Managed EDI for UNFI suppliers
UNFI EDI. The right document family for your division.
Roundhouse performs UNFI wholesale EDI work, handling grocery orders, revisions, shipment notices and invoices for the assigned account. Our team does the document processing.
Let’s talk about your EDI
What is UNFI EDI?
UNFI EDI exchanges business documents between product suppliers and their assigned distribution account. Suppliers should identify the division and program before setup: grocery-specific and general retail formats are not automatically interchangeable.
Keep the original order linked to its revisions.
An updated delivery date or case quantity may arrive as a separate change transaction. We reconcile that change with the original order and obtain approval for exceptions before preparing shipment records. The final invoice should follow the accepted order and actual goods released.
UNFI 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 850 / 875 | Purchase Order | Receive the order format assigned to the division. |
| 860 / 876 | Purchase Order Change Request | Reconcile the applicable purchase-order change. |
| 855, where assigned | Purchase Order Acknowledgment | Send your approved order acknowledgment. |
| 856, where assigned | Advance Ship Notice | Prepare the actual shipment record. |
| 810 / 880 | Invoice | Create the assigned invoice format. |
| 824, where assigned | Application Advice | Review reported application errors. |
Preserve natural-product variations.
A brand may supply several flavors, package sizes and case configurations. We maintain the approved item cross-reference and selling unit for each. Product setup and physical lot information come from your team; we use the correct inputs in the agreed document flow.
One processing team across approved accounts.
We confirm maps and testing for each UNFI account included in the service. Your staff has a defined handover for packing information and approvals. Roundhouse prepares and transmits the documents and follows up on reported errors.
