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 EVE articles by status” would look like.
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"method": "pim.kaufland.com/get_eve_articles",
"input": {
"status": "Delayed"
}
}'
{
"status": "completed",
"data": {
"articles": [
{
"article_number": "4410273",
"article_name": "Acme sparkling mineral water 1.5 l",
"country_group": "DE, CZ, SK",
"status": "Delayed",
"due_date": "2026-11-10",
"note": "Labels: waiting for printer spec"
}
],
"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 Business Partner Portal’s own options
Kaufland does not describe an API for the Business Partner Portal, which is a browser tool for EVE packaging data and NEO private label specifications. Orders, delivery notes and invoices go by EDI: classic EDI in EANCOM over AS2 or X400, or the free WebEDI portal. Product master data goes through Markant's platform or a data pool.
| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
|---|---|---|
| Classic EDI | ORDERS, DESADV and INVOIC messages in GS1 EANCOM, sent over AS2 or X400 from your own EDI system or an EDI provider. | An EDI system or provider, set up with your Kaufland contact partner. The Self-EDI Portal guides the connection to go-live. |
| WebEDI portal | View Kaufland orders and create shipping notifications and invoices in a web interface, which generates the EDI messages. | Free, for small and medium-sized suppliers without an EDI system. |
| Product data through Markant | Master data, product images and documents in a web template, or from a data pool provider, delivered to Kaufland by Markant. | Registration with Markant. Food, brand products with a GTIN, for Germany, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. |
| The Business Partner Portal by hand | The EVE dashboard and Article Overview, and the NEO dashboard and Status Overview, in the browser. | A personal account created by your Kaufland Purchasing contact. |

Signing in to the Business Partner Portal
The Business Partner Portal signs you in at pim.kaufland.com with your personal email address and password, then a code sent by email at each login. One login opens the tools Kaufland activated for you, such as EVE and NEO. With Fous you sign in once through the portal's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, the emailed code is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.
Worth knowing
- Kaufland FOOD articles have 3 days in EVE
- EVE's standard processing time for Kaufland FOOD is 3 days. After the due date the article turns Delayed, a reminder is emailed daily and an internal escalation starts.
- Send Data cannot be undone
- After Send Data an EVE article can no longer be edited until it is released again. Country groups cannot be changed once confirmed, except by a request in the support form.
- Processed by: Supplier means it is your turn
- NEO's Status Overview lists every ongoing project, also those under review at Kaufland. The Processed by column shows whose turn it is, and Supplier means you need to act.
- Accounts are personal and invited
- Self-registration is not possible: your Kaufland Purchasing contact creates each account. Shared mailboxes are not allowed, and 5 wrong passwords block access.

Frequently asked questions
Kaufland does not describe one for the portal. Orders, delivery notes and invoices are exchanged by EDI, in EANCOM over AS2 or X400 or through the free WebEDI portal, and product master data goes through Markant. EVE and NEO are used in the browser.
Ask your responsible buyer at Kaufland. They need the colleague's first name, last name, telephone number, personal email address and role. Shared addresses such as a quality team mailbox are not allowed.
New is a request just received, In Process is one you started, In Correction is a completed request returned by the Schwarz Group auditor, and Delayed is one past its due date. The dashboard shows the number of articles in each, with Delayed Articles at the bottom.
Kaufland describes EVE as a web interface for entering packaging data per component. With Fous you can build a method that fills in a component on an article and stops before Send Data, called from your code, so the check and Send Data stay with you.
No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Business Partner Portal account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
