Updated Anna's Linens EDI Mapping Guidelines

"Dear Trading Partners:

As part of Anna's Linens supply chain transportation initiatives it is necessary to revise our current EDI mapping guidelines. Attached includes the mapping guides for the 850, 810 & 856 EDI documents. Also included are the UCC128 label specifications and a sample label for reference. Please review all mapping guides for any changes to you current configuration, especially in regards to 'Business Rules' and any 'notes' within the mapping documents. The primary change to mapping is the implementation of the SDQ segment for pre-distributed EDI 850 purchase orders. Pre-distributed purchase orders will contain a 'ship to' location of one of Anna's Linens distribution centers. We will continue to send purchase orders without an SDQ segment for purchase orders that are to be shipped directly to the store location (N1/ST is a store location) or bulk orders (N1/ST is a DC and no SDQ exists) shipping to one of our DC locations. In regards to 810 & 856 mapping, we have not changed the document formats however the due to business rule changes, mapping changes may be necessary in your systems. The updated mapping guides will take effect on September 2, 2008. In order to ensure compliance to the updated mapping guidelines, Anna's Linens EDI department will transmit test 850 documents to all of our trading partners. It is expected that Anna's Linens receives corresponding test 810 and 856 documents to complete the testing process. In addition, sample UCC128 labels should be emailed to our EDI department (edi@annaslinens.com) for approval. Please contact Anna's Linens' EDI department when you are ready to receive your test purchase orders. Also, please provide a test ID/Qualifier if necessary and advise whether you want Anna's Linens to use a test ID/Qualifier when sending the test purchase orders.

Sincerely,
Anna’s Linens EDI Department
Have a wonderful day!!!

New Mapping Requirement for Gottschalks

"We are in the process of implementing a second REF segment in our 850 purchase orders effective August 26, 2008. This may require a mapping change on your part in order to accept the 850 purchase order from us. Initially this will be an optional segment but will be mandatory in the near future. Example: REF*DP*341 (currently a required segment) REF*PG*SWIMWEAR (we will now be using this second REF segment as well) For those of you using VICS version 4010, we will be using PG in REF01 which is nonstandard for this version. Do you foresee any issues with this?
