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: I am currently receiving separate payments from Sears and Kmart. Will these payments be combined as part of this change?

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."
