Thanksgiving shipping expectations [Amazon]
"Dropship partners,
Next week is Thanksgiving, so we just wanted to reinforce our shipping performance expectations around the holiday. You should plan to completely clear out your backlog on Wednesday, November 21. This will allow you some additional capacity to respond quickly to the new orders you receive during your holiday closure.
- If you are only closed on Thursday, November 22, plan to ship all of your Thursday orders and as many of your Friday orders as possible on Friday. Please staff accordingly before and after the holiday.
- If you are closed on both November 22 & 23, it is absolutely critical that you clear out your backlog on Wednesday November 21. Then you can expect to have 4 full days of backlog to ship out on Monday, November 26. Please staff accordingly before and after the holiday. Also keep in mind that you should expect increased holiday shopping volumes.
Thank you,
The Amazon Dropship Team"

Circuit City - EDI 852 Update
"As you are already aware, the AS400 created an EDI 852 Sales and Inventory file for last week that contained missing data. The sale numbers appeared to be correct, however, the inventory numbers were wrong in some - not all - cases. The AS400 team has worked all day yesterday and today on the data and they have isolated what they believe to be the cause of the last few week's problems. They are creating a new report that has last weeks data in it for all of the suppliers that receive the 852 and will send it over to the EDI team at approximately 6:30 this evening. Once received, the EDI Analysts will perform some additional tests on it - compare size and number of suppliers , mapping structure etc to previous accurate files, and if it passes the verification , it will be sent to the suppliers at approximately 8 PM EST. THIS IS A REPLACEMENT FILE FOR ANY 852 SALES AND INVENTORY FILE FOR THE WEEK OF November 4 THRU 10. There is confidence at this time, that the problem can be corrected by the end of this week in order that the 852 be transmitted this coming Sunday with this weeks data in it -- both on-time and accurately. Please continue to refer questions to edi@circuitcity.com. Beryl Holzbach 804-486-4405 EDI Analyst Circuit City Stores, Inc. edi@circuitcity.com"

Under Warehouse Contact Information, please verify that the Warehouse Fraud Email Alias and Warehouse Contact Phone are correct. This is the e-mail address/alias of the person or team that the Amazon Fraud Team can contact to request that an order be stopped prior to shipment. We request this be an e-mail alias of people who can most quickly stop the shipment, such as fraud@YourCompany.com.
All orders pass through Amazon fraud filters. However, if you suspect an order may be fraudulent, please contact Amazon's fraud department at suspect_shipments@amazon.com. If you do not receive a response to your e-mail, please ship the products on the latest carrier pull of the same day.
In the event that you receive an e-mail from Amazon?s fraud team, please follow the instructions in the e-mail and reply to all recipients with a status as quickly as possible. For fraud orders, vendors should make every effort to hold or cancel the orders. If you are able to stop the shipment, we ask that you reply-all to the e-mail request from Amazon alerting us of the status. We also ask that you send us the appropriate floor denial message to cancel the shipment in our system. You should be monitoring your fraud email alias 7 days a week to insure prompt follow up.
As usual, you can find this information in Dropship Central Help.
Thank you,
Amazon Dropship Team"

Create a new case in Drop Ship Central (login to Drop Ship Central and click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page).The Subject line should include your 4 letter warehouse code followed by a dash and the word ?Refusal?.

