Walgreens EDI Compliance & Seamless Supplier Integration

Why EDI Matters for Walgreens Suppliers

Walgreens uses Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to streamline procurement, shipping, invoicing, and settlement. Manual processes no longer meet the expectations of high-volume retail environments for:

• Streamlined purchase orders and acknowledgements
• Accurate Advanced Ship Notices (ASNs) with correct carton/pallet labels
• Timely invoices and remittances
• Compliance with chargeback protection programs

Walgreens now classifies EDI capability as a mandatory requirement for most suppliers, ensuring efficiency and accuracy across the supply chain.

Walgreens EDI Requirements: What You Must Know

To integrate successfully with Walgreens, suppliers must comply with specific standards and document exchange requirements. Key areas include:

Core Transaction Sets

• EDI 850 – Purchase Order (Retailer → Supplier)
• EDI 856 – Advanced Ship Notice (Supplier → Retailer)
• EDI 810 – Invoice (Supplier → Retailer)
• EDI 997 – Functional Acknowledgment (Receipt Confirmation)
