Sending a Trade Request

The first step in trading EDI is to set up a Trade Partnership in Orderful. You can do so by following this visual walkthrough in the Orderful UI A Trade Request is a request you will send to your partner's ISA ID in order to kick off partnership testing.

A trade request goes both ways, so you'll need to send your partner the details on the left of this table, and request the details on the right of the table.

What you will need to send to your partner	What you will need from your partner
Your EDI Vendor: `Orderful`
Live ISA ID and Qualifier: Find yours in your EDI Account Settings	Live ISA ID and Qualifier

Test ISA ID and Qualifier: Find yours in your EDI Account Settings	Test ISA ID and Qualifier
Test GS ID: The same as your ISA ID	Test GS ID
