Dear Costco Supplier,
June 7, 2013
UPDATED INFORMATION – EFFECTIVE DATE JULY 1, 2013
Costco Wholesale is currently involved in a project to implement an ERP software solution provided by
SAP. Because you are currently an EDI partner with Costco this will impact you as our EDI requirements
must change to accommodate the SAP model. Please see the information below for more details
regarding the new requirements that must be followed along with our compliance date.
Costco’s new requirements:
 Product identification number transmitted on Costco’s 850/860 Purchase Order/Change must be used
on your 810 Invoice. You will receive an 824 error rejection if this information is not supplied.
 All Item level discounts (excluding rebates) transmitted on Costco’s 850/860 Purchase Order/Change
must be included on your 810 Invoice.
What we need from you:
All of the below bolded information transmitted to you on the 850/860 Purchase Order/Change must be
included on the 810 Invoice you transmit to Costco Wholesale. This includes the PO number, PO date,
PO terms, quantity, price, product identification number (Costco item number, Supplier item number,
UPC, GTIN, etc.) and all item level discounts (excluding rebates).
Your compliance is required by July 1, 2013. If you are already in compliance, we thank you and
no action is required.
