Managed EDI for Fred Meyer suppliers
Fred Meyer EDI. Your supplier program handled correctly.
Domestic merchandise, jewelry and replenishment programs do not all use the same document flow. Roundhouse identifies the Fred Meyer program assigned to your account and does the processing: order interpretation, data entry, shipment preparation and invoice handling.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Fred Meyer EDI?
Fred Meyer EDI exchanges standardized purchasing, shipment and billing information with suppliers. Its published Non Food / Jewelry guidance separates several programs. Roundhouse performs the electronic document work for wholesale accounts, using the relevant program rather than applying one generic list to every supplier.
With ASN and without ASN are different domestic programs.
The published domestic comparison includes purchase orders, invoices and invoice application advice in both flows, while the ASN is required in the with-ASN program. Jewelry, imports, scan-based trading and vendor-managed inventory have their own combinations. We establish your assigned flow first; this non-food guidance is not a substitute for grocery account instructions.
Fred Meyer Non Food / Jewelry document reference.
Program assignments determine usage. This table summarizes the published program distinctions and the processing reviewed during setup, not a single mandatory list for every Fred Meyer account.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 | Purchase Order | Translate domestic, jewelry or import orders using the assigned map. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare billing for programs that use it, with the correct order and item references. |
| 824 | Application Advice | Review invoice errors and ASN advice where assigned; coordinate approved corrections. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice | Prepare shipment detail for ASN-enabled programs from actual packing data. |
| 855 | Purchase Order Acknowledgment / VMI order workflow | Follow the assigned vendor-managed inventory map and approved replenishment information. |
| 852 | Product Activity Data | Handle the assigned SBT or VMI activity flow; usage varies by program. |
| 812 | Credit/Debit Adjustment | Review adjustments where included in the account workflow. |
| 816 | Organizational Relationships | Use assigned location data where the program provides it. |
| 830 | Planning Schedule with Release Capability | Handle planning information where the account uses this optional flow. |
| GS1-128 | Shipping label | Prepare the labels required by the assigned packing and ASN program. |
An 824 can tell you something a receipt acknowledgment cannot.
Invoice application advice can identify business-data errors needing attention. A transmission receipt alone does not establish that an invoice passed those checks. We review applicable 824 responses and work from approved corrections instead of simply resending an unchanged invoice.
Packing structure belongs in the setup conversation.
For ASN accounts, we confirm the assigned packing structure and carton-label instructions, including whether the workflow uses pack-by-store or scan-on-receive requirements. Your final packing breakdown provides the order, destination and carton contents needed for shipment preparation.
Replenishment documents have a specific business purpose.
An 855 in a vendor-managed inventory program is not automatically the same workflow as an ordinary PO response. Product activity and adjustment messages also depend on the program. We agree the required handling before production so sales activity, purchasing and billing are not mixed together.
Daily processing with your team in control.
We handle the agreed data entry, documents and response review using our own systems. Your team approves commercial details and your warehouse handles fulfillment. Open orders and prior invoice submissions are reconciled before an existing account changes providers.
Frequently asked questions
Fred Meyer EDI support
Does every Fred Meyer supplier need an ASN?
No. The published Non Food / Jewelry guidance distinguishes domestic accounts with and without ASNs, plus other programs. Your assigned program determines the requirement.
What is the 824 used for?
It is Application Advice. In the Fred Meyer invoice workflow it can report business-data errors that require review and correction.
What routing instructions apply to a Kroger or Fred Meyer vendor?
Use the current instructions for the assigned division, supplier program and destination. A generic Kroger route should not be assumed to cover a Fred Meyer non-food shipment.
Do these non-food requirements apply to grocery orders?
Not automatically. We confirm the grocery program and its assigned order and invoice formats separately.
Do you perform the EDI work for us?
Yes. Roundhouse handles the agreed document preparation, transmission and response review using approved information from your team.
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.
