Managed EDI for The Food Emporium suppliers
The Food Emporium EDI. Built around the actual buying account.
A store banner does not tell the whole purchasing story. Roundhouse handles the agreed electronic order and invoice work for wholesale suppliers serving The Food Emporium, starting with the buying entity and delivery arrangement so each document reaches the right account.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is The Food Emporium EDI?
It is the electronic exchange of business documents for an approved Food Emporium supply relationship. The actual buyer may be the store operator or another purchasing organization. We establish that relationship before translating orders or preparing invoices, instead of assuming one banner-wide technical setup.
Direct supply is different from selling through a distributor.
If a distributor buys your products and supplies the store, your document exchange may be with that distributor. A direct store purchasing arrangement can have another account and billing route. We identify the PO issuer, bill-to party and receiving location together so the store name does not become an incorrect invoice destination.
Food Emporium supplier document functions.
This is a technical reference for confirming the actual buying account, not a published mandate covering every store operator. Use the assigned order/invoice pair and shipment rules.
| Code / format | Document | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| 850 or 875 where assigned | Purchase Order / Grocery Products Purchase Order | Translate the account’s order format while retaining item, unit and delivery references. |
| 810 or 880 where assigned | Invoice / Grocery Products Invoice | Prepare the matching invoice format using approved quantities and charges. |
| 860 where assigned | Purchase Order Change Request | Review authorized revisions before shipment and invoice preparation. |
| 856 where assigned | Advance Ship Notice | Prepare electronic shipment information only where the agreed program requires it. |
| 997 where assigned | Functional Acknowledgment | Review receipt and syntax status without assuming business acceptance. |
| GS1-128 where specified | Shipping label | Generate the assigned label files for the confirmed delivery program. |
Keep grocery case sizes attached to the item.
Different flavors, pack sizes and units can have similar descriptions. We use approved item references and pack quantities when entering the order and invoice details. Substitutions and short deliveries should be authorized and reflected in the documents, rather than hidden in an unchanged order total.
Use the account’s real shipment requirements.
Where the approved program requires electronic shipment information or labels, we prepare them from your actual packing record. We do not add a chain-wide ASN requirement simply because an older directory lists one. Your delivery team remains responsible for the physical merchandise and receiving arrangements.
A managed service for routine orders.
We review the account’s document formats and testing before production, then perform the agreed data entry and transmission. For an existing relationship, outstanding orders and invoice submissions are checked before switching providers. Your team supplies the approved facts; we handle the document work.
Frequently asked questions
The Food Emporium EDI support
Does every Food Emporium location use the same EDI account?
Do not assume that. The buying entity, supplier agreement and receiving arrangement determine the document setup.
What if we supply the stores through a distributor?
We identify who purchases your products. The required EDI exchange may be with the distributor rather than directly with the store.
Do you handle order and invoice entry for us?
Yes. Roundhouse prepares the agreed electronic documents from information your team provides and approves.
Are ASNs required for every delivery?
We confirm the assigned account instructions. No universal requirement is assumed for every operator or delivery arrangement.
Can you work with grocery-specific documents?
We review the assigned order and invoice pair during setup, including grocery formats where required.
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.
