Loblaws Department Number Information
There are three things to know about department numbers:
  1. The department number that you used on your test invoice and/or test credit note is most likely NOT the one you will be using to send production invoices.

  2. Faxinating does not validate department numbers. In other words, you can send us any number you want and your invoice will still be transmitted to Loblaws.

  3. Department numbers are not applicable in SAP and will not be populated as per Legacy practices. Expect a generic dept 62 to come through on all orders from SAP stores.

These three questions come up the most often.

  • Q1: How do I get a department number?
    A: Faxinating does not know how a supplier obtains a department number. Send an email to Loblaws vendor setup department @ CDMVendorSetup@Loblaw.ca or speak to your category manager.

  • Q2: Loblaws gave me this department number to use and you have rejected my invoice for invalid department number.
    A: The rejection comes from Loblaws. Send an email with the issue, your company name and supplier number to Loblaws vendor setup department @ CDMVendorSetup@Loblaw.ca.

  • Q3: Where can I find a list of department numbers?
    A: You can find the list of all department numbers on the SPS website or send an email to CDMVendorSetup@Loblaw.ca. Check with them to find out if you need to be authorized by Loblaws to sell to a specific department.
