1. If a new Bidfood agreement is to be added to IndiCater, please ensure that you have communicated this with both your Bidfood and IndiCater account managers.

2. Create the supplier record in IndiCater using the below guide:
   
   
   1. In the Primary Contact field, enter NAE-Commerce&Central@bidfood.co.uk as one of the email addresses. This is a business continuity measure only and ensures that if an order fails to send electronically, that an emailed order will go to this email address which is as per the ways of working agreed with Bidfood. 
      
      
   2. In the Additional Contacts section, create a new user as per the below selecting EDI Disputes as the role. This is the address that the email will go to if the user disputes an invoice at the EDI invoice approval stage. The Please confirm the correct email address is decided by Bidfood on a client by client basis and may not always be the NAE email below. If unsure, please check with IndiCater or Bidfood although this will be checked by IndiCater before the agreement is live with your Bidfood account manager as it may differ to the one in point a above.

4. Product Substitutions are agreed with Bidfood on a client by client basis. If an item is substituted the user will be advised in the order response. If a substitute product is given in the order response, the original item will be marked as out of stock and the user will see the new item in the order modified notification. When booking off the order, the user is responsible for changing the quantity of the original item to 0 and adding in the new item if they choose to accept it. If Bidfood order response includes notification of an out of stock product with no substitute offered, the outlet is responsible for placing a new order for a different product.
