Managed EDI for ALDI suppliers
ALDI EDI. Match the article, the order and the buying entity.
Roundhouse manages ALDI supplier EDI work, preparing orders, changes and invoices around your assigned purchasing program. We handle document processing while your team manages the products.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is ALDI EDI?
ALDI EDI is the structured exchange of order and billing information with suppliers. Requirements depend on the purchasing entity and country. ALDI SOUTH publishes EANCOM onboarding guidance, so a generic US retail transaction list should not be applied to every ALDI account.
Keep article and packaging references together.
An order for a display, a case or an individual article must retain its intended unit. We reconcile your product identifiers and approved packaging quantities with the account’s master data before preparing invoices. A similar description is not a substitute for the correct article reference.
ALDI EDI documents and processing.
This reference describes an EANCOM-oriented workflow reflected in ALDI SOUTH guidance. The purchasing entity’s current instructions govern your account; it is not a global mandate or a claim that all countries use identical messages.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| ORDERS | Purchase Order | Read the assigned EANCOM order and item quantities. |
| Assigned change message | Assigned change message | Apply the approved cancellation or rebooking instructions. |
| INVOIC | Invoice | Prepare the invoice for the relevant purchasing entity. |
| Assigned shipment message | Assigned shipment message | Prepare dispatch information where included in the program. |
| Assigned acknowledgment | Assigned acknowledgment | Review the technical response required by the connection. |
Rebooked orders should not become duplicate shipments.
The published onboarding guidance covers order changes and cancellations. We check the current order state and communicate approved revisions to your team before creating subsequent documents. Open orders and already-submitted invoices are included in a provider handover.
Use the assigned program, not assumptions.
We confirm map versions, invoice rules and testing with the account’s instructions. Your team supplies accurate product and shipment data and approves exceptions. Roundhouse carries out the agreed electronic preparation and transmission.
Frequently asked questions
ALDI EDI support
Does ALDI EDI always use X12 850 and 810?
No. ALDI SOUTH publishes EANCOM guidance. We confirm the standard and messages for your particular account.
Can you handle a change to an ALDI order?
Yes. We reconcile the revised order before preparing the affected documents.
Does EDI setup approve us as an ALDI supplier?
No. The commercial supplier relationship and product approval are separate from EDI setup.
Do we need an internal EDI operator?
Roundhouse performs the agreed document work; your team remains responsible for product, shipment and approval information.
Use the current instructions for your vendor account when setting up or changing an EDI connection. Retailer names identify the accounts we support; these pages are published by Roundhouse, Inc.
