Academy Update Email #2

"Hello to all vendors...

Regarding Academy's New Distribution Center, this is update email number two. Some of you have received the previous notice and others did not on the first go round. The recipient list has been broadened to hopefully encompass all offices but we do ask that you make sure that all necessary offices at your company be notified of all pertinent information.

A reminder.. the new DC listed below will not begin receiving shipments until December 1st of this year.

To all Academy vendors...

To make sure that we keep you all abreast of the progress of the new Academy DC in Twiggs Country, Georgia.. we will begin sending out an update every two weeks. If there is nothing new we will at least advise you of this.

Attached is a version of the letter that was sent out in February to all of the EDI contacts. Hopefully this was relayed to all of your offices. It lists the addresses and "store" numbers of the shipping locations.

BIG CHANGE - Please do note that our new DC will now be "store" 704. PLEASE make sure to send this information on to your EDI department as this is different then what was communicated to them in February. If there are EDI questions resulting from this change please have them email krista.johnson@academy.com

The DC address has also changed since the first notification was sent. The attachment is now correct and I've posted the new DC address here for ease of reference.

Store 704
Academy, Ltd.
Twiggs County
DC 1 Academy Drive
Jeffersonville, GA 31044

Some notes on what to expect at this time..

1) The number of purchase orders will begin to double. We are creating orders as if they are shipping to two different DC's although everything will still be shipped to Store 004 / Katy, TX DC. This will allow both sides to become accustomed to the increased number of orders.
a. PO's should be received by the vendor on the same date
b. PO's should have consecutive PO numbers
c. There will be no way to tie the two PO's together

2) All shipments are to be sent to the Katy, TX DC as always The new Twiggs County DC will not be receiving shipment until after December 1st.

3) Some vendors may already be receiving orders showing to ship to 704.. This is fine as the ship dates should be after December 1st.

You can read more about the changes and updates at http://vendor.academy.com/ until the What's New.... section.

Your attention to these notifications is greatly appreciated!
