Managed EDI for Meijer suppliers
Meijer EDI. We do the work for wholesale suppliers.
Roundhouse handles the electronic document work behind your Meijer wholesale orders: data entry, document preparation and transmission using our own systems. Grocery and general-merchandise documents in the right format. Your team provides the approved product and shipment facts; we process the assigned EDI documents.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is Meijer EDI?
Meijer 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.
Different buying programs can use different message pairs.
Meijer suppliers should establish the assigned product and delivery program before choosing formats. A grocery order and invoice flow may differ from general merchandise. We preserve the purchase references and units required by your account.
Meijer 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. |
| 856 | Advance Ship Notice (ASN) | Enter actual shipment and packing details and prepare the assigned shipment notice. |
| GS1-128 | Shipping label format | Prepare assigned shipping labels with container identifiers matched to the shipment data. This is a barcode format, not an X12 transaction number. |
| 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. |
| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Monitor technical acknowledgment; this does not establish business acceptance or approval for payment. |
Store allocations must survive the packing process.
A multi-location order can require store-level packing detail in the shipment notice. Roundhouse works from the actual carton contents and assigned labels, keeping store destinations linked to the order rather than reducing everything to a distribution-center total.
From the approved order to the final document.
We review your Meijer 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 Meijer 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
Meijer EDI support
Do you do the Meijer 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.
Can Meijer grocery and general merchandise use different EDI formats?
Meijer suppliers should establish the assigned product and delivery program before choosing formats. A grocery order and invoice flow may differ from general merchandise. We preserve the purchase references and units required by your account.
Are all these EDI documents required for every Meijer 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 Meijer 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.
