EDI Orders
     

Please bookmark this page and return for any updates on the EDI Orders process and associated documentation.

Sainsbury currently support both the TRADACOMS and EANCOMS EDI standards for various EDI messages.

EDI Orders is the mechanism by which Sainsbury's sends orders to suppliers. Sainsbury has been transmitting EDI orders since the mid 1980's and now sends over 95% of all orders for Goods For Resale this way.

EDI Ordering provides the following benefits:

  • Guaranteed delivery of EDI orders to suppliers.
  • End to end audit trail of orders from Sainsbury's.
  • Maximises data integrity.
  • Minimises re-keying of orders.
  • Assists with the automatic creation of resultant invoices.

There are three GFR orders in use at Sainsbury's: CSCS (also known as direct orders), Scion perishable orders and Scion Non-Perishable Orders.
