Target is discontinuing the support of Grocery EDI Standards 875, 876, and 880 effective December 15, 2017.
Vendor action is needed to stay compliant with Target and avoid issues with payment processing.
What is Changing?
- Partners currently trading EDI documents 875, 876, and 880 with Target will need to migrate to the General Merchandise EDI Standards 850, 860, and 810 by 12-15-17.
- The 810 invoice will require inbound testing to ensure invoice data can flow through your EDI system to Target’s Account Payable system.
- The 856 is not required at this time (unless shipping to RDCs or FDCs).
Affected EDI Documents:
- EDI 875 Grocery Products Purchase Order
- EDI 876 Grocery Products Purchase Order Change
- EDI 880 Grocery Products Invoice
- EDI 850 Purchase Order
- EDI 860 Purchase Order Change Request – Buyer Initiated

- If your company is not currently doing business with Target, but will be doing business with Target on December 15, 2017 or thereafter, you will still be required to make the updates identified in the guide.
