Update: Bank Consolidation: Sears ACH Co Names and ID's

"To Our EDI Trading Partners:

Effective April 6, 2009, Sears Holdings will be moving our bank payments for Sears from Harris Bank to Wachovia.

If you receive your EDI remittance data directly from Sears, this bank change affects 820 transactions sent from 08*6111250028 only.

You may notice several changes as a result of this move. In preparation of this change, on March 16, 2009, Sears will transmit prenote transactions to Wachovia. This may create an entry on your bank statement, but there will not be any money transferred. Additionally, the bank account numbers, and the payer name in the 820 will change to reflect Sears Holdings Management Corporation. Please make sure you have not hard coded any of this information into your current transactions or systems, as they will fail following our move to Wachovia. Most importantly, you will receive your money from Wachovia. You may need to inform your bank of these changes to prevent any delay in the receipt of funds.

Frequently asked questions about this change are outlined below. Additional questions not addressed in this communication should be directed to our EDI team at searsedi@searshc.com.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What date will the bank, account #, and routing # be changing?
A: The planned date of change for Sears is April 6, 2009. Kmart has already transitioned to Wachovia.

Q: What are the current & new routing & account #'s for Sears and Kmart?
A: The routing & account #'s are available in the EDI section of "In the News" on Sears Business Exchange® (https://business.sears.com/). Refer to the article "Update: Bank Consolidation: Sears ACH Co Names and ID's.

Q: What EDI 820 segments will be affected?
A: The data contained in the element N102 (where N101 = PR) and the BPR segment will be changing to reflect updated payer name, routing #, and account #. The format of these segments will not be changing.

Q: I am currently receiving separate payments from Sears and Kmart. Will these payments be combined as part of this change?
A: If you are currently receiving separate payments for Sears and Kmart, you will continue to receive separate payments. If you currently receive combined payments, they will continue to be combined.

Q: Does this change affect Orchard Hardware?
A: This change does not affect Orchard Hardware. Payments for Orchard Hardware will continue to go through Harris Bank. Orchard Hardware uses a different EDI system and different sender/receiver IDs."

ASN Routing ID Requirement New Implementation Date [Toys R Us]

"Valued Vendor Partner:

Please be advised of the new implementation date below for compliance infractions related to the ASN Routing ID requirement. As advised, we require a valid Routing ID in the ASN which must match the exact Routing ID provided by the Toys “R” Us Transportation Team when shipping collect shipments.

REMINDER:
For receipts on, or after, March 15, 2009, an invalid Routing ID on the ASN at
time of receipt will result in a compliance infraction.

These infractions will start to post in the Delivery Performance System (“DPS”)
on Sunday March 22, 2009, for your first review Monday March 23, 2009.

When an invalid Routing ID is detected in the edit process for our incoming ASNs we automatically transmit an error message via email to the vendor with supporting details of this error. This error must be corrected prior to shipment receipt at the DC to avoid chargebacks.

Failure to meet this requirement will result in an ASN VARIANCE
infraction, which carries a $500 chargeback per ASN.

OUT OF SCOPE: US Imports, POE, Consolidator, Dotcom Location 6201, and KCOMS Apparel.

An updated version of the Vendor Appeal Matrix will be distributed to all registered users of DPS and updated in the ‘Help’ section of DPS. This will provide you with the mandatory documentation needed to appeal this type of ASN Variance infraction.

An updated DPS navigation manual reflecting the ASN VARIANCE infraction types will be available on the vendor extranet after our next quarterly update. Questions regarding the ASN Integrity Program should be sent to vendorsupport@toysrus.com or to your Vendor Performance Analyst."

General Conformity Certificates for Nordstrom

"Dear Nordstrom Vendor,

First, we apologize that we cannot address this letter to you personally. We want to ensure that all vendors receive the same information on this important subject, and this seemed the best way to communicate to you quickly.

As you know, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires manufacturers to issue a General Conformity Certificate (GCC) for specific products that are produced both domestically and overseas. Each GCC certifies that a product meets all applicable safety laws and regulations enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

To ensure that the goods we sell in our stores are made in compliance with applicable law, we developed the Nordstrom Partnership Guidelines. Under these Guidelines, all existing and new vendors must comply with the CPSIA, which includes providing Nordstrom a copy of the GCC to keep on record for a minimum of three years.

