Managed EDI for Kroger suppliers
Kroger EDI. We do the work for wholesale suppliers.
Roundhouse handles the electronic document work behind your Kroger wholesale orders: data entry, document preparation and transmission using our own systems. Grocery order and invoice processing with the right document pair. Your team provides the approved product and shipment facts; we process the assigned EDI documents.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Kroger EDI?
Kroger 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.
An 875 order is not an 850 with a different label.
Kroger programs can use grocery-specific or general purchase-order formats, with corresponding invoice instructions. Roundhouse establishes the assigned pair and preserves the order references and quantities through billing. We do not mix grocery and general-merchandise mappings.
Kroger 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. |
| 875 | Grocery Products Purchase Order — where assigned | Translate the assigned grocery order format while preserving the product and quantity references. |
| 810 | Invoice | Prepare and transmit the approved merchandise invoice with the required purchase references. |
| 880 | Grocery Products Invoice — where assigned | Prepare the assigned grocery invoice rather than substituting an unapproved 810 layout. |
| 824 | Application Advice | Review application-level feedback and prepare corrections where the response identifies an issue. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor technical acknowledgment; this does not establish business acceptance or approval for payment. |
Application advice helps close the processing loop.
Kroger's EDI resources describe 824 application advice alongside the purchasing and invoicing flow. We review available business responses and correct approved data when needed. The division and program determine the final setup; one banner's instructions do not define every account.
From the approved order to the final document.
We review your Kroger 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 Kroger 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.
Frequently asked questions
Kroger EDI support
Do you do the Kroger EDI work for wholesale suppliers?
Yes. Our team performs data entry, prepares the assigned documents and transmits approved information using our own systems. We provide the ongoing processing service, not just access to software.
What is the difference between Kroger 850/810 and 875/880?
Kroger programs can use grocery-specific or general purchase-order formats, with corresponding invoice instructions. Roundhouse establishes the assigned pair and preserves the order references and quantities through billing. We do not mix grocery and general-merchandise mappings.
Are all these EDI documents required for every Kroger supplier?
No. The supplier account, delivery channel and assigned specifications determine the required messages. We confirm those instructions before setup and testing.
Can you take over our existing Kroger EDI processing?
Yes. We review open transactions and the current account requirements, then agree the handover so orders and documents already processed are accounted for.
Can we view purchase orders and download PDFs?
Yes. You can view your purchase orders and download them as PDF files in our customer portal.
