What Dollar General requires
Purchase Order
The order a trading partner sends you. Process same day, never re-key.
Purchase Order Acknowledgment
Confirms what you can ship against the PO — quantities, dates, substitutions.
Ship Notice / ASN
The carton-level shipment mirror that must arrive before the freight does.
Invoice
Your bill for the shipment. Must reconcile with the PO and the ASN.
Functional Acknowledgment

Store-level sales and stock movement from the retailer.
Compliance matters here: Dollar General vendor compliance (fill rate + ASN deductions). EDISQ validates every outbound document against Dollar General's companion guide before transmission, so chargebacks stop at the map.
