IMF Number- Multiple divisions

picklerick12 — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 18:39:56 GMT

I was able to successfully process GTIN #10041641700260 for IMF. Could someone please clarify whether each division is assigned a separate IMF number, or if the IMF # generated and displayed in the sync status report is used for all divisions requested when it was published?

Hello @picklerick12 and welcome to the customer community. Thanks for reaching out.

In general, an IMF is generated for all divisions an item is published to. There are rare occasions when the same item has a Kroger Item Submission Reason Code of New Item for one or several divisions and a different Item Submission Reason Code, for example Division Request, for one division only. Harris Teeter is an example of a division receiving items as Division Request, while most other divisions will receive items as New Items only. Your Kroger buyer will in general advise you on this and, if needed, can be contacted for more details about the appropriate Submission Reason Code for you, as this can vary from one item to another and one division to another.

We are here for you if there is anything else we may assist with, please. Thank you!
