What Kroger 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
The receipt for every document. Automatic, both directions, within minutes.
Grocery Products Purchase Order
The grocery-industry PO, built for DSD and high-frequency ordering.
Grocery Products Invoice
The grocery-industry invoice companion to the 875.
Compliance matters here: Kroger compliance deductions (late/inaccurate ASN). EDISQ validates every outbound document against Kroger's companion guide before transmission, so chargebacks stop at the map.
How EDISQ connects to Kroger
Kroger trades AS2 direct. EDISQ maintains the AS2 connection and certificates, registers your IDs, and loads the certified maps the moment you enable the partner:
Typical Kroger setup with EDISQ: 1–3 days on the EDI side.
