Lancaster

🔌

Rundoo connects to Lancaster (Merit Distribution Group / E.J. Welch) over EDI so your purchase orders are sent to Lancaster electronically.

What works today

The Lancaster integration currently supports outbound purchase orders only. When you submit a purchase order to your Lancaster vendor in Rundoo, the order is transmitted to Lancaster automatically as an EDI 850 — no emailing or re-keying.

Not yet supported

Receiving documents from Lancaster — electronic shipment notices (856) and invoices (810) that would auto-populate receiving and costs — are not live yet. For now, receiving and vendor invoices for Lancaster orders are still entered manually.

How to use it

  1. Make sure your Lancaster vendor in Rundoo shows the EDI plug icon (Rundoo turns this on during setup).

  2. Create and submit a purchase order to the Lancaster vendor the way you normally would.

  3. The order is sent to Lancaster automatically when you submit it.

Getting set up

Setup is handled by Rundoo. Email integrations@rundoo.ai (or call Rundoo Support at (650) 334-3205) with your Lancaster account number for each location. Lancaster asks that the EDI request be initiated by the customer to both Lancaster and Rundoo.
