Infocon Systems is a Preferred EDI Provider for Kroger. Our EDI experts handle your complete Kroger EDI setup, from initial connectivity and testing to final certification across every Kroger division and banner in the grocery supply chain. For businesses requiring deeper automation, our technical team can integrate your Kroger-specific 850, 875, 810, 880, and 856 transactions directly into your ERP system. We build the custom logic necessary to eliminate manual entry and maintain 100% compliance.
We handle every aspect of Kroger EDI compliance so you can keep shipping product to every Kroger division without interruption.
We review the Kroger program you sell into, the documents your division requires, your ERP system, and your current workflows to plan the right integration for your business.
We build custom EDI maps to Kroger's specifications, including the 850 and 875 purchase orders, 810 and 880 invoices, 856 ship notices, and GS1-128 carton labels where your program requires them.
We submit your setup request to Kroger, run end-to-end testing with Kroger's EDI team, and validate every transaction set before you move to production.
Launch your fully automated Kroger EDI connection. Your documents flow seamlessly while our team monitors acknowledgments and manages everything 24/7.
Kroger publishes its EDI requirements by program and division. Here is what suppliers are asked to do, and how Infocon Systems takes each item off your plate.
Kroger issues purchase orders as either the standard 850 or the 875 Grocery Products Purchase Order, depending on the division and product category. Suppliers must be able to receive both formats and process the item, quantity, pricing, and delivery details they carry without manual re-entry.
Infocon Systems handles it: we map both the 850 and the 875 into your system as ready-to-fulfill sales orders.
Suppliers send invoices electronically as the 810 Invoice or the 880 Grocery Products Invoice. Kroger matches each invoice against the original purchase order and the receipt at the division, so item numbers, quantities, and pricing must line up with the order exactly for payment to proceed.
Infocon Systems handles it: invoices are generated from your order data in the format your Kroger division expects.
Kroger asks suppliers to acknowledge every transaction it sends with a 997 Functional Acknowledgment inside the timeframe set by the EDI standard or 24 hours, whichever is shorter. The 997 is how Kroger confirms your system received its purchase order or advice.
Infocon Systems handles it: 997s are returned automatically, and our team monitors them around the clock.
Kroger uses the 824 Application Advice to tell suppliers when an invoice or other document was accepted, or rejected because of a data problem. Suppliers must receive the 824, review each notice, and resend corrected documents before the issue holds up payment.
Infocon Systems handles it: we track every 824, flag rejections, and work with you to correct and resend.
Suppliers on selected supply chain programs send the 856 Advance Ship Notice before the truck arrives and label every carton with a GS1-128 label carrying the SSCC. Kroger scans the label at receiving and matches it to the ASN. Labeling instructions come from the buyer, warehouse, or traffic department of the division you supply.
Infocon Systems handles it: we build the 856 from your shipment data and produce compliant GS1-128 labels.
Kroger trades through its VAN and interconnects with other value-added networks, so suppliers need a provider with an established connection. New vendors submit Kroger's New Partner Set-Up Form through the Kroger EDI portal, then test each required document against the program and division guidelines before trading live.
Infocon Systems handles it: our EDI experts provide the connection, submit the setup request, and run testing with Kroger's EDI team.
We support all required and optional EDI transaction sets for Kroger supplier compliance.
Connect your Kroger EDI directly to your preferred ERP, Accounting, eCommerce, or WMS software.
