EDI Connection to Digitec Galaxus in hours, not months

Seamlessly automate purchase orders, shipping notices, invoices, and other documents  with retailer-ready EDI connectivity—without the usual delays or manual work. Trusted by suppliers scaling across Europe’s largest retail networks.

Digitec Galaxus Supported Documents:

You Send:

  • Order Response (ORDRSP)
  • Dispatch Advice (DESADV)
  • Invoice (INVOIC)

You receive:

  • Purchase Order (ORDERS)
  • Remittance Advice (REMADV)
  • Receipt Advice (RECADV)

Unique Document Requirements:

  • Based on UN/EDIFACT (EANCOM) with retailer-specific segment and qualifier usage
  • Requires GS1-compliant identifiers: GTIN, GLN, SSCC
  • Document mappings may vary across regions, subsidiaries, or fulfillment models (e.g., warehouse vs direct-to-store)

Integration Challenges

Retailers often require custom EDIFACT mappings that include non-standard use of segments, making integration more complex. Accuracy in GLN and GTIN values is critical—any mistakes can lead to document rejections or even blocked goods. Additionally, elements like discount structures, deposit fees (Pfand), and unit-level details such as consumer units must follow strict formatting and logic rules. Depending on the sales channel or fulfillment center, you may also encounter multiple regional formats or different clearinghouses. Without automation or expert guidance, long test cycles and manual validations can significantly delay your go-live timeline.

Technical Complexity

Integrating with Digitec Galaxus involves a demanding setup with strict format and data validation requirements:

Complex Mapping Logic

Mandatory qualifiers and cross-document references must be applied correctly.

Protocol Configuration

AS2, SFTP, or VAN setup often involves certificates and troubleshooting connectivity.

Strict GS1 Validation

All identifiers—items, parties, and logistics—must pass checksum enforcement.

Common Onboarding Failures

A number of common issues can lead to invoice rejections or processing delays when working with Digitec Galaxus:

  • Missing mandatory fields (e.g., address info, order numbers) leading to auto-rejection
  • Incorrect invoice matching logic (e.g., mismatch with order or shipping advice)
  • Security certificate mismatches or expired AS2 credentials
  • Mixed product batches or missing SSCCs in dispatch advices
  • Inconsistent barcode labeling or non-conforming formats in product catalog data

Industry Timeline & Failure Rates

EDI integrations typically require months; Digitec Galaxus specific requirements drive higher error rates without expert integration tools and knowledge. Manual document review during onboarding requires buffer time for feedback cycles.