Burlington Coat Factory: INCREASED NEED FOR ASN's and UCC128 LABELS
"October 1, 2007
Dear Trading Partner:
Burlington Coat Factory continues to make significant changes to our supply chain. Beginning, February 2008, we are implementing a new warehouse management system (WMS). This overhaul of our supply chain software will result in higher levels of accuracy and substantially improved flow of your goods to our store floor. As you have experienced with most of your other trading partners, this new system relies on accurate ASN s and UCC128 labels from you in order to achieve this enhanced efficiency. Consequently, we will require ALL vendors to provide compliant EDI transactions and labels in the course of conducting business with Burlington Coat Factory. For a majority of our vendor partners, we do not anticipate any significant issues for you since this level of service is the norm for most of the retail world. For those of you who are not EDI compliant, there are two options: 1) Test with BCF to become EDI certified utilizing your own system (preferred). 2) Enroll on the BCF Gateway for a free solution on our system. With these two options at hand, fulfilling BCF requirements should be only a modest change in procedure and effort. For the 1000+ vendors who already fulfill orders to BCF with either traditional EDI or the BCF Gateway, no change in process will be required. We only ask that you continue your efforts to maximize ASN accuracy and correct UCC128 placement. We will expect 100% compliance from our vendors on or before January 1, 2008. If you have any general questions please contact vendor.relations@coat.com. Traditional EDI testing or BCF Gateway system setups can be initiated by sending an email to edi.support@coat.com.
Thank you for your strategic partnership and your ongoing support of BCF initiatives.
Jack Moore President of Merchandising, Marketing, Planning/Allocation Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation."

Bed Bath & Beyond - EDI requirements for Canadian Expansion
"To Our Trading Partners,
Bed Bath & Beyond is expanding into Canadian Markets. This expansion will necessitate an additional EDI trading partner set up for BB&B Canada. BB&B will communicate all EDI transactions for our Canadian stores under a new Interchange ID and AS2 configuration. If you are doing direct AS2 communications with BB&B, there will be a new set up for BB&B Canada with a new AS2 ID and certificate. If you are communicating with BB&B through a VAN or service provider, BB&B will take care of this new set up with your VAN/service provider. BB&B Canada Qualifier 12 Interchange ID 9086886731 AS2 ID BBBCanada In addition to a new trading partner set up for BB&B Canada, all vendors must make sure that your UCC-128 carton label can accommodate the 6 character alphanumeric Canadian Zip Codes. The human readable Canadian Zip Code can be displayed in a 3 character, space, 3 character format or 6 character no space format. The zip code barcode must correctly display the application ID (420) and the 6 character zip code with no space. Your vendor number for BB&B Canada will be the same number that you have for BB&B. All transactions currently required for BB&B will be required for BB&B Canada. The mapping for all transactions will be the same. Information concerning Canadian Packaging and Labeling Requirements are available on our vendor web site. The Routing Guide has been updated with requirements for shipping to our Canadian Stores. Required Compliance Dates August 14, 2007 Email response to confirm receipt of this notice. Emails should be sent to edimail@bedbath.com and include a response that you can or can not meet the compliance dates for getting a BB&B Canada trading partner relationship set up as outlined. August 23, 2007 BB&B Canada will be sending an 816 for our new Canadian Store #2001 to test the AS2 connection. This test will be sent under the new Interchange ID and AS2 configuration. We will require a successful transmission of this transaction and the return of a 997 Functional Acknowledgement. This will verify the outbound and inbound communications are set up properly. The AS2 profile and certificate are attached. If you use a service provider and do not currently receive 816 transactions, we will be testing the connection with that service provider (SPS, DIcentral). August 31, 2007 BB&B Canada will send the initial orders for our new Store #2001. September 21, 2007 All vendors must send a sample UCC-128 carton label prior to 9/21/07 showing the address for Store #2001 so that BB&B can verify the Zip Code Barcode scans correctly. Labels should be faxed to 908-688-5886 – Attn: BB&B Canada. Please include your contact information in the fax. The attached UCC-128 label guide contains a sample Canada label with the address for store #2001. Best Regards,

