What Safeway 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.
Compliance matters here: Albertsons vendor compliance (Safeway is an Albertsons banner). EDISQ validates every outbound document against Safeway's companion guide before transmission, so chargebacks stop at the map.
How EDISQ connects to Safeway
Safeway 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 Safeway setup with EDISQ: 2–3 days on the EDI side.
Pricing for Safeway suppliers
No Safeway-specific fees. First 25 documents/month free, then $0.50 per document, cheaper as volume grows — no VAN, mapping, or partner fees. Full pricing →
