Step 1: Fill in customer setup-form

An Onetrail employee will send you a 'Customer Setup-Form'.  This form will contain all required EDI data, such as;

• GLN
• Contact Information
• Means of communication
• IP addresses

Step 2: Approve onboarding requirements Coolblue

Coolblue applies a strict EDI policy. This means Coolblue wants to know exactly what happens with their orders in the order response message. It is therefore required to approve the Onboarding requirements.

• If the requirements are met, please send your approval in an email to TPN.Delivery@onetrail.com.
• If the requirements are not met, please contact your Onetrail Implementation Consultant to discuss the possibilities.

Specific Coolblue business requirements:

Order Response
Suppliers must be able to comply with all order response scenario's mentioned below in step 5.

• Suppliers need to be able to handle all of the Coolblue delivery locations. Production GLN codes will be provided by either Onetrail or Coolblue when the Supplier has finished onboarding for Coolblue entirely.

Step 3: Means of communication

Onetrail supports a wild array of communication options, they can be found on this page.

An Onetrail Consultant will test the chosen communication protocol with you, both on the Onetrail Acceptance and Production environments.

Step 4: Setup test trading partner

While onboarding with Coolblue, Onetrail will test using a test account on the Onetrail Acceptance environment.
The test account is linked to an automatic validation process that provides automatic feedback about the currently performed tests.

The GLN codes which need to be used for this Acceptance test account are:

Onetrail EDIFACT D.96A / D.97A Format

Onetrail XML Format

Step 5: Configure messages

Specific Coolblue Order Response requirements:

It is mandatory that the outbound message (ORDRSP) supports the following scenario's when applicable (it needs to reflect the physical / real world shipments)

Scenario 1: Order confirmed without changes

• 1.1: The Seller accepts the purchase order with exactly the same prices, quantities and requested delivery dates as requested.

Scenario 2: Order confirmed with changes

• 2.1: Accept the purchase order with a deviating price
• 2.2: Accept the purchase order with a deviating delivery date. Test both known and unknown delivery date responses.
• If there is a change in the requested quantities, please use Scenario 8: Order-Line is split instead.

Scenario 3: Order on-hold

• 3. There is a blockage on the complete order, this can occur when there are financial, sales, stock or other technical issues with the purchase order which prevents physical delivery of the products. This excludes normal back-orders, because that is Scenario 2.

Scenario 4: Order-line on-hold

• 4. There is a blockage on one or more Order-Lines, this can occur when there are financial, sales, stock or other technical issues with the purchase order.

Scenario 5: Order deleted

• 5. Purchase order is cancelled by either Seller or Buyer.

Scenario 6: Order-line(s) Deleted

• 6. One or more Order-Lines have been cancelled by either Seller or Buyer.

Scenario 7: Order-line is added

• 7. Seller adds a new Order-line on request of the Buyer or because of a change by either Seller or Buyer.
  

Scenario 8: Order-line is split

When the Order will be partially delivered, the quantity which is available for delivery will be shipped when requested, the quantity which is not available will be either put in **back-order (8.1)**, **blocked (8.2)**, or **cancelled (8.3)**.

• 8.1A: Accept the purchase order with a split-order line backorder response with either known and/or unknown delivery dates.
• 8.1B: Also confirm in an update response that the on-stock order line is partially shipped and the other order line is still partially back-ordered.
• 8.2 Accept the purchase order with a split-order line on-hold/blocked response with unknown delivery date.
• 8.3 Accept the purchase order with a split-order line delete response with unknown delivery date.

Example messages for the above scenario's

Additional Message Type Examples:

Step 6: Test Messages

For validation and simulation, please use the NAD segments as mentioned in the original ORDER.
Send in the ORDRSP and DESADV messages via the preferred communications channel and receive an validation report via E-mail.

Step 7: Go Live 

When all scenario's are tested your Onetrail Implementation Consultant will inform Coolblue that the onboarding is completed.

Golden order
Before a full production Go Live is possible, Coolblue will first send an so-called "golden order".
This order must fully processed and delivered to the selected Coolblue warehouse and all developed response messages must be send back via Live EDI connection for that order.

Full Go live!
A full Go Live is possible when Coolblue receives the physical delivery correctly and on time as confirmed in the EDI Order Response and Despatch Advise message(s). Coolblue will let you know when a full Go Live is possible.
However, when the process wasn't completed satisfactory, Coolblue might opt to send another "golden order" to repeat and verify the process again.
