Documents
The EDI documents Home Depot trades with suppliers
Home Depot sends purchase orders and remittance advice; you send back acknowledgments, ship notices and invoices, plus inventory advice and special-order status where the program asks for them. Each outbound document is built from your ERP’s own records.
| Document | Direction | What it carries |
|---|---|---|
| 850 Purchase order | From Home Depot | Stocking, Pro, special-order and direct-fulfillment orders, entered as sales orders in your ERP |
| 855 PO acknowledgment | To Home Depot | A status for each line, in the format of the order’s program |
| 856 Advance ship notice | To Home Depot | GS1 SSCC carton IDs and carrier package numbers, read from your shipment |
| 810 Invoice | To Home Depot | Built from your invoice, with payment terms |
| 846 Inventory advice | To Home Depot | Stock levels for your items, read from your ERP |
| 870 Order status report | To Home Depot | Status updates on special orders |
| 820 Remittance advice | From Home Depot | Payment details; on Prophet 21, imported as cash receipts |
Our direct-fulfillment map sends ship notices and invoices in X12 version 4060. Inbound X12 documents are acknowledged with a 997 as your partners require.

Onboarding
Getting live with Home Depot
A new Home Depot connection typically goes live in 4–8 weeks, paced by Home Depot’s testing.
Check your partner list
Run your partner list through the trading partner lookup, or send it to us. Home Depot is already in our map library, so setup starts from a proven map.
Exchange IDs and connect
You and Home Depot exchange EDI IDs and connection details. We set up the connection, whether AS2, SFTP or a VAN, including certificates.
Connect the map to your ERP
We tie the map to your ERP: items and the partner’s part numbers, ship-from locations, ship-tos and terms. You confirm the business rules.
Test with Home Depot
Test documents go to Home Depot until its testing signs off. This step sets the pace of the project.
Go live
Production orders start flowing, and our monitoring watches every document from the first day.
Managed EDI
How Comparatio runs Home Depot EDI for you
Our engineers build and change the maps, run the partner testing, maintain the connection and act on monitoring alerts. Your team keeps the ERP records current and makes the business calls.
Monitored by engineers
Daily checks, set up per partner, flag a document Home Depot never acknowledged or an invoice with no matching ship notice, and our team opens the ticket. In the 90 days to 28 Oct 2026, 61% of our tickets were opened by our own monitoring.
Same-day map changes
When Home Depot changes a requirement, we change the map the same day, with no project queue: map changes took a median of 103 minutes in the 90 days to 28 October 2026.
Checked before it goes
Every outbound X12 document is checked against Home Depot’s rules and reported, and can be held per partner.
Acknowledged as required
Inbound X12 documents are acknowledged with a 997 as your partners require. The 997s Home Depot sends back are matched to the documents they answer.
Connections and certificates
We set up and maintain the AS2, SFTP or VAN connection to Home Depot, including certificates and renewals.
Named engineers on every ticket
Questions go to engineers who know your setup, with a median first response of 79 minutes (Oct 2025–Oct 2026).
