from http://www.uc-council.org/ean_ucc_system/stnds_and_tech/vics_edi.html
"VICS EDI is the Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Standard which is used by the
general merchandise retail industry. It is a subset of the ANSI ASC X12
national standard."
VICS subset of X12 is used mostly by department stores and their suppliers.
There is no difference in the envelopes. The GS_08 field allows up to 12
characters. From Sears US guidelines:
The Industry Identifier Code following the version/release code (in GS08) tells
your translator which tables to use to translate the data included in the
functional group. Sears does not use the industry identifier in any
trading relationship; i.e., this code is omitted. This means that your
translator will perform translation using the full ASC X12 tables. We request
that you do not specify VICS (code VI) or you will most likely encounter
problems processing Sears transactions. Although we adhere as closely as
possible to the VICS EDI guidelines, we do implement transactions and
conventions that are not published in VICS EDI and, occasionally, we will
anticipate the VICS EDI publication.
I've seen both 004010 and 004010VICS in GS_08.
