Required EDI documents
Labeling & packaging
- GS1-128 / UCC-128 labels with an SSCC; the 856 must carry carton contents, SSCC, weights, and carrier/tracking.
- Incorrect carton data is reported to trigger chargebacks.
Connection & portal
- Supports AS2, FTP, SMTP, and major public/private VANs.
- Sprouts partnered with SPS Commerce to enable its vendor community; new-item submission is via the Sprouts supplier site.
Onboarding & testing
Vendors must be EDI-capable to receive POs and to send PO acknowledgments, invoices, and ASNs. Typical go-live is reported at 6–10 weeks depending on responsiveness and complexity.
Compliance & chargebacks
- • Reported chargebacks for incorrect ASN/carton data and labeling errors; specific fill-rate/OTIF percentages and dollar figures aren’t published publicly.
Worth knowing
- • Natural/organic grocery; the required document set is subject to change — confirm with Sprouts.
- • SPS Commerce is the de facto onboarding channel; standard 850/810 rather than grocery UCS 875/880 (unconfirmed for Sprouts).