AAFES letter
"Dear Supplier Community,
AAFES fully supports the global data synchronization initiative. We believe the efficiencies derived from synchronizing our data will improve and strengthen our supply chain with your organization. We previously launched this initiative with a focus on new product introductions. We are now expanding our initiative, focusing on synchronizing the items currently in our warehouse stock assortments. Our rollout team understands that if you are not currently engaged in data synchronization, the process can be lengthy. We expect that you will begin this process by joining a data pool. Once you’ve selected your data pool, you “must” ensure your data is accurate. Take the time to validate and cleanse your data prior to publishing. Accurate dimensional data is of high importance to us. Our Retek replenishment rollout begins during the first quarter of 2008; we must have all data synchronized prior to the rollout. It is our expectations that you will complete Step 1 by September 1, 2007.
Step 1: Sign-up for a Data Pool. (If you already have a Data Pool, proceed to Step 2)
Step 2: Follow the step-by-step instructions on how to comply with AAFES’ data synchronization initiative. For your convenience, these instructions are available online at http://www.gxs.com/aafes/gdsn.pdf. You may choose any GDSN-Certified data pool. AAFES has partnered with GXS to provide 1SYNC Onboard Support services if you are interested in using 1SYNC as your Data Pool solution. GXS will be following up with you to provide information about the 1SYNC Onboard Support service and answer questions. If you prefer, you may contact GXS directly at 800.334.5669, option 2105. Once you have completed the data synchronization process with the items you supply to AAFES, the manual option your company is currently using will be phased out. All changes to your item data files must be sent through the GDSN to keep the items in sync. By having accurate, synchronized data in both of our databases, we should achieve economic benefits resulting from fewer invoice/purchase order errors, reduced manual data entry, and faster delivery of new items to our stores. If you have any questions concerning our initiative prior to the initial contact, please contact our e-Business Team at any of the following phone numbers: Adele Kazetta (214-312-4075), Sherry Jones (214-312-4009), or Chris Curtis (214-312-6176).
Thank you for your support and participation.

NORDSTROM: Change in Purchase Order Violation Expense Offset Fees and Return Authorizations July 24, 2007
"Dear Nordstrom Supplier,
As a part of our ongoing efforts to further improve our merchandising and logistics strategy, Nordstrom Direct is moving to bring its compliance requirements, policies and internal support structure in line with existing industry standards and with Nordstrom Full Line Store and Rack business unit practices. The changes outlined below apply to current and future Nordstrom Direct Suppliers.
Effective September 1, 2007, Nordstrom will return merchandise without Return Authorizations (RAs) for purchase order violations including but not limited to unordered or misallocated merchandise or merchandise failing quality inspection.
Effective February 1, 2008, Nordstrom will implement revised expense offset fees for Nordstrom Direct purchase order violations. These will apply to all shipments sent to DC 599 for Store 808 on or after February 1st.
A Purchase Order (PO) violation expense offset fee will be issued when one or more of the following errors are identified:
• Error type “SNOPO”: The shipment included UPCs that were not valid in our system at the time of DC receipt.
• Error type “Exceeds PO”: The shipment included units in excess of what was ordered.
• Error type “Distro Error”: The shipment included units for stores which were not allocated according to the PO.
Once a violation is identified, the merchandise may be kept or returned. The table below outlines the expense offset fee schedule. If the merchandise is returned to you, there will be a separate claim against the invoice in addition to the non-compliance expense offset fee against the PO.
Compliance Issue Expense Offset
Unordered merchandise and received $150 per PO ship-to warehouse
• Plus $12.50 per store
Unordered merchandise and returned to supplier $100 per PO ship-to warehouse
• Plus $12.50 per store
If you have any questions in regard to this policy, please refer to the Expense Offset Fee policies within our online supplier compliance manual at http://www.nordstromsupplier.com/. You may also contact our CMIO Chargebacks department by email at cmio.chargebacks@nordstrom.com.
Sincerely,
Jamie Nordstrom
President

"The Administrative Uniformity Committee (AUC), under the direction of the Department of Health, will adopt uniform transaction standards for claims transactions, eligibility transactions and remittance transactions. Eligibility transaction standards will be adopted by January 15, 2008 and implemented among plans and providers no later than one year later; eligibility transaction standards will be adopted by July 15, 2008 and implemented among plans and providers no later than one year later; and remittance transaction standards will be adopted by December 1, 2008 and implemented among plans and providers no later than one year later.

For purposes of this requirement, “provider” includes nursing homes, boarding care homes, and home care providers.
All transactions must be electronic by the implementation dates for each type of transaction. Web-based and direct data entry methods may be used to meet this requirement.
No payers or providers may require the use of additional companion guides or variations in standards.
$146,000 is appropriated for development of the transaction guides.
