Once your organization receives this notice from Kroger, please contact your TrueCommerce Account Manager to have the Kroger Modernized connection added to your account.

Another option is to use the TrueCommerce Add-On Portal to purchase the Kroger Modernized connection.

Kroger will communicate if they require any other transactions with your organization.

What is the Testing Process?

Once the Kroger Modernized connection is added, Kroger will issue a test Order. A test Invoice must be sent to Kroger in response.

First, ensure that the applicable Invoice is Activated and in Test Mode in the Transaction Setup within Foundry. Please utilize either the Invoice (5010) or the Grocery Products Invoice (5010).

TrueCommerce recommends that you review the Template as well to hardcode any static information to reduce as much manual entry as possible.

If your organization is planning on utilizing your integration with your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, please following the steps in our Add-On Checklist to ensure your Partner Setup and Import Document Types are set accordingly.

Once the above steps are completed, the test Invoice can be sent to Kroger. The Invoice can either be created using the Turnaround Function or the Integration (as applicable).

When Kroger approves of the test Invoice, their team will communicate that testing is complete and to move the Kroger Modernized connection into Production. When this occurs, update the transaction mode to Production.

Note: The above graphic is for demonstration purposes, please ensure that the transaction that was tested and approved is moved to Production mode.
