COOP'S AUTOMATED TERMINAL IN ESKILSTUNA

Coop is investing in automation and digitalization in order to meet the future needs of their customers. This is part of ensuring a more efficient and sustainable supply chain operation. Coop's latest investment is a new automated terminal in Eskilstuna, which will fully replace the existing terminals in Bro and Västerås by 2024. The terminal in Enköping will not be affected. As a supplier, you have an important role to play in helping us offer our members and customers a supply chain that is adapted for the future.

The terminal in Eskilstuna will open in September 2023, but already now requirements are being placed on all Coop's suppliers who deliver to the terminals in Bro and Västerås. We fully comply with the industry standards for packaging, pallets, master data, and EDI.

If you need help with any transition of items or have questions, please contact us at: cat@coop.se.

EDI-REQUIREMENTS

Coop is constantly developing in order to be able to meet the future demands of customers. To ensure an efficient logistics chain from producer to consumer, we need to increase digitization. With the implementation of Coop's new business system SAP S/4 and the start of operation of the new automated terminal in Eskilstuna, all suppliers who will deliver to the Eskilstuna terminal need to communicate via EDI.

As a supplier, you have an important role in order for us to be able to offer our members and customers goods handling adapted to the future.

This affects all suppliers who deliver via existing terminals except suppliers of Newspapers, Games & Services.

Suppliers must ensure that these requirements are followed before the start of operations of Coop´s new business system SAP S4 and the automated terminal in Eskilstuna.

The ESAP20 messages that are requirements from Coop are the following:

· Orders

·       o Order recognition

·       o Order confirmation

·       Delivery notification – DESADV

·       Invoice (Debit and Credit) – ESAP20 and D93 Control messages

More detailed information about Coop’s new terminal and EDI is available when logged in to Coop Supplier Network.
