Late or missing ASNs can cause receiving delays, manual check-in fees and deductions. We automate shipment transmission so Dillons sees carton and pallet detail before delivery.

What is Dillons EDI?
A Dillons EDI integration lets suppliers exchange daily grocery orders, invoices, shipment notices and product activity data electronically with Dillons. Instead of retyping purchase orders into your ERP or printing invoices by hand, EDI moves the data straight between systems. For food and consumer goods suppliers, this keeps order intake, warehouse picking, SSCC-18 pallet labeling and billing aligned with Dillons routing guide requirements.
Dillons Order-to-Cash Flow
Receive Dillons EDI 850 purchase orders and EDI 875 grocery purchase orders directly into your ERP or order system without manual re-entry.
Send Dillons EDI 810 electronic invoices and EDI 880 grocery invoices automatically once shipments are confirmed and ASN data is validated.
Exchange Dillons EDI 852 product activity data and apply SSCC-18 pallet labels so receiving, replenishment and deductions stay under control.
Dillons Grocery Order-to-Cash ERP Sync
Dillons sends high-volume grocery purchase orders and expects suppliers to return invoices, shipment notices and product activity reports without delay. Cogential IT builds a direct B2B data pipeline that pulls Dillons EDI 850 and 875 documents into your ERP, then pushes back EDI 810 and 880 invoices and ASN data automatically. The same pipeline handles Dillons EDI 852 product activity feeds, so sales and inventory movement stay visible to the buyer. Whether you run SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics or a custom warehouse system, our B2B EDI Integration approach maps your internal data model to Dillons specifications without forcing a platform change.

Yes. Non-compliant GS1-128 carton labels or bad SSCC-18 pallet serial numbers are common drivers of Dillons vendor chargeback prevention work. We validate label format and barcode readability before anything ships.
Dillons EDI 810 electronic invoices must tie back to the purchase order and ASN quantities. Mismatched unit prices, quantities or dates can delay payment or trigger reconciliation holds.
Your EDI Bridge to Dillons

Dillons : A Cogential IT Perspective

Validate Dillons Documents and Labels Before Transmission
Dillons deductions often start with small data mismatches: a wrong store number, a missing SSCC-18 serial, or an invoice quantity that does not match the ASN. Our compliance scrub layer checks every document against Dillons routing guide rules before transmission. We also test GS1-128 carton labels and SSCC-18 pallet labels against readable barcode standards and shipment references. With ERP Integration Solutions, your order, shipment and invoice records stay in sync so Dillons receiving teams see consistent data across every touchpoint.
