Does Kroger provide support for VIP if there is a specific question you can't find an answer for?

I need to enter data in the VIP for region and distribution type. However, 2 of the warehouse locations that we ship to are not listed in the dropdown lists for the regions. I am not sure how to move forward as I can't verify the region, since they could each be one of two regions, nor can I see the location in the list. I have queried the contact we have, but they did not have an answer. Any help is appreciated.

Hello @nj73, 

Can you tell me which warehouse locations you are looking for?

A screenshot would be helpful if you have one.

One is Kroger in Portland (it was formerly a Peyton location), TN, and the other is Peyton Phoenix, AZ. My records show Portland as 86 and Phoenix as 185. We also do King Soopers in Colorado, but I found that one on the dropdown list. Here is what I am seeing in VIP. An additional, unrelated question - is there a place in IM or VIP to add our stock code/item number that is different from the GTIN Item ID? I am sure I must just be missing it somehow. Thanks.

Hello @nj73, 

You can select 'ALL REGIONS' and use either 'Local Warehouse' or 'Regional/Peyton Warehouse'. This will ensure your GTINs are routed to the correct Kroger team so they arrive at Portland and Phoenix.

*Kroger may have added new stores/warehouses, but the regional teams ensure all products are routed to the correct locations. As long as the region is selected, your GTIN is good.

If your Stock Code/Item Number is different from the GTIN, you can add an Alternate Item Identification ID in Item Management.

Under Alternate Item Identification:

• Alternate Item Identification Agency = Assigned by Manufacturer
  Alternate Item Identification ID = Stock Code/Item Number

[nj73]

The Alternate item sounds good. I will do that. Thanks. And the local or Peytons sounds good.

However, regarding "all regions", will I be able to enter different pricing? Each location has its own pricing. I am sorry I didn't think of that option or I would have added that information.

Hello @nj73, 

If you have different pricing, you can list the same region twice. Just ensure to check only the locations in that region with the corresponding price.
