Automate the Albertsons vendor portal with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• AVISS tickets waiting on you, every weekday

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Get the AVISS tickets in the Pending state.

  Step 2

  Keep the tickets that were not Pending on the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with ticket number, request type, description and assigned to.

• AVISS ticket state changes, to your deductions log

  Build this

  Starts

  Every day at 17:00

  Step 1

  Get all AVISS tickets from the Ticket List View.

  Step 2

  Keep the tickets whose state changed since the last run, and stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with its new state and date updated, to your webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get AVISS tickets” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "partner.safeway.com/get_aviss_tickets",
    "input": {
      "state": "Pending"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "tickets": [
      {
        "ticket_number": "0048213",
        "date_updated": "2026-11-10",
        "state": "Pending",
        "request_type": "Short-Paid Invoice or Deduction",
        "name_of_vendor": "Acme Foods",
        "assigned_to": "Accounts Payable",
        "description": "Need to dispute a deduction or billing, invoice 77120"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

The Albertsons vendor portal’s own options

Albertsons exchanges purchase orders, invoices, ship notices and payment remittances with suppliers by EDI, over a direct AS2 connection or your VAN. Its supplier pages document no API for the vendor portal's web tools: AVISS, the IDA reports and Webview schematics are used in the browser.

Signing in to the Albertsons vendor portal

The vendor portal signs you in on an Albertsons Companies page headed Sign in with your organizational account, with your user ID in the form userID@safeway.com and your password. AVISS opens through a Microsoft sign-in page. With Fous you sign in once through the site's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs.

Worth knowing

Each tool is its own site

The vendor portal links out to AVISS, the IDA reports, Webview, APEX and Specright, and lists separate support for EDI, IDA, Webview and Specright. A method you build works in one of these tools.

One purchase order per invoice

An invoice that references other purchase orders, even ones that shipped together, generates errors and has to be re-submitted. Several invoices for one PO are allowed with N9 'AI' references.

No corrected purchase orders

Albertsons sends only an original EDI purchase order and cannot re-transmit a corrected one. It can resend a transaction that was already sent.

EDI runs on Mountain Time

Purchase orders go out at 12:05 AM and then hourly from 2:05 AM to 10:05 PM, Mountain Time. Application Advice (824) for invoice errors is processed at 2:00 AM.
