Back in 2011, Sears/Sears Holding asked Trading Partners to add the ‘PER’ segment to all EDI Invoices (810) and Advanced Shipment Notices (856). Sears request is backed by a logic of being able to automate the capturing of Trading Partner’s most current EDI contact.
Almost 3,000 Trading Partners did implement the ‘PER’ segment promoting Sears to request all remaining Trading Partners comply with the request by September 1, 2013. No testing is required for adding the ‘PER,’ only mapping changes are required before implementation.
The format of the ‘PER’ segment is exactly the same for all Sears/Sears Holding 810 & 856 documents. They would like you to fill in both email addresses and telephone numbers with email being the most important information.