Please note that Nordstrom will not determine the need for required contents of a supplier's GCC. Vendors are required to independently determine whether their products require a GCC, and if necessary, to issue one based on test results obtained from an accredited independent third-party laboratory. Any GCC submitted to Nordstrom must contain detailed information identifying the product, including a SKU and/or product tracking information.

Vendors can submit an electronic copy of a GCC by emailing Nordstrom directly at CMIO.compliance@nordstrom.com, or by posting it online and providing Nordstrom the URL and user/ID password.

For more information about the CPSC visit:
Main CPSIA Web Page: http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html

CPSC's Sample GCC: http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/faq/elecertfaq.pdf

CPSIA Laws, Summaries & FAQs: http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/legislation.html

CPSC Regulated Products Table: http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/reg1.html

The trust we have with our customers is critical to us and we know that you value the safety of your products and reputation just as much as we do. We appreciate your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,

Mary Porter
CMIO Compliance Director

CVS Map Changes Critical for your (EDI) Orders

The change went into effect yesterday, February 10, 2009 @ 12:00pm eastern

If your company ships to stores, previously we expected the following N1*ST**9*0017866642798~
It has become 92 + 5 digit store number (current store number with leading zero). ex. N1*ST**92*02798~


Or if your company ships to the DC's , previously within the PO you received N1*ST**9*001786664W505~
It has become 54 + DC code (minus the DUNs #). ex. N1*ST**54*W505~


There have been no changes to the "Remit to'


If you currently receive the following, N1*ST**11*PR0205559~
No changes are necessary within the N. 03 and N1 04.

Toys R Us: CPSIA and California AB 1108 Compliance

"CPSIA and California AB 1108 Compliance
UPC Change for Mixed Compliant and Non-Compliant Units
Immediate Action Required

February 10, 2009

As you may know, we stopped selling certain items in California as of January 1, 2009 because they contain specified phthalates above the legal limit. Similarly, as of February 10, 2009, we are stopping sale on certain items nationwide because they contain lead above the legal limit and/or they contain specified phthalates above the legal limit. You are receiving this letter because: (a) one or more of your items is included in at least one of the aforementioned stop sales AND (b) compliant units of the same item(s) have been, or are being, shipped to Toys"R"Us/Babies"R"Us. Because Toys"R"Us/Babies"R"Us prevents the sale of non-compliant items through, among other methods, an electronic “stop sale”, unless the UPC of compliant units is changed, even compliant units will be subject to the electronic “stop sale”.

Accordingly, all compliant units of these items must be re-labeled with a new UPC, as follows:

(a) Merchandise Ordered but not yet Shipped
Vendor must obtain a new UPC and re-label all compliant units with the new UPC prior to shipment. Units shipped with the old UPC will be refused.

(b) Merchandise Currently Held at DHL Facilities in Asia
Vendor must obtain a new UPC and produce and ship new UPC labels to the DHL facility in Asia where the merchandise is being held no later than February 13, 2009 (see instructions below). Merchandise will be re-labeled at the DHL facility at the vendor’s expense, and DHL will bill the vendor directly for services. After February 13, 2009, product that has not been re-labeled will be returned to the shipper and further shipments with the old UPC will be refused.

(c) Merchandise in Transit or in Toys”R”Us/Babies”R”Us Stores or Distribution Centers
Vendor must obtain a new UPC and provide Premium Retail Services with new UPC labels no later than February 18, 2009 (see instructions below). Premium Retail Services will visit all Toys"R"Us/Babies"R"Us stores and distribution centers to re-label compliant merchandise. Vendor will be responsible for all costs associated with these services. Merchandise in our stores and distribution centers that has not been re-labeled will be returned or destroyed.

Please contact your Toys”R”Us/Babies”R”Us buyer or, for Private Brand product, your Toys “R” Us/Babies “R” Us Brand Manager no later than February 13, 2009 to address disposition of these items. Thank you for your cooperation.





Instructions

UPC Re-Labeling Instructions:

· Old UPC bar code should be defaced with black marker to make it unscannable.
· New UPC label must cover old UPC bar code completely.
· New UPC label must be opaque, so that old bar code cannot be scanned through it.
· New UPC label must have the new UPC and the Toys”R”Us/Babies”R”Us SKN number printed on it.
· New UPC label must be non-removable.

UPC Label Ship-To Addresses:

· New UPC labels for merchandise that is located at DHL facilities in Asia, as outlined in paragraph (b) above, must be sent to one of the following locations, depending upon where the merchandise was shipped:

o DHL ISC (Hong Kong) Limited
