Managed EDI for Dollar General suppliers
Dollar General EDI. We do the work for wholesale suppliers.
Roundhouse handles the electronic document work behind your Dollar General wholesale orders: data entry, document preparation and transmission using our own systems. Purchase orders and invoices for your DC or store program. Your team provides the approved product and shipment facts; we process the assigned EDI documents.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Dollar General EDI?
Dollar General EDI is the electronic exchange of standardized business documents between the retailer and its suppliers. For a wholesale account, the assigned workflow connects purchasing, shipment information and billing. Roundhouse performs that processing for you; there is no EDI application for your staff to buy or learn.
Start with the documents assigned to the delivery channel.
Dollar General's domestic guide distinguishes distribution-center and direct-store-delivery requirements. Its listed core DC flow includes purchase orders, invoices and functional acknowledgments; the direct-store flow emphasizes invoicing and acknowledgment. We establish your channel before configuring processing.
Dollar General EDI documents and processing responsibilities.
The table describes workflows we review for your supplier account. Required messages, versions, packing structures and testing follow your assigned program; not every row is mandatory for every supplier.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order | Translate the purchase order and retain item, quantity and destination references. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare and transmit the approved merchandise invoice with the required purchase references. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor technical acknowledgment; this does not establish business acceptance or approval for payment. |
An ASN is not a universal requirement to assume.
A long generic retail document list can obscure the actual assignment. Roundhouse prepares the messages required for your account, keeping approved item quantities, units and purchase references consistent. Additional shipment messages are reviewed when specifically assigned.
From the approved order to the final document.
We review your Dollar General account instructions and required tests, agree how your team will provide packing and approval information, and handle recurring processing. Order changes are checked against documents already prepared. Your warehouse controls the physical goods, packing and delivery; Roundhouse prepares the assigned electronic records from those facts.
Keep exceptions and the handover under control.
When taking over an existing Dollar General account, we review open orders and documents already transmitted to avoid duplicate processing. Checking references, units and quantities helps reduce EDI-related errors and chargebacks. Available acknowledgments and business responses are reviewed separately, because sending a file does not by itself establish acceptance.
