Chef Centraal

Connect your Chef Centraal account to Apicbase. Your Chef Centraal products and prices come into Apicbase automatically, you choose which products each outlet can order, and the orders you send go straight to Chef Centraal.

What the integration does

Chef Centraal's products and your prices are updated in Apicbase every night, so changes Chef Centraal makes show up the next morning. In the Assortment Manager you decide which of these products each outlet can order. Orders you send in Apicbase reach Chef Centraal electronically, and Chef Centraal also receives a copy by email. Deliveries are received in Apicbase as usual.

Getting connected

  1. Tell your Chef Centraal contact that you want to order through Apicbase. Chef Centraal gives you your customer number for each location.
  2. Go to Library Settings, open the Supplier Integrations tab and switch on Chef Centraal. You need the Manage suppliers permission.
  3. Open the supplier, link the outlets that order from Chef Centraal on the Outlets tab, and go to the Outlet Ordering Details tab. For each outlet, fill in:
    • Customer Numbers: the customer number Chef Centraal uses for your orders.
    • Assortment Sync ID: the number under which Chef Centraal sends that outlet's products and prices. Often this is the same number. Check with Chef Centraal.
    • The delivery days under Delivery Day and your order deadlines under Lockup (order latest on). Chef Centraal uses these to plan your deliveries, so keep them up to date.
  4. The next morning, Chef Centraal's products are in Procurement > Assortment Manager, on a page per Assortment Sync ID. Create a product list, add the products you buy, link the list to your outlets and sync. Only products in a synced list can be ordered by the linked outlets. The article The Assortment Manager explains each step.

Sending an order

Create and send the purchase order as usual. Pick the outlet's customer number and set a delivery date: Chef Centraal needs one on every order. Once Chef Centraal has received the order in its system, the order status changes to Opened.

Every order you send reaches Chef Centraal, both electronically and by email. Do not send test orders.

If Apicbase asks for a supplier email address when you send, fill in the address where Chef Centraal receives orders. It is saved for your next orders.

When an order does not go out

In these cases nothing is sent and the order stays open, so you can fix it and send it again.

  • The order has no customer number, please select one before confirming the order. Add the customer number under Customer Numbers for that outlet and pick it on the order.
  • An error about the customer number or the supplier's server: check that the outlet is linked and has its customer number, then try again. If it keeps happening, contact Apicbase support with the order number.
