The Kroger Co uses computer captured scan
sales data to exchange with its trading partner. Fred Meyer
Stores buyers use the same available data to monitor SKU
performance, build store and/or warehouse inventories (purchase
products), and manage all areas to drive sales. At the request
of the Fred Meyer Stores buyer, EDI will exchange this
information via EDI with suppliers.
The EDI team will always setup vendors requested
by the buyer on the basic 852 Scan Sales. The ZA segment will
summarize sales by SKU for all selling location during the prior
week. The trading partner can request the day of the week the
852 is sent.
Specialized 852 programs are available; however,
these programs require buyer approval. Typically,
implementation of specialized 852 programs require the vendor to
provide specific analysis of the data and reporting and input
back to the Fred Meyer Stores buyer to positively impact sales
for products reported on. The EDI team will defer all vendors
requesting specialized 852s to the buyer for approval.
