Dicks Sporting Goods: Attn Domestic Vendors Using TMS to Request Routing

"ATTENTION DOMESTIC VENDORS
May 28, 2008
To Our Valued Partner:
Dick’s Sporting Goods will be upgrading the TMS Vendor Portal on Monday, June 9th. In preparation of the upgrade, we will be bringing down the portal on Thursday, June 5th at Midnight, EST. All routing MUST be submitted by midnight on June 5th. This includes submitting all routing requests in the Confirmed Routing Request link that you will need to ship.

The system will be down through the weekend and turned back on, Monday, June 9th at 8:00 AM EST. All vendors using the TMS to submit routing must log on to http://www.dsgfreight.com/ to access the training under the “Routing” link. The URL for the TMS website will remain as http://transportation.dcsg.com/ and you will continue to use your assigned username and password.

Highlights of the TMS upgrade include:
• Routing Request Number- The nomenclature of the routing request number will no longer be destination specific (PLNF or SMTN.) The shipment ID nomenclature will not change.
• PO List- Filtering by a specific PO or a date range for a list of purchase orders.
o If you are unable to locate a PO when adding PO lines to the routing request, you should review the status of the PO:
? Open - no quantities have been requested.
? In Progress - not all quantities have been requested.
? Closed - the entire quantity has been requested.

Contact the TMS Help Desk to request the PO to be opened to ship additional quantities.
o Verify the Ready Date falls within the ship window (Do Not Ship Before Date and Cancel if Not Shipped by Date). If the PO is past the cancel date, contact the buyer for an extension.
o Review the Cancel Indicator to verify if the PO has been cancelled.

Contact the buyer with any questions related to cancelled Purchase Orders.
• Hazmat Flag- If you are shipping hazardous materials, you must edit the routing request to indicate Hazmat before submission.

If you have any questions related to the TMS upgrade, please contact the TMS Help Desk at 724-273-4500 or TMS@dcsg.com.

Thank you,
Dick’s Sporting Goods Transportation"
