Managed EDI for Family Dollar suppliers
Family Dollar EDI. We do the work for wholesale suppliers.
Roundhouse handles the electronic document work behind your Family Dollar wholesale orders: data entry, document preparation and transmission using our own systems. Multi-location orders and invoice corrections kept traceable. Your team provides the approved product and shipment facts; we process the assigned EDI documents.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Family Dollar EDI?
Family Dollar 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.
Keep each destination tied to its order lines.
A wholesale account may allocate merchandise across multiple locations. We preserve the references assigned to those quantities, so the invoice and any assigned shipment document can be traced back to the appropriate order detail.
Family Dollar 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. |
| 860 | Purchase Order Change Request | Review buyer changes against the order and documents already prepared. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare and transmit the approved merchandise invoice with the required purchase references. |
| 864 | Text Message / business feedback — where assigned | Review assigned business messages and coordinate corrections from approved information. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor technical acknowledgment; this does not establish business acceptance or approval for payment. |
Correct the business error before resending.
An invoice rejection needs more than another transmission of the same information. We review available feedback against the approved quantities, prices and references, prepare corrections and retain the connection to the original invoice. Current Family Dollar instructions govern the account.
From the approved order to the final document.
We review your Family Dollar 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 Family Dollar 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.
