Implementation Procedure Guide

EDI Trading Partner Implementation

The Intermet Corporation will set up the trading partner relationship based on the information supplied on the Trading Partner Survey filled out by our Suppliers. The Intermet Corporation uses the General Electric Information System (GEIS) network for exchanging EDI transactions. Intermet Corporation Trading Partners are not limited to this VAN, as Advantis, Ordernet, and the many other major VANs offer interconnects to exchange EDI documents between networks. The Intermet Corporation only uses one mailbox address for testing and production. The cost of receiving the transactions is distributed by the VAN, fifty-fifty (50/50) between the Intermet Corporation and The Trading partner. An important part of the EDI communications between the Intermet Corporation and its Trading Partner, is documented on pages 5 through 8, detail Intermet guidelines of the ISA and GS enveloping segments.
