an email asking if you are
ready to be moved into production on EDI PO’s.
1. You have a cross reference in place for our site numbers so you will know where to ship the
orders.
2. You have data retention at your VAN so you can track data and retrieve it again if there is a
problem on your end.
3. You are able to resend an acknowledgment if we do not receive it the first time.
4. You completely understand the information transmitted on our generic test PO’s and that
they contain all the data elements you need to be able to process our orders.
.
850 Implementation Procedures
Once both TSC and you agree to move to a production status on EDI PO’s, you will receive a
confirmation letter from the EDI analyst.
