The Home Depot (www.thehomedepot.com) is currently in the process of remediating all internal IT systems to increase the length of the SKU field from 6-digits to 10-digits. This change will not require modifications to the EDI mapping specification or recertification of EDI communications with The Home Depot. However to ensure minimal impact to the business, your internal systems need to support this increase in the SKU length field.
Action Required
•Share this memo with leadership at your organization responsible for internal systems
•Perform a full review of your internal systems, 3rd party partner systems, and associated interfaces with Home Depot systems and business processes to confirm you are able to process a 10-digit SKU ASAP.
•If necessary develop system remediation plans and have all system modifications in place by Friday, November 16th 2012.
Key Dates
•July 12th, 2012 – perform review of internal systems to assess impact of SKU length increase
•July 12th, 2012 – send any questions regarding this project to The Home Depot
•November 16th, 2012 – complete any remediation activities required to support SKU length increase
