Managed EDI for IKEA suppliers
IKEA EDI. Article and package details handled together.
Roundhouse performs IKEA supplier EDI work, preparing approved order responses, dispatch information and invoices. We handle the document processing for your assigned buying account.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is IKEA supplier EDI?
IKEA supplier EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents for the agreed purchasing relationship. Product suppliers, component suppliers and other business relationships can have different instructions. We confirm the buying entity, region and assigned messages before setup.
Multiple packages can belong to one article.
A furniture article may require several packages while remaining one ordered product. We preserve the approved relationship between article quantity and package count in the shipment data. Your warehouse confirms the actual packed components before dispatch information is prepared.
IKEA 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ORDERS, where assigned | Purchase Order | Translate the ordered article and quantities. |
| ORDRSP, where assigned | Purchase Order Response | Prepare approved order responses. |
| DESADV, where assigned | Despatch Advice | Describe the actual dispatch and package relationships. |
| INVOIC, where assigned | Invoice | Prepare approved billing in the assigned format. |
| Assigned acknowledgment | Assigned acknowledgment | Review technical responses for the connection. |
Keep supplier requirements distinct from document processing.
IKEA describes supplier standards including IWAY. Roundhouse’s EDI processing does not itself certify compliance with those broader requirements. Your business retains responsibility for product and supply obligations while we handle the agreed electronic work.
Use the account’s actual message standard.
Public integration material describes EDIFACT order, response, dispatch and invoice messages. We confirm those against your current account instructions rather than treating every published logistics message as a required supplier transaction. Approved prices and releases remain under your control.
Frequently asked questions
IKEA EDI support
Can one article have several shipping packages?
Yes. We keep the product quantity and its package breakdown distinct.
Does EDI setup provide IWAY certification?
No. Supplier standards and EDI document processing are separate responsibilities.
Will every IKEA account use identical messages?
We confirm the purchasing entity and current supplier instructions first.
Who operates the EDI system?
Roundhouse performs the agreed processing using its own systems.
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.
