Academy Update #6 - October 1st structure change.. please read and pass on!

"To all Academy Vendors....

We are approaching some milestones as we get closer and closer to the December 1st opening of our Twiggs County Distribution Center (TCDC) in Jeffersonville, GA.

There are a few things that I need to make sure you are all completely aware of.

1. Starting October 1, 2008 we will start generating 2 PO's for all Weekly Replenishment styles and BOTH PO's will have a ship to of store 004 .. our Katy, TX DC.Please read through the attachment for further clarity.

2. TCDC (Store 704) is not open for receiving at all until after December 1st, 2008

3. Make SURE.. that you have your systems set to read the N1*ST of the 850 transmission. Just because the TCDC (Store 704) is open does NOT mean that your PO is to ship to that DC. It may be product that we still must have delivered to our Katy, TX DC (Store 004). This must be a standard always followed. Always pay attention to that N1*ST or Ship To Store field on the purchase order.

4. http://vendor.academy.com/ has been revamped. Check the website for TCDC updates and it remains the site to answer most of your Academy questions.

Please make sure to read through and pass this email and attachment on to all divisions of your company.
