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.
