Common EDI Messages for Carrefour Integration
EDI integration with Carrefour enables the automated exchange of the business documents that support procurement, logistics, invoicing, and product information management across the retail supply chain.
Common EDI transactions include:
- ORDERS | Purchase Order Message: EDI message used to exchange purchase orders between Carrefour and its suppliers. It automates the import of purchase orders into your ERP, streamlines internal order processing, and helps coordinate order fulfillment and shipment preparation.
- DESADV | Dispatch Advice Message: Sent to notify Carrefour that goods have been shipped. ASNs improve shipment visibility, streamline receiving operations, and enhance coordination between suppliers, logistics providers, and the retailer.
- INVOIC | Invoice Message: Electronic invoice message used to automate the exchange and processing of electronic invoices as part of your Order-to-Cash (O2C) and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) workflows.
- PRICAT | Price/Sales Catalogue Message: Used to exchange product catalog information, including item data, pricing, product attributes, and commercial references. Keeping product information synchronized is essential for efficient merchandising, inventory management, logistics, and retail operations.
The EDI transactions required for Carrefour integration may vary depending on your trading agreement, supplier profile, product category, logistics model, and the specific business processes established with the retailer.

One B2B Platform for Your Entire Trading Partner Network
Your EDI integration with Carrefour is just one part of a much broader B2B ecosystem. Many organizations need to exchange business documents with retailers, marketplaces, logistics providers, wholesalers, suppliers, international customers, and government agencies.
EDICOM centralizes these connections in a cloud-based B2B integration platform that supports multiple EDI standards, communication protocols, and document formats through a single connection.
This allows you to scale your trading partner network without building and maintaining separate integrations, deploying multiple point solutions, or managing manual processes for each business partner.
Streamline Your Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay Processes
An EDI integration with Carrefour helps you digitize and automate critical business processes across procurement, sales, logistics, invoicing, and product data management.
Within your Order-to-Cash (O2C) process, you can automate the receipt of purchase orders, generate advance shipping notices (ASNs), issue electronic invoices, and track the status of every business document throughout the transaction lifecycle.
For Procure-to-Pay (P2P), you can integrate purchase orders, delivery notes, invoices, and other procurement documents to streamline purchasing and supplier collaboration.
In addition, EDI messages such as PRICAT help keep product catalogs, pricing, and item master data synchronized across systems, ensuring consistent, up-to-date commercial information throughout your retail operations.
By automating these workflows, you gain greater operational visibility, reduce manual processing time, and increase the reliability of the information flowing through your ERP and business systems.
