Managed EDI for Ferguson suppliers
Ferguson EDI. Keep model, finish and order references aligned.
Roundhouse handles Ferguson supplier EDI for wholesale building and plumbing products, preparing orders, ASNs and invoices. We do the electronic document work for your team.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Ferguson EDI?
Ferguson EDI exchanges structured business documents with participating suppliers. We confirm the purchasing division and account because a program for one Ferguson channel is not automatically a specification for every other channel.
Similar descriptions can identify different products.
A fitting size, fixture finish or model revision can change the item being supplied. We retain the approved manufacturer and buyer references, along with the selling unit. That helps avoid billing or shipping a similar-looking variant against the wrong order line.
Ferguson EDI documents and processing.
The following are document functions for the agreed supplier workflow, not a universal list of mandatory transactions. We confirm the current purchasing entity, maps, required responses and testing instructions for your account before production.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850, where assigned | Purchase Order | Translate model, item and destination references. |
| 855, where assigned | Purchase Order Acknowledgment | Prepare the approved response to the order. |
| 856, where assigned | Advance Ship Notice | Describe the actual shipment. |
| 810, where assigned | Invoice | Prepare invoice quantities and prices. |
| 997, where assigned | Functional Acknowledgment | Review technical receipt and processing status. |
Destination and quantity changes need reconciliation.
We compare approved order revisions with the final packing data before preparing the assigned shipment notice. The invoice then uses the agreed price and actual shipped quantity. Your team decides how to resolve shortages or substitutions.
From account setup to daily processing.
We establish current document maps, testing and the warehouse handover. Roundhouse prepares and transmits the agreed records and reviews exceptions; your people continue to manage the commercial relationship and delivery.
